Ambassador of the Month - Ada Stevens

Ada Stevens, a native of Cuba, grew up in Miami, FL. After meeting her husband, Doug in 2004, she fell in love with photography and founded her company, SnapHappy Photos in 2007 in Miami. He joined her full time in 2012. She ran her business through challenging economic times, always maintaining a positive CAN DO attitude and staying true to the company motto: Totally FOCUSED on you!

They decided to leave Miami in 2018, to be close to Ella, Ada’s granddaughter. It was one of the BEST decisions they could have made and have been loving life in this beautiful state ever since. Starting over, they decided to focus on face to face networking and immersed themselves fully in the community. They joined several networking organizations, and have photographed hundreds of events, including corporate multi-day conferences. These past few years, they added Real Estate, Architecture and Product photography, which are Doug’s specialties. Between them they have 3 daughters (Ada’s) and two sons (Doug’s) and 3 grandchildren plus their precious Abby, a rescue hound mix, who joined the family last September.
