Photography By Stel
Hi, my name is Stella Hoepner!
I'm a Castle Rock, CO based photographer with 3-years of experience capturing portraits, equine, and events. I'm all about having a relaxed, fun experience and photos that feel real.
My passion for photography began the summer before 7th grade on a hike, I asked my brother for his camera and it clicked immediately. What started as just a click of a camera I have spent my life dedicating myself to growing my business. I now specialize in almost all my dream types of photography!
My goal is to turn my passion into a full-time career, specializing in western lifestyle photography. I love the western way of life and hope to build a future that revolves around it's beauty and spirit. I'm excited to keep growing and share my passion through my work. I also plan on getting a degree in marketing with a minor in international business. Language and marketing is what I've loved to do since I can remember and I hope for it to become a key part of my life!

We had the best experience working with Stella from Photos By Stel! She made my boyfriend and me feel so comfortable in front of the camera, which made all the difference. Stella has the natural gift for bring out real smiles and capturing genuine moments. We were laughing and having fun the entire time, and it truly shows in the photos. Her direction was easy going and encouraging, and the final shots are something we'll treasure forever. Highly recommend her if you're looking for someone who makes the whole process feel effortless and fun!
