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.

what is
and why is it important?
creative direction
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.

how it works
PACKAGE + ADD-ON SELECTION
01
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.
PRE-PRODUCTION & APPROVAL
02
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 day(s)
03
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.
POST-PRODUCTION & DELIVERY
04
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.

HOW IS IT STRUCTURED?
Becky miller, modern foil
I’ve worked with Steph for over a year, and every shoot has been amazing. From creative development to shoot day, the entire process is organized, intentional, and so well planned! It was important to me to find a photographer who could truly bring my brand’s identity to life, and Steph always nails it. She truly has an eye unlike anyone I have ever worked with!
-Emily Frost, frost aesthetics
I’ve had the pleasure of working with Steph for several years, and she consistently goes above and beyond, making each project feel seamless. As someone who isn’t naturally comfortable in front of the camera, I genuinely appreciate how she creates such a welcoming, confident atmosphere. Her creativity shines through in every shoot, and she has an incredible ability to capture the vision perfectly. The quality of her video content is outstanding—she’s truly mastered her craft. Finding someone who fully understands and embodies your brand is rare, and Steph just gets it. I highly recommend her and her fantastic team!
katie mann, curated medical
Stephanie is an unbelievably talented photographer. I hate to even call her a photographer because working with her is more of a full experience. She’s very versatile and customizes the style of the photos to your brand. What really stands out is how involved she is in the preparation of the shoot. She is very organized and helps with ideas, props, shot list, venue, etc. On the day of the shoot, she is always so kind, upbeat and creative. For those of us who aren’t exactly comfortable in front of a camera, she gives great direction and immediately puts you at ease. I can’t imagine working with anyone else!
The mantra: discovering the expansive magic through the bond of strategy and compelling design.
At Gothgloss, we believe in the alchemy of art and strategy- where color, texture, and typography don't just decorate but communicate. We fall in love with every brand we touch, weaving their essence into visuals that feel like stories, not just posts. Fueled by feeling and grounded with intention, our work isn't about chasing trends- it's about creating resonance.
