Hi! I’m Stephanie, and I’m a professional Florida-based photographer, editor, and writer. I have 10+ years of combined experience in the photography, writing/editing, and marketing industries.
Utilizing my creative talents as a photographer and writer, I craft compelling visual and written content that supports the growth of businesses and brands in multiple industries.
I graduated from The Art Institute of Pittsburgh in 2010 with a Bachelor of Science degree in photography and have been passionately pursuing it ever since.
My photography and travel writing has since been published in Coastal Living, Tasting Panel Magazine, The SOMM Journal, Where Orlando Magazine, Edible Orlando, Orlando Date Night Guide, and more.
I’ve also worked with countless businesses and brands, including:
- Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants
- Popmenu
- Visit Orlando
- International Drive Business Improvement District
- Wicked Cantina
As former editor of Orlando Date Night Guide, I spent five years photographing and writing about each city’s best eateries, activities, bars and more for locals. This passion for exploring my own backyard expanded to include the entire state of Florida, which was the foundation of my Florida travel blog, Travel Taste Click.
How a trip to Belize spawned my creative career
When I returned home to Central Florida after an unforgettable vacation in Belize in June of 2015, I realized I wanted to create that same feeling of adventure and happiness that is so synonymous with travel, especially international, at home in Florida.
I also came back with the knowledge that something needed to change in my career.
I began trying recipes inspired by meals I had during my travels. Writing about my adventures allowed me to relive each memory. And I printed out my favorite photographs to display at home.
At the end of the year, I left my full time job to follow my dreams and launch a creative business combining my talents for writing and photography.
Shortly after, I made a commitment to start exploring the wealth of natural beauty and activities in my home state of Florida. I started my Florida travel blog, Travel Taste Click, in early 2016 with the goal of sharing my adventures to encourage visitors and locals to journey beyond Florida’s well-known theme parks and beaches.
Through Travel Taste Click, my love for photography and writing continued to grow. In late 2016, I launched a rewarding freelance career combining my creative talents to serve others. And, in the summer of 2018, I celebrated the success of my first solo art show at Orlando Brewing. I’ve since had my travel photography displayed in two more solo art shows in early and late 2020.
