Drawn together by storytelling, genuine connection, and a serious distaste for stiff, posed, “say cheese” photography, we created Philter to capture people honestly — warm, alive, and fully themselves. We get to know you first, because great photography isn’t something we do to you, it’s something we create with you. We don’t want to be a fly on the wall — we want to be right there in it with you.

... and counting

... and ticking

Meet Steph — yes, she was a Conehead once, and honestly, that weird and wonderful energy never left. Dynamic, down-to-earth, and the kind of creative collaborator who makes every idea feel achievable, she brings passion and a can-do spirit to every session she touches. You'll feel like you've known her forever before you've even nailed down a date. Whether it's your wedding day, your brand's first big shoot, or a boudoir session you've been dreaming of — you're in very capable hands.

THE VISIONARY

STEPHANIE

ahead of her time. literally.

ERIN

Meet Erin — yes, she once made "professional clown" look like a legit career path, and that same fearless, larger-than-life energy is still very much intact. She's the force behind every frame, the one who turns pre-shoot nerves into full-on laughter before you even know what happened. Equal parts hype girl and creative powerhouse, Erin brings endless enthusiasm, genuine warmth, and a contagious sense of fun to every single session. Whether she's capturing your wedding day or a chaotic, perfectly imperfect family moment — if you leave feeling like a superstar, that's very much on purpose.

THE MOTIVATOR

BIG CLOWN ENERGY
SINCE THE JUMPOFF

We're not here to pose you next to a brick wall and call it a day. We're here for the real stuff — the nervous laughs, the happy tears, the in-between moments that somehow say everything. Connection first, camera second. Always.

VICKY + VICTORIA

We 10000000% recommend Philter to anyone. We wish we were getting married again so we could rehire Erin!

LINDSAY, SHOP OWNER + DESIGNER

Collaborative, creative, and always on point. And did I mention they're a blast to work with as well?!

THE CORTNEY FAMILY

Erin knows how to capture moments when you don’t even know she’s doing it. I can’t imagine anyone else taking our family pictures every year.
