Emma Claire Stephens
My creative journey began in the equestrian world, where I spent years immersed in high-level dressage competition and discovered a deep love for storytelling through visuals. After graduating Summa Cum Laude with my Bachelor of Science degree from Liberty University, I picked up a camera — and everything changed.
What started as a passion for capturing elegant equine moments quickly grew into a full-blown creative career. I fell in love with the process of crafting intentional content — whether that’s a cinematic video, a bold branding shoot, or a cohesive social campaign that feels both elevated and real.
