I'm Steve, owner of Yours Truly Photography.  I was born in Falls Church, Virginia and spent my earliest years in Woodbridge.  My family moved to Easton, Pennsylvania, which I consider my hometown - a medium sized city north of Philadelphia.  I attended Penn State Berks Campus in Reading, Pennsylvania as well as Antonelli Institute of Art & Photography- an intense photography school just outside Philadelphia.  After graduation, I married my high school sweetheart, Rachel, and moved to Pittsburgh.  Here, I worked with several different photographers, but spent most of my time with a studio called Dream Photography in Penn Hills.  It was in Pittsburgh that we created the name Yours Truly Photography on the porch of our tiny apartment.  In 2006 we made the decision to move to Virginia for warmer weather and a life on the water.  Yours Truly Photography was officially established 2007

Since then it's been a fantastic journey.  We've grown and expanded in so many ways.  What I enjoy most about my job is the many interesting people I have had the opportunity to meet and the relationships that have developed with our clients.

Without these talented professionals willing to teach, encourage and mentor, I would not be in the place I am today.

Randy Davis, CPP, M.Photog.Cr. - Antonelli Institute • Andrew Simcox - Antonelli Institute • Robert Golding, M.Photog.Cr., F-ASP - Antonelli Institute (d. 2011) • Bob Amunsen - Country Camera Studio - East Stroudsburg, PA • Bob Penchick, CPP - Penchick Photography, Bethlehem, PA • Michael Pirollo - Dream Photography, Penn Hills, PA

Here's a few things about me…
• I love photography, but not nearly as much as my wife and our four amazing boys.
• I can play piano, trombone, ukulele and a mean jawharp
• Our studio has over 350 antique cameras on display.
• I am a roller coaster guy - classic wooden coasters being my favorite. Best ride? The Phoenix at Knoebels.
• I've been involved with the Scouts BSA since first joining in 1988. An Eagle Scout of Troop 29, Easton, PA
• I enjoy cycling, and bike repair.
• All time favorite movie - The Goonies - I can recite every word.

It’s okay, you’ll be fine
