ABOUT BARE

ABOUT BARE

Hi Friends! My Name Is Stephanie.

I’m the founder and lead photographer of BARE. I live in the Philadelphia area with my three cats and lots of plants where you will often find us eating tacos and watching F.R.I.E.N.D.S. [the cat’s don’t eat the tacos, just me. But they do love to watch Ross and Rachel’s love story take 10 full seasons to finally stick!]

big hype girl energy, bigger heart

Over the past 8 years, the direction of my business has evolved, and it has landed me right here. Through meditation, self reflection, listening to my body, and unlearning the societal beliefs that were pushed on me from a young age, there was a lot of work to be done [and honestly, there still is]. It has been a long and hard path, but has been worth it. I am still shedding those old beliefs, shaking off the insecurities and leaning into my true self.

Aligning my beliefs with my business, I am so excited to offer this experience. Ya girl has some big energy; I am here to share and I am here to heal. We are all remarkable human beings, trying to find our purpose. I am extremely passionate about getting people to see that they are deserving to take up space. I’ve created this environment for you to feel safe and I am here every step of the way to help you make it happen. I am here to call you in and support you in your journey toward self love and self acceptance.
