We had the good fortune of connecting with Stepenie Barrett and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Stepenie, why did you pursue a creative career?
I love the feeling I get when I look through the lens and see what may not be artistically appreciated through the naked eye. Capturing the fleeting moments that may go unnoticed or may be missed if not photographed. Imagine your first dance at your wedding, for example. When dancing, you may not see what I captured in the background- your grandparents tearing up for example.

Those moments matter to me. Not to mention the artistic freedom I have when I am in control of my camera. You learn to appreciate the imperfections in the world- the shadows, the beautiful chaos. All while capturing memories for clients.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
I aim to capture the moments in between poses- those moments create the most beautiful images that spark emotions.

I want my work to look timeless, romantic, and evoke awe from my audience and clients.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
Piedmont Park is a MUST – how relaxing and beautiful! I love Ponce City Market – there are so many fun things to do there!
The Swan House – the most beautiful building around!

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
All glory goes to God – along with my husband and children. They are the reason I do what I do. I want them to know they can succeed artistically.

Sierra Hayes (my business partner) has been amazing with building our brand and making us who we are today.
