Specializing in vibrant landscapes, long exposures, and storytelling concepts

Stephanie Saldivar Texas landscape and outdoor portrait photographer

Stephanie is a writer, photographer, and director rooted in the breathtaking Texas Hill Country. Her journey was ignited with an ambitious dream: to be published in National Geographic and traverse the United States' diverse landscapes. Though she has yet to see her name in those illustrious pages, her passion for exploration and storytelling grows stronger.

Endlessly inspired by the stunning vistas of her native Texas, Stephanie adventures across the state’s abundant natural regions for new opportunities to take lessons from its rich geographical and cultural histories. First introduced to an introductory photography class at fifteen, she has successfully refined her craft through self-taught practices. Her degree in Sociology from the University of Houston-Downtown has flamed her instinctive curiosity about human and nature interactions and the consequences of losing that connection. Her work is dedicated to reconnecting us with our place in the ecosystem through the visual storytelling of vivid landscapes, serene wildlife, and the movement within long exposures.

Each photograph is full of adventure across the Lone Star State and beyond, capturing the beauty and essence of our natural world. Stephanie shares intimate details of her experiences of what it takes to "get the shot," offering insights into the challenges and triumphs behind each image, enriching her work with deeper meaning and context. Her research training promotes her to comb through details of the Earth’s remote past during her travels, allowing her clients to build a relationship with her work through her fine art prints or partnerships.
