About Steph Mazanowski

I’m more than a media strategist—I’m your extra set of eyes, ears, and voice in the community. I’m here to help local businesses grow through creativity, connection, and meaningful collaboration.


I started my career in accounting, working with companies like Kraft Foods, Country Insurance, and Nestlé USA. But after eight years, I realized the corporate life wasn’t for me. In 2009, I took a leap of faith, left my accounting job, and launched MazPix Photography to pursue my passion for visual storytelling.

Soon after, I joined Bella Baby Photography, growing from a freelance newborn photographer to regional manager. Over 6.5 years, I helped expand operations from 1 to 19 hospitals and led a team of 35 photographers.


When that role came to a close, I shifted again—this time into marketing. In partnership with Best Version Media, I am the publisher of Neighbors of Southern Bloomington and North Eastside Neighbors magazines, and have built relationships with hundreds of local businesses along the way.


Today, I’m known as a community connector—someone who brings businesses, people, and ideas together. I love helping brands grow by making warm introductions, creating strategic partnerships, aligning marketing messages across platforms and building visibility where it matters most.


If you're ready to amplify your voice, grow your reach, and build authentic connections—I’m here to help.


Together we grow! Let's Connect.
