10 YEARS IN BUSINESS…CELEBRATING

A DECADE OF CONNECTION

OUR EXPERIENCES SHAPE US. MY EXPERIENCES HAVE INVOLVED FRIENDS & FAMILY BUT A MAJORITY OF THE TIME… COMPLETE STRANGERS.

I’ve owned my business for a decade and it flew by! From quitting my job in CA to moving away from all things familiar… I bought a camera and set out on a quest to meet new people, learn their stories and share them. I craved connection that I didn’t have growing up. I was done sitting around waiting for it to HAPPEN TO ME. I went after it. Here I am a year later with a thriving business, a collection of stories and I’m realizing I have forgotten about my hobbies. I’m ready to start bringing friends together that I’ve met along the way and MAKE MORE CONENT that involves my forgotten talents and showcasing the talents of the LGBTQ+ community and our allies. I want us to constantly question what makes us the happiest and keep each other in check to make sure we’re living our one damn lives! Thanks for being in this with me. My story is not out of reach and I will continue to remind people of that. You are not alone.

I asked the founder of B&B what kind of atmosphere he hoped to create for people when they visit the store…he said “The goal was to create a feeling of warm sophistication—a welcoming and inspiring space that invites customers to explore. The attention to detail and carefully curated lighting sets the tone for a thoughtful and elevated experience, where every element feels intentional and designed to make customers feel at home while discovering something special.” I have to say that it’s spot on.

So much love for you all. Just a late night reminder. Xo: Steph❤️

I had a conversation w/ a complete stranger the other day at an appointment. I was already uncomfortable from sitting on a too-firm chair, and we started in with the typical small talk about the state of our world, which quickly turned into her sayin

Flashback to 5 years ago: I was on an adventure in Hawaii when I got the news about marriage equality. I remember that was my first time ever getting recognized out somewhere because of my work. I was floored! This couple came up to me in the airport

Hey hey! Time to ask me anything you want. Who knows, maybe I’ll feel wild and answer some questions I usually avoid. Tomorrow I am taking over the @OnlyHuman Instagram account to show you some random behind the scenes from my everyday life. Th

Hey friends. Truth be told... I didn’t learn about Juneteeth until I was in my 20s. Juneteeth is an annual celebration that signifies the day the last enslaved Black Americans heard of their freedom in June 19, 1865. It is also a reminder of th

Just like that... 2 years flew by! It’s funny sometimes how moments pass us by so quickly. We work so hard. Tirelessly. Focusing on tiny things that people may never even notice. But when it comes time to celebrate, we fly through those moments

Let’s love and listen to the stories of our LGBTQ+ seniors. Thankful for @silverprideproject and this happy moment in time that I was able to experience.
