I dove headfirst into learning everything I could about photography - camera settings, lighting techniques, composition, editing - you name it, I studied it. I bought my first professional camera and lenses, and practiced every day. I took online courses, attended workshops, and reached out to other photographers for guidance and mentorship.
As my skills and reputation as a photographer grew, I began booking more clients and expanding my business. I specialized in maternity portraits, newborn photography, and family portraits capturing cherished moments and creating lasting memories for my clients.
I have found my passion and purpose in capturing life's moments through my lens. Whether it's the laughter of a family playing in a field, the quiet intimacy of a couple in love, or the beauty of a newborn baby's first days, I am honored to be entrusted with documenting these memories. My photography business continues to thrive, and I am constantly inspired by the beauty and magic I am able to capture through my lens.
I am living my dream, doing what I love, and creating art that brings joy to others. Stephanie Ratto Photography is not just a business, but a reflection of my passion and dedication to the art of photography. My journey from small-town girl with a dream to successful photographer has been a challenging but rewarding one. I am grateful for the support of my family, friends, and clients who have believed in me and helped me along the way. I am excited to see where this journey takes me next, as I continue to grow and evolve as a photographer and artist. I always look forward to capturing many more special moments for my clients in the years to come.
