Wondering how it all actually goes down? Here’s the breakdown – First, we gauge your needs so we can define the scope needed from the GG team. We’ve done the leg work and created a handful of packages for you to choose from #NoAnxietyZone. Next, it’s time to chat the deets in our scheduled pre-production calls, so we can then assemble the team, scout the location, build out your mood, and concept the magic. Flexibility is our jam because real talk - no one likes to feel stuck. Within each project style and within each client scope, we build and mold our ever-evolving relationship.
The mantra: art is chaos taking shape.
In the Gothgloss direction process, we weave together what lives inside you. Your ideas, your storylines, your passions. And we showcase these stories through harnessed, raw, emotion-evoking visuals.
Your brand has a story and you need creative minds to help you bring great visuals to life with a clear message. This is where we come in. Our hardworking powerhouse of creatives help you dream up fresh concepts to help your business thrive and we conceptualize and plan every step of the way.
It’s the ability to infuse life, emotion, and depth into visual storytelling.
While a compelling image can capture a moment in time, the energy behind it can evoke feelings, thoughts, and connections that resonate with the human existence, long after the initial look. Whether it’s the dynamic intensity of a motion blur, or the quiet serenity of a landscape scene, the energy within an image draws people in, igniting their imagination and sparking conversations. It transcends a mere visual and becomes a bridge to shared experiences.

The mantra: taking risks is our MO. Period.
With 7 years behind the camera and over a decade’s worth of harnessed creativity, Steph brings a new approach to branding, editorial, beauty, and product exploration through the lens. She blends a seamless mix of high-key lighting with luxe moodiness that has become the signature ‘Gothgloss edit’.
The mantra: discovering the unexpected magic through different perspectives.
Gothgloss hones in on the forever mentality of taking risks. By maneuvering the lens, tilting the camera, tweaking a product layout, or spilling a liquid, we shapeshift from what was once expected to something out of this world. The big question we ask at the forefront: is how and where will this video fit into the story. This allows us to dive in a bit deeper to ensure the end product speaks for itself.
First things first- when you inquire we send you rate menus to look over so you can get a feel for everything we offer, the scope we cover, and our rates. Once you select a package we move onto phase 2.
Once you’ve selected a package and we’ve agreed on a shoot date, we email you a proposal to approve. Once we receive your approved proposal you’ll be prompted to sign your contract and make your first payment. Your payment plan will always be featured in your online client portal to review. Once that is complete we invite you to our pre-production and correspondence platform where we host all of our communication moving forward.
Shoot days are our favorite! After months of pre-production, our team is ready to help capture your brand’s story. Did you know a large majority of our clients aren’t local to us? No stress if you aren’t local! You ship us what we need and we handle the rest. If shoots are local, we all meet at the designated shoot location and my team is ready to help you with every need. Not every team member is needed for every shoot and we discuss this in pre-production to ensure every member is booked and available for projects based on scope, budget, and needs. Our team is also available for travel.
Based on your booking, your contract will list how many weeks our team needs to professionally and beautifully wrap up your project. We are always very transparent about the editing process and how much time we need to ensure your visuals are perfect. If we can deliver the final deliverables early, great. But we don’t like rushing the creative process. Retouching is a separate fee from our booking and we always communicate a budget before taking this step. All images and videos are delivered to you in a secure online gallery for high-res and web-size downloads.
Our signature Gothgloss memberships are built to help your brand visuals stay consistent and elevated. These memberships guarantee our services a chosen amount of times a year as well as access to our online portal where we do all production, creative direction, and correspondence together.
We offer three different tiers to cater to the different needs of our clients. You choose your scope, budget, and timeline, and the Gothgloss crew brings the magic.

Working with Steph has been such a dream. She and her team work like a well-oiled machine and are incredibly in tune with one another. Steph is very professional, organized, punctual, humble and kind-- an absolute delight to work with. This shoot exceeded my expectations, and I left inspired and excited for our future. She absolutely nailed my vision and brought it to life. I cannot wait for our next session, and honestly cannot recommend working with the Goth Gloss team enough.

I put off brand photos for my business for years. After working with Steph and the Gothgloss team, it was fate that I never hired anyone else. Because no one can top the experience, end results, and straight up VIBES that Gothgloss brings to the table.
Steph and her team took my vision of what I wanted and made it 1,00,000x better than I ever could have dreamed. To say that I'm happy with the end result is an understatement. Steph is talented, her team is undeniably savvy, and aside from just delivering the dreamiest images and video, I straight up wanted to hang out with the entire crew for as long as they'd have me.
If you're thinking of investing in Gothgloss, I'm here to say stop thinking and just do it.
