About the Artist

Originally from Gloucester, Massachusetts, Stephanie Hellmann also lived in the White Mountains of New Hampshire and along Lake Winnipesaukee - always with a camera. She began learning the craft and practicing the art of photography in 1980 with her first 35mm camera. Moving to Madison in 1983, Stephanie and Dan Hellmann opened their computer business, Clones Plus, in 1986. She graduated from IUS in 1994 with a BA in English and started her photography business Nice Shots! in 1998.  

Stephanie’s first professional pieces were photo note cards, and as requests came in for other work, she began photographing weddings and families. In 2001 Stephanie was awarded her Master of Liberal Studies Degree, integrating her photography into coursework whenever possible. Stephanie is proud to be a member of the  Professional Photographers of America (PPA).

Stephanie is an involved member of the Madison/Jefferson County community. She began insisting on a city-wide recycling program in 1989, and has been the County Coordinator for ORSANCO's Annual Ohio River Sweep since 1989.  She has been involved with theater in some fashion since 1972, and is currently an active board member of Spectrum Productions of Jefferson County.

Now working with digital cameras, Stephanie continues to produce fine art prints of the beauty surrounding us, as well as capturing memories of special people and special events.  She believes it is not the camera that counts, but who is behind - and in front - of it!  Stephanie has two grandsons who have been her models - and her inspiration - for the past 17 years.

Stop by and visit Stephanie and admire her work next time you’re in Madison, Indiana!
