Memoirs of Steph

When It Started

A new series coming to the Top Tier next month (In a few days).

If you have been on Patreon from the beginning with me or taken the time to look back at the posts, you'll know some of the background story of why I started photographing Steph.

I've always enjoyed photography, visual arts, lighting, story telling, but never took it seriously. I was distracted with life, jobs, and self doubt.

When Steph became pregnant, I knew I wanted to document it. I also knew I needed to do it right. So I bought my first DSLR camera and started reading/watching youtube on how to be a photographer. I wasn't the best photographer by any means, especially when it came to studio lighting. ( I was using a window for light, and a bed sheet for a backdrop) but it was this series that got me learning a camera, lighting, and really helped me launch a photography and ultimately a production business.

Anyway, I've finally curated a series I think is presentable.

This series is personal in nature and has a lot of nudity, poses, and mistakes on my end in photography throughout the 39 weeks of photoshoots we did. From when she was a marathon runner finding out she was pregnant, to moments before she gave birth (they would not let me photograph her giving birth... I was so mad) With all that in mind, it will only be available on the top tier. I plan to open up a few more spaces on the 1st of September, or for whoever requests who has been a supporter for at least a month.

It's amazing to see how her body transforms during pregnancy. In my opinion she was at one of her prettiest moments of her life while she was pregnant and breastfeeding as I've stated before.

Her body now does not look like she has given birth before; the next series in the chronological order would be the start of her fitness journey which I documented, getting her body not only back to her pre pregnancy body, but far exceeding her fitness goals.

I've gotten many requests and support to showcase this gallery in the body of work, but I'll ask again... Would you like to see this gallery presented? Thoughts?
