Story-driven photography capturing real moments, real movement, and the heart of West Virginia.

Hi, I’m Stephanie — the photographer, storyteller, and creative force behind Hurricane Media.


What started as a passion for capturing moments has grown into a brand trusted across West Virginia. Over the past two years, Hurricane Media has covered state-level sports tournaments, documented a full high school soccer season, photographed one of the largest music festivals in Appalachia — Healing Appalachia, and worked with incredible high school seniors in some of the most beautiful corners of the Mountain State.


I’m a visual storyteller drawn to emotion, movement, and moments that don’t repeat themselves. You’ll find me on sidelines, courtside, backstage, creek-side, and everywhere in between — chasing images that feel just as powerful as they look.


My approach is simple:


No stiff poses. No forced smiles. No cookie-cutter sessions.


I specialize in bold, true-to-you photography for high school seniors, athletes, sports programs, and live events — capturing people in their element, doing what they love. My work is rooted in real connection, natural light, and intentional storytelling.


Hurricane Media is built for those who value energy, authenticity, and memories that last.


Let’s create something meaningful — and unforgettable.

How I Capture the Magic

I don’t believe in stiff poses or fake smiles. My approach is all about capturing you in your element — whether that’s celebrating your senior year, chasing a goal on the field, or soaking in a once-in-a-lifetime moment.


I’ll guide you when you need it, but the real magic happens when you’re just being you. I work fast, shoot with heart, and edit with intention to create images that feel bold, honest, and unforgettable.


Every session is different, because every story is different — and that’s exactly the way I like it.

All relationships are based on trust & common values

I believe we should vibe before we shoot. We’ll chat first — no contracts, no pressure — just a chance to make sure we’re a good fit creatively and personally.
