BESTOFMP.COM www.BestOfMP.com | www.BestOfMP.Video | www.BestOfMPpodcast.com Worth a thousand words Stephanie Selby Photography Stephanie Selby’s photography studio is here to represent the modern woman, her branding and her family. Each portrait represents a client’s goals and values and it’s her job to make sure their vision springs to life without the use of words while empowering women in their own bodies. Through every consultation, styling service and personalized experience, Selby ensures each shoot is a one-of-a-kind celebration of the client’s individuality. The entire process is tailor-made for each client, starting with the initial consultation. The journey starts with a meaningful conversation to connect with the woman behind the camera, whether that’s understanding her personal brand, her vision for the photos or just getting a feel for her style and personality. After the locations are picked, the photoshoot commences, and alongside a brand image, Selby hopes it becomes a transformative experience for many women to find their voice and confidence. From expert hair and makeup to selecting the ideal location, whether it’s the comfort of one’s own home, a picturesque beach or the vibrant scenery of downtown Charleston, Selby ensures every detail is flawless. Rather than stress about the details, it becomes an experience to pamper women and celebrate their individuality. Family or boudoir sessions are generally add-ons to go alongside their branding sessions, ensuring clients can achieve the most out of their time. Selby also offers shoots for high school seniors, celebrating a milestone that allows seniors to express their creativity and boost their confidence as they embark on the next stage of their lives. Once the photo shoot is complete, the magic continues with a selection of images, each one carefully retouched to perfection. With a fine-tuned focus on authenticity, Selby’s goal is to make sure every photo looks magazine-ready. The most important goal is ensuring every shoot has captured the story of every single woman and their brand, family and lifestyle in images they can be proud of. All of this effort to create a transformative experience has earned her a spot as one of the Best Family Photographers and Portrait Photographers. Selby’s passion and the work she put into growing her studio has paid off in the trust and connections she has built with her clients. Watching women find themselves in these shoots, and knowing so many people put their trust in her only inspires her further to reach new heights with her photography. Selby is looking to expand her studio further by breaking into the boudoir scene to create a safe environment for women to explore their beauty and sensuality. These experiences are more than just a photoshoot, and she hopes this opportunity allows women to shed themselves of their self-doubt and embrace all that makes them beautiful. At the heart of Selby’s work is a simple, yet powerful goal: to help women embrace their inner strength and to create photos that make them feel empowered. It’s about celebrating the incredible women who trust her to capture their stories and building confidence with every image. For more information, visit stephanieselbyphotography.com.
