We Believe

Christine & Stephanie of Vivid & Brave

We’re Christine and Stephanie. Best friends. Photographers. Universe-denters. Moms. Writers.

We believe in the importance of telling your stories, even the ugly ones. You deserve to be heard.

Stephanie will always eat food off of other people’s plates. Even on first dates. Especially on first dates.

We believe you are a force to be reckoned with.

Christine has to have her toenails painted, year round – but it only happens if she pays someone else to do it for her.

We believe in the power of surrounding yourself with other smart, powerful women.

Favorite or favourite? We think we’re both right.

We believe that all the clarity you are seeking is already inside of you.

Stephanie is a lip gloss junkie. If you take her to Sephora, be ready to steer her away from the Glossy Gloss.

We believe in being unapologetic about who you are and what you stand for.

Christine needs someone to ration out her gluten free Oreos, so she won’t eat the whole bag.

We believe you are more than the sum of the roles you fill. Define your life by who you are, not what you do.

We’re grateful for apps that convert temperature from fahrenheit to celsius and back again. We know there’s a math equation for that. Apps are easier.

We’re both hopelessly addicted to Facebook.

We believe you are enough.

We believe you are vivid.

We believe you are brave.


The creation of Vivid & Brave involved countless post it notes, posters that wouldn’t stick to the wall, a lot of caffeine, a boudoir session, red lipstick, endless late night hours where Stephanie passed out early and Christine stayed up, curse words, a lot of curse words, uncontrollable giggling, and maybe a few times where we had to go to our respective corners and take a deep breath. We’re so excited to bring it to you. We can’t wait to hear your voice.
