Building a life (and brands) people want to step into
Lifestyle storytelling, creative direction, and long-term brand partnerships, based in New Zealand, creating worldwide.
A slower morning.
Salt on your skin.
Coffee still warm in your hands.
The kind of days that aren’t rushed, just lived.
Where the ocean sets the pace,
and everything else falls into place.
This is the space in between,
where life happens, and stories begin.

My Approach
I don’t just create content, I build stories people want to step into.
Every shoot, campaign, and piece of content is rooted in real moments, natural environments, and a feeling you can’t fake. It’s about capturing something that resonates, that holds attention, and that people actually connect with.
I work closely with brands to understand not just what they do, but how they want to be experienced, translating that into content that feels effortless, elevated, and aligned.
I also partner with a small number of brands long-term, integrating them into the lifestyle and stories I share.
Slowly Golden
A curated extension of the life I live.
Slowly Golden is a collection of the pieces, places, and rituals that shape my everyday.
From what I wear to what I use, everything inside the store is chosen slowly, designed to feel like part of the life I share.
It’s not just a shop. It’s a continuation of the world you’ve just stepped into.

A layered approach to home and lifestyle storytelling, capturing the feeling of slow mornings, lived-in spaces, and the rituals that make a house feel like home.
"As a photographer who has worked with Stephanie across a couple of projects, I've had the chance to really see what makes her so special. She has such a natural way of connecting with people and instantly makes everyone feel comfortable and relaxed around her. What stands out most to me is how genuine she is. Stephanie is an incredible storyteller and everything she creates feels warm, intentional and real. You can see the heart behind Slowly Golden and the way she brings ideas, people and stories together so effortlessly. She's an absolute pleasure to collaborate with and someone who leaves a lasting impression on everyone she works with."
