Who am I?

Hello and welcome to Grateful Heart Living! My name is Stephanie, and I am thrilled to share my journey with you.

I was born and raised in Wyoming, where I have experienced the beauty of harsh winters, short summers, and occasional glimpses of spring and fall. Living in such diverse seasons has taught me the importance of gratitude and appreciating the little joys in life. During the cold winter season, I've been known to exceed my monthly coffee budget in no time, finding warmth and comfort in every sip.

 One of the biggest blessings in my life is my Christian faith. I am immensely grateful for my Lord and Savior's grace, which has guided me through both challenging and joyous times.

As a retired portrait photographer, capturing people's stories and emotions has always been a passion of mine. However, these days, I love the freedom of exploring my own photography journey and capturing whatever ignites my heart. The camera is my tool for expressing gratitude, and it allows me to share the beauty I see with the world.

Alongside me on this incredible journey is my loving husband, John. We have been blessed with over 30 years of marriage, and together we have raised and homeschooled two incredible young men. We have watched them marry amazing women, who have stolen my heart, our family continues to grow and flourish. We are currently empty nesters, cherishing the newfound freedom and savoring the adventures it brings.

Recently, we were blessed with a sweet granddaughter, and have enjoyed the arrival of our grandson. Our growing family fills our hearts with indescribable joy, and we are grateful for every precious moment spent with our loved ones.

Join me on Grateful Heart Living as we celebrate life's blessings, learn from each other's experiences, and embrace the journey of gratitude together. Together, let's cultivate a grateful heart and find joy in the present moment.

Thank you for being a part of this wonderful community!
