Her Story
About Tiffany
Tiffany hails from a small town in southern Ohio, where her passion for photography began at just 10 years old after discovering a stash of half-used disposable cameras in her kitchen. That early curiosity blossomed into a lifelong love for capturing life’s moments, leading her to found Acorn & Oak Photography in 2013. What started as a small venture with only a handful of clients quickly grew into a flourishing business, allowing Tiffany to witness and document hundreds of life milestones—from weddings and births to children growing up before her lens. For Tiffany, every click of the shutter is a way to freeze memories, honoring the people and families she works with while creating timeless keepsakes.
Beyond her photography, Tiffany is deeply connected to her family and personal passions. She is married to her soulmate, Steven, and they share their home with five beloved cats: Muffin, Midna, Jinxy, Winnie, and Scraggies. Her daughter, Sydney, continues to inspire her every day with her kindness and heart. Tiffany is also an avid reader, a writer with a completed novel-length manuscript, and a collector of mid-century modern glass. Gardening, coffee, and savoring breakfast foods are small joys she relishes, while her knack for storytelling—sparked by an old typewriter from her mother at age five—infuses every aspect of her creative work.
Tiffany’s life and career reflect a devotion to capturing and celebrating stories in all forms. Whether through her lens, her writing, or the simple act of finding a four-leaf clover, she approaches each day with curiosity, creativity, and a deep appreciation for life’s fleeting moments. Her work is more than photography—it’s a celebration of life, love, and the people who make it extraordinary.
