CHICAGO PHOTOGRAPHER
Meet Stephanie Toland
Welcome! My name is Stephanie and I am an internationally published, award-winning photographer with an absolute passion for portraiture. I love helping people celebrate their personal milestones with beautiful portraits. My favorite kind of session includes me, my camera, and one person who is willing to connect with me to create something special - a visual legacy of this moment in time.
People trust me to capture milestones both big and small. As a maternity photographer, I work with women who are pregnant for the first time, eager to capture this momentous change in their lives. I work with women pregnant for the last time, hoping to capture the closure of a beautiful chapter.
Other women may be celebrating an engagement, anniversary, or fitness milestone. As a female boudoir photographer, I work with them to create beautiful boudoir portraits. I work with women celebrating their bodies, celebrating their relationships, celebrating birthdays, and my favorite of all - simply celebrating themselves.
Whatever milestone you are celebrating, I have created the perfect environment for private sessions designed to bring out your best. With gentle guidance, relaxing music, and easy conversation, I promise I can create timeless works of art that will take your breath away.
On a more personal note, I currently live in Chicago with my husband, two cats and over 50 houseplants. I have a BFA in dance performance from WSU and an MA in Arts Management from Columbia College Chicago and can confidently say I am using BOTH of my arts degrees. My years as a professional dancer heavily influence my current body of work as well as make me an excellent director when it comes to posing!
When I’m not in the studio working with you, I spend my time creating fine art self-portraiture, dancing with the women of Project Bound Dance, and watching movies with my mind reading husband.
