The definition of beauty has been the foundation for Stephanie Gilmore Photography since its establishment in 2002. Through unique styling and a commitment to artistic excellence, this high-end studio has made its mark in the Tri-State area of Kentucky, West Virginia, and Ohio. Recognized for fine art portraits of distinction, Stephanie specializes in babies, children, families, and seniors. Stephanie’s photographic style relies on the relationships she builds with her clients. Her friendly and playful rapport leads to a relaxed environment in which subtle expressions and playful attitudes clearly reveal the beauty and spirit of her subjects.

A nationally renowned award-winning portrait photographer, Stephanie is located in central Kentucky.  In addition to running a successful fine art portrait studio for two decades, she has lectured at photography conferences all over the country.  She’s been published in many national magazines and was also a featured photographer in the book Creative Techniques for Photographing Children.  Stephanie holds her Master Photographer and Craftsman degrees through the Professional Photographers of America.

Originally from Ashland, Kentucky, she moved to Lexington in 2021 to be closer to her adult daughters, Carlyle and Annabelle. Besides family and photography, she loves live music, bird watching, nurturing her houseplant collection, and her twelve-year-old mini goldendoodle, Betsey.
