WELCOME

Hey, I'm Stephanie Bagley!

 

Nine years ago, I scheduled a photoshoot for our new family of four. Like many new moms, I felt self-conscious about my post-baby body. I nervously asked the photographer to help me with posing. His response? A dismissive laugh and the words, “You get what you get.” I fought back tears throughout the entire session.

On the way home, I told my husband, “I’m going to become a photographer—and I’ll make sure every woman feels beautiful, no matter her size.”

That moment sparked a passion that has shaped my journey ever since.

Today, my favorite part of being a photographer is helping women feel radiant and confident in every photo I take because every woman deserves to see herself as beautiful as she truly is!

The first five years of my photography journey were spent in my Utah studio, collaborating with some of the most talented hair and makeup artists in the state (check out the photos below!). During that time, I had the honor of photographing over 100 incredible women and earned several portrait photography awards.

In 2020, my husband Alex and I felt drawn to make a big change. We relocated to Idaho, where Alex was born and raised, surrounded by the stunning Tetons and the breathtaking beauty of Teton Valley. Inspired by the natural landscapes, I decided to embrace outdoor photography rather than opening another studio.

Four years later, I couldn’t be happier! Capturing memories against Idaho’s gorgeous backdrops has been an absolute joy, and I can’t wait to share this experience with you.

WHY CHOOSE ME AS YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER?

Because I know how to make every woman feel absolutely gorgeous and have photos of herself and her family that she loves!

 

Plus, I'm super fun!
