Welcome to the Ardent Photography Blog!


My name is Stephanie Ann Osborne. I am based in the Rocky Mountains but travel all over shooting weddings and taking

portraits. This is where you will see my most recent work as well as what’s happening in my life. My goal is for my clients

to get to know me....whether that is through my pictures or just me sharing with you what is going on in my life.


Thanks for stopping by! And if you like what you see leave a comment (us photographers thrive on feedback).

365 Update

For those of you who have been following it I know I am failing miserably lol. For those of you who don't even know what it is that just proves my point jk. My 365 is a project in which I attempt to take a photo every single day. This keeps my camera in my hands, my skills sharp and thus keeps Stephanie a happy girl. I haven't posted since picture 35 so here is your recap. Just a note these photos are also for sale and all proceeds go to charity. My current cause is Breast Cancer Awarness.... please email for more info.


36/365 ~ "He was my cream, and I was his coffee - And when you poured us together, it was something." - Josephine Baker
Spent lunch with my husband today which was an unexpected treat.




37/365 ~ "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." - Confucius
I've become addicted to running. These are quite possibly the most comfortable shoes I've ever owned.





38/365 ~ “A beautiful sunset that was mistaken for a dawn.” - Claude Debussey
Keep in mind I am not a sunset photographer, not even close. This was our Laramie sunset for tonight, isn't it gorgeous?





39/365 ~ "We are indeed much more than what we eat, but what we eat can nevertheless help us to be much more than what we are. " - Adelle Davis
Just finished a run, looking foward to breakfast...




40/365 ~ “The silence often of pure innocence persuades when speaking fails.” - William Shakespeare
Introducing T-I-G-E-R...




41/365 ~ Honeycombkeh



42/365 ~ Is it possible to measure happiness?




43/365 ~ “In our life there is a single color, as on an artist's palette, which provides the meaning of life and art. It is the color of love.” - Marc Chagall
This reminds me of a grapefruit, so secular and bright




44/365 ~ "When you possess light within, you see it externally." - Anaïs Nin
Put the tree up today and couldn't resist...




45/365 ~ "I have measured out my life with coffee spoons." - T.S. Eliot
Yes my name is Stephanie and I have a problem...




46/365 ~ “If you are cold at night, let the promise of my love cover you like a warm blanket” - Matthew White
Snowy day in Laramie, lunched with my husband's cheesy tortilla soup to keep warm...




47/365 ~ “Truth is a fruit which should not be plucked until it is ripe.” - Voltaire
Kiwi fruit used for a dessert tonight...




48/365 ~ “Simplicity and repose are the qualities that measure the true value of any work of art.” - Frank Lloyd Wright
Processed with Cinnamon Rose Actions... these little suckers were just to delicious not to photograph. Explored Dec 7, 2008 #424!




49/365 ~ "These are a few of my favorite things"
Presents, special red holiday Starbucks and ofcourse Bokeh...




50/365 ~ “Let's be naughty and save Santa the trip.” Gary Allen



51/365 ~ “The face is the mirror of the mind, and eyes without speaking confess the secrets of the heart.” - St Jerome
DHB in the mirror at my last reception. I just couldn't resist all the lights. Blurred due to hurrying to get it before the b&g arrived...




52/365 ~ “Technology is a way of organizing the universe so that man doesn't have to experience it” - Max Frisch
One of my perfect Christmas presents from my perfect husband. I now have the perfect running playlist, can stream the [b] school blog podcasts without being annoying and best of all I got Nike+ from my newphew to go with it. Basically I place the sensor in my shoe and connect the remote to my ipod. It tracks all my run info, time, distance, calories, pace etc... stores it for future reference and uploads it all to nikeplus.com. Isn't technology fun?




53/365 ~ “Opportunity knocks for every man, but you have to give a woman a ring.” - Mae West
Same texture as my previous photo... Its funny my husband asked me "Are you going to take every photo on top of your laptop?" These are our wedding rings. Practicing on my manual focusing.





54/365 ~ "First say to yourself what you would be; and then do what you have to do. " - Epictetus



55/365 ~ "Happiness is an expression of the soul in considered actions.” - Aristotle
Taken on photo safari downtown. Its funny Amy and I were laughing because we are too old to know what it means. I would guess maybe Lollipop?




56/365 ~ “People so seldom say I love you And then it's either too late or love goes. So when I tell you I love you, It doesn't mean I know you'll never go, Only that I wish you didn't have to.”
This poster was plastered to an abandoned building. I thought it was so interesting... Wonder what it originally was for.




57/365 ~ “Life has taught us that love does not consist in gazing at each other, but in looking outward together in the same direction” - Antoine de Saint-Exupery
This fence lines a sanctuary downtown and is adjacent to the most beautiful rich red wall...




58/365 ~ “I would believe only in a God that knows how to Dance.” - Friedrich Nietzsche
The dance studio I attend has these fabulous old ballet slippers hanging from the ceiling. The studio was closed at the time of my photo safari but I managed to capture this through the window.
