Travel Photographer

It is so refreshing to see smiles on your clients' faces. Trying to make them laugh, being with them on the most beautiful day of their life, surrounded by love... What is more precious than waking up every morning and realizing that you are going to actually "work" by immortalizing special moments?

hello!  I am Stephanie...  a Southern California girl, a blessed wife, a lucky mama to a beautiful baby girl, a dreamer, a creator, and a photographer.

Being a daughter to a single mother taught me at a very young age, to work hard for what you want and to never stop dreaming. I picked up my first camera at the age of 8. I would run around the house telling my family to smile. High school is where I really started to see that I had a future in photography.

Hey, friends! I'm an occupational therapy student specializing in pediatrics who also is a photographer. I'm a traveling photographer based in Saint Paul, Minnesota and my mission as a photographer has been to photograph with intention. I want to inspire and empower humanity through people, love, and photo essays. Capturing colors, cultures, hopes, and dreams, all further deepen my passion for what I do. I am a photojournalist; there is a unique sense of wonder when documenting and telling a story with photos.

I remember the day I bought my first DSLR camera. My mom drove me to the local camera store, where little 14 year old me handed the salesmen $800 worth of babysitting and carwash money in exchange for a shiny, new Pentax KR with a kit lens. At the time, I wanted to be a high school science teacher when I grew up, telling myself that photography was fun and all, but could never be a “real” job.

Welcome Friends!

Let me begin by introducing myself. My name is Krista Davenport and I am an internationally published photographer.  I graduated with my BFA in digital media/photography from the University of Houston. Over the years, my un-categorized works have been displayed in several galleries and exhibitions throughout the Houston area as well as several prestigious venues nationwide. My visual style changes when the wind blows. I am always trying to go above and beyond with landscape and composition, especially with my travel/commercial photography. I am focused on shadows, highlights, lines, and leading the eye around the image.

Photography has always been a huge part of my life. I was always fascinated with the camera. I'm a bit of a nostalgia nut and will currently spend my spare time looking through old photographs or these days pictures on Facebook. Life is so short and the days come and go so quick that the only thing tangible we have from our memories are photographs. It was when my son was born that I began to really express interest in the technical side of photography. I documented his milestones with the camera and became more and more interested in perfecting each photo.

Being a "creative" by nature I loved the editing part of the journey. I took as many classes and workshops as I could. As a former teacher, I love working with families and children so naturally I was drawn to having them as my subjects. I always loved the detail and the photojournalism behind crafting the perfect wedding photographs.

In 2012 I was given an amazing

Every artist has their muse. A source of inspiration for their creative work.

For me, it's travel & architecture

Hi, my name is Mariam Saifan and I do unique portrait and wedding photography in the Kansas City area. I have a passion for capturing happiness and people in love! My photography business was established after I went on a trip to Istanbul and shared some images on social media. From there, it was all magic!

With my background in architectural engineering with an emphasis in lighting design, my passion for photography was created. These two aspects of my life are both creative and result in something beautiful and memorable. I love challenging my creativity!

I specialize in contemporary style photography with a photojournalistic touch that captures the natural beauty in my clients. I love anything that's colorful and fun, which is why I especially love to photograph Indian or Desi style weddings.

Getting to know my clients is essential before portrait sessions
