My name is Stevanie but please call me Stevie — all my friends do. 

I’m a Marin transplant, a mother of two munchkins and master multitasker. This is my website. Welcome to my work. 

I have been working in the photo world for the past decade. Starting at a flower delivery startup, where I styled and produced all photography and managed the social accounts. Soup to nuts. Concept to creation. I wore many hats and created beautiful imagery to highlight a beguiling product. 

Then, I became the sole in-house photo producer at eBay — the largest market place in the world — for their North America creative. eBay sells everything and so I’ve produced most of it — from product shoots, studio sets, in-home and on location car shoots, to fashion street style. 

Now I’m the Senior Photo Manager for Pottery Barn Kids & Teen. I oversee the Brand Marketing and Ecom photography for both concepts. Instead of producing a photoshoot, I manage the whole season, the entire year, from a higher level. I partner with the creative, merchant, and marketing teams to bring their visions to life. 

Back in the day I dreamed of being a writer. And my love of the written word is still strong — be it poetry, fiction, non-fiction, a witty text exchange or perfectly crafted email. I will read and re-read the perfect words. Some of my old work is linked here. Feel free to reach out. I love correspondence, and write a wicked birthday card. 

I also used to be an avid traveler. Whether biking through Italy, yoga-ing in Costa Rica or taking several months off to traverse SouthEast Asia solo, I cannot emphasize what joy and freedom there is in hitting the open road. The unexpected places you’ll find yourself and the feeling that being foreign makes even the mundane seem beautiful is a mentality I try to carry with me always. Although far-off travel halted after having my kiddos — with a fixer-upper and childcare stalling our finances — we’re finding joy in camping, day trips to the beach, and exploring our yard. But I can’t wait to experience the world with my munchkins.
