Work With Me

My name is Stephanie Patterson, and I’m a multi-talented creative professional with nine years combined experience as a photographer, writer, and marketer.

Creative passion is what drives me, and the greatest satisfaction comes from utilizing that creativity to help others thrive. I work with publications, tourism boards, business owners, brands and individuals, providing a variety of services in the travel and food industries.

Photography

I graduated from The Art Institute of Pittsburgh in 2010 with a Bachelor of Science degree in photography and have been passionately pursuing it ever since. My photography business specializes in food, cocktail, and travel photography.

Professional photography services include, but aren’t limited to:

• Food and drink photography for restaurants and brands
• Illustrative photography for freelance writing assignments (print and digital)
• Destination photography
• Social media and branding
• Photography for images used online (web, blog content)

“What started as a chance encounter (she likes eating tacos and we sell them), has turned into a wonderful business relationship and friendship! Stephanie has an incredible eye for the shot that in no way is going to work (yup, it works beautifully!), and is simultaneously laser focused and easy going – a great combination for a photo shoot. The food photos she shot are stunning, and perfectly reflect the vibe of our restaurants. Well done, Steph – can’t wait to work together again!”
– Janice Dolan, co-owner of Wicked Cantina

I love working with local restaurants and businesses, tourism boards, PR companies, and destination-specific companies and publications, in digital and print media. My boutique-style offerings include a variety of packages combining photography and writing services for clients. I enjoy working one-on-one with clients to create customized packages suiting each business’ unique goals and needs.
