As a
graphic Design Student in the early 90's, Stephanie learned her way
around a darkroom. It wasn't until her second daughter was born in
2001 that she even dreamed about becoming a photographer. The instant
gratification that digital photography provided combined with her
desire to capture beautiful images of her own children were her most
influential catalysts.
Stephanie's first studio was in a spare bedroom in her home. A year later, she transferred to the detached garage. In the summer of 2004, Stephanie Clark Photography relocated to the Mayo Mansion in Ashland, Kentucky's Historic downtown district. The 17,000 square foot mansion was built in 1917 and has been placed on the National Register of Historic Places. The entire first floor is dedicated to the studio. Stephanie lives with her husband and two daughters on the second and third floors. Stephanie has since won many awards including most recently Kentucky Photographer of the Year for 2007.

Stephanie's
unique style is based in her fine art background mixed with her
whimsical appreciation for life. While studying art in both Europe and
the states she has created her own unique look. This is why she is now
in demand, not only as a photographer, but also as a speaker sharing
with other photographers her distinct vision. Stephanie blends her
refined classic look with her over the top whimsy with ease. This
combination has won Stephanie several awards, yet Stephanie still
considers her reward is sharing in her client's lives. Stephanie
credits her talent to God and her education to the University of the
Pacific.

Heather Kallhoff describes herself as “pretty low key”. However, you’ll find this multiple national award winner anything but ordinary in her style and creativity.
After a 13-year career in education, Heather left that to pursue a career in an area that she not only taught, but continues to love. Yet her creativity behind the camera may possibly be surpassed only by her savvy in front of the computer. She has traveled extensively educating other photographers in the areas of creativity and Photoshop.
Heather’s storytelling approach to wedding and portrait photography has earned her Photographer of the Year awards, Fuji’s and Kodak’s across the Northern Light Region, as well as in the National and International arenas. Her work has been featured in the national Professional Photographers of America magazine, as well as the Kansas City Weddings Magazine.
Her attitude is refreshingly humble, preferring to shun the limelight in favor of “just doing what I enjoy.” What she enjoys is creating moving images that tell a story.
