Our Story

We are Tim and Rebecca Chesney. We began dreaming of a space to call our own soon after beginning our photography business. Five years later, we began the process of remodeling a building on 10 acres of beautiful land in south Waxahachie.

We are SO excited to share Stem & Light with you.

With the large windows in our main space, the glass enclosed Greenhouse and large tree-backed field, there will be no shortage of backdrops with perfect lighting for your shoot or event.

The majority of the work at Stem & Light is the product of our own blood, sweat and tears. And, we promise you, lots of love and purpose has been poured into every detail of Stem & Light.

And keep informed of upcoming events by following us on Instagram and Facebook.Β
