PHOTOGRAPHER . MAMA . WIFE . SEEKER of LIGHT
Hello, I’m Stefanie Childs! Thank you for stopping by my corner of the world…
First and foremost — I’m a cherished wife to Brock, my high-school sweetheart of 24 years, and a PROUD Mama to our 3 amazing children who are my GREATEST accomplishments! Hazel and Emmaline are beautiful twin 11 year old sisters & their charming 13 yr. old big brother is named Rhett. When I’m not behind my professional camera capturing heartfelt client stories, I’m curating memories with my iPhone — capturing the sweet rhythms of homeschooling, the tender unscripted moments of everyday life, and savoring the laughter and quiet wonder of parenting. Together we explore the outdoors, nurture our marriage, play with our beloved 4 Labradors and their adorable puppies through { Heritage Creek Labs }, and take in all the breathtaking beauty God has placed around us here in Indiana.
I’ve always felt like an old soul, drawn to light, emotion, and meaningful connection. Since beginning my photography journey 21 years ago in 2005, I’ve been a devoted visual storyteller of weddings, families, seniors, and personal branding. The honor of being welcomed into clients’ lives is truly a GIFT — to document their genuine love, their milestones, and the beautiful connections that define them — it fills me with boundless joy.
My heart’s purpose is simple: to freeze moments before they drift away, to create timeless images that become cherished heirlooms for future generations. I believe that life’s greatest treasures are often found in the everyday — the soft light of golden hour, the unguarded laugh of a child, the clasped hands of loved ones — I strive to celebrate those tender, fleeting pieces of life in every frame.
On my blog, Facebook and Instagram, you’ll find a balance of joyful wedding days, meaningful family sessions that honor connection, branding imagery for creatives and entrepreneurs, and glimpses into the life of my own family. My hope is that through my work, you’ll recognize the beauty in your own story and pause — even for just a moment — to cherish the blessing of the present season.
I’m grateful to be part of your journey — whether I’m documenting a milestone, a moment of savored emotion, or simply the priceless beauty of today…. XO, Stefanie

GET TO KNOW ME
Just a few of the things that are prominently featured in my life

I'M MOST THANKFUL FOR:
The family that God has blessed me with! My husband of 21 years & our 3 babies are absolutely everything to me. They are the blessing I prayed for my entire life. The 4 of them are my home, where my heart is consistently at peace.

IF I WASN´T A PHOTOGRAPHER..
I’d be savoring my normal everyday life of being a joy-filled homemaker & stay-at-home homeschooling mama. Gardening, teaching & soaking in slow-paced life in the country. Raising & caring for my family has always been my dream job. Photography has simply aligned with those long term goals along the way. What a genuine HONOR to have the title of cherished wife and mother.

MY FAVORITE ACTIVITES:
Laying in our backyard hammock with a good book. Hiking in the woods with my family. Gardening with my girls. Hosting friends around our dinner table while kiddos run wild in the yard. Camping & sitting around a bonfire hearing stories. Hiking with our pups, 4 female Labradors named “Willow, Sage, Violet +. Maple” and raising their puppies through our breeding business { Heritage Creek Labs }. Exploring new places & learning interesting facts with my 3 kids while we homeschool. Going on casual dates with my hubby & dreaming up our future. Rocking on our front porch while listening to music. Serving others in ministry through our church. Reading inspiring books to my kids. Browsing old antique stores finding treasures to bring back to life. Breathing in fresh air & letting my face soak in sunshine. Chatting with dear friends at brunch. Meeting friends at the park on a pretty day. Listening to the fascinating life stories of elderly people we meet. Holding hands with my husband while we sip coffee side by side. Basically anything that feels like the “Old way of life”…

MY FAVORITE FOOD:
Fresh salads, charcuterie boards, warm soups, watermelon, any type of homemade organic baked goods & sourdough pizza! Coffee, tea, smoothies & kombucha are my drinks of choice.
