About Us
We are a husband and a wife that share a passion to creative! We capture any and every special moment whether it be a surprise proposal a sweet sixteen, a wedding and more! Our goal is to bring you back to the most important and enjoyable moments of your life by looking back in our art. Not only are we known for our passion to creative, but also for giving back. We started our dream nonprofit organization, Traveling Thrift in November 2018.
We travel around the world (26 + countries) in hopes of shedding light on social injustices, economic issues, and under resources communities. While traveling, we purchase hand-made goods from the locals, and sell them here in the US. 25% of our proceeds are returned directly to the cause in need.
Joel took one look into his lens and fell in love with the girl of his dreams. Well... that’s how Stepphany likes to tell the story. The beginning of our relationship was a bit of a surreal fog... fast forward and we’ve lost track of how long we’ve been on this journey! We tied the knot two years ago and have been living on the clouds ever since. We hope our story continues to inspire others as we pursue our dreams to the fullest. Thank you for all of your support!
Our greatest desire is to share the good news of hope with the people of Latin America, our hearts cry out for the indigenous tribes, and we are now excited to be heading to Ecuador.
One of our main focuses will be using our skills in photography, we aim to tell the stories of the children and bring attention to their needs, while also training local teachers in the transformative power of ART Therapy.
Though we will be stationed in Ecuador, we will serve throughout Latin America. We also plan to run kids/youth outreaches in the Sierra Mountains and in the Amazons of this beautiful country within the indigenous communities. Let's reach Ecuador!
