In other words, “unapologetically sentimental” is a badge of honor we wear with pride. See also: “hopeless romantic.”

Delight in the little details. Embrace affection. Lean into your tender heart. Take nothing for granted. Leave a legacy.

Around here, our philosophy is simple:

Still here? This is the beginning
of a beautiful friendship.
(Here’s hoping you’re getting good vibes, too.)

The friendships you share, the love you cultivate, and the relationships you nurture are worth more than anything money could buy.

You’ll choose true and timeless over trendy every time.

The devil’s in the details, and you’re determined to get it right every time.

You’re no stranger to beauty. You love clean lines, soft colors, and impeccable design, but not at the cost of what’s real. Every day you work to find the balance between aesthetics and authenticity, style and sensibility.

There’s magic in sacred moments with family, your dear friends, and the ones you love most.

Seeing as you’re here, you probably have a similar way of seeing the world. Here’s what else we have in common:

Meet the faces behind Stormy Peterson Photography

Whether it's grandparents, brothers, fur babies, or anyone in between, their memories will live on through photography.

Eventually, we’ll all know loss. As time passes, grief changes, but it never leaves us. Like the tide, it ebbs and flows–crashing upon the rocks or shimmering under a clear sky–but it’s always there. In constant motion, grief transforms, swells, and subsides, but photographs only grow in value over time. 

The value of portraiture is simple: Long after their subjects are gone, pictures remain.

At twelve years old, the unexpected passing of Stormy’s brother rocked her family to the core. Even as a child, Stormy was already taking stock of the moments with him she’d never have: She’d never get to hear her brother’s voice calling to her from across the house. She’d never get to dance with him on her wedding day. She’d never get to see him fall in love. In the absence of her brother, Stormy has only a few photographs of him–each more precious than the last. In the years since his passing, Stormy has kept these photos close to her heart.
