I highly recommend Stephen from Giraffe Photography! My son was graduating from Saint Ambrose University and I wanted a mini session of photographs. Since I live 2.5 hours away I did a search on photographers in the area. I took a chance on Giraffe Photography and was beyond happy with the results. We communicated through email, Stephen assured me he would get all the ionic campus photos, and he sure did. He made my son naturally smile in the photos. I was afraid because this sure wasn't my sons thing, a photo shoot on campus. We picked a nice sunny day before graduation. Stephen emailed me the same night with all the pictures!! So happy I did this because the actual day of graduation was cold and raining and we didn't get much outdoor pictures. Defiantly would recommend Giraffe Photography for everlasting memories! read more

I hired Giraffe Photograpy to do my son's senior photos. Stephen was awesome. We knew we wanted some photos on the high school track and some outdoors, Stephen suggest a local park that he knew photographed well. The photos turned out amazing (all 71 of them) we had such a hard time deciding which to have printed. The session included digital copies of all photos, unlimited outfit changes (within our session time of course) we did 3.5 changes (hoodie on/hoodie off). Our son never smiles with his teeth and Stephen was able to get him to do so and look natural!! The digital prints were sent over the same day. The experience and photos were worth every penney. I would not hesitate to use Giraffe Photography again. My sincerest thank you Stephen for creating such beautiful keepsakes. read more

I highly recommend Giraffe Photography. I hired Stephen to shoot family portraits at Vanderveer. Scheduling was super easy and he did it all via text. He was also quick to answer all of my questions prior to the shoot. The shoot happened during a very hot (96 degrees!) day, which did not bode well for the 3-year-old nephew -- but Stephen was clearly experienced working with children, as the toddler was all smiles for the photos. I also couldn't believe how quickly Stephen sent us the link to see our shoot -- his turnaround time was unmatched. And best of all: the images look GREAT. He has a great eye for composition and color. Overall, incredibly satisfied! read more

Outstanding!!! Stephen is the consummate pro at comfort photography. He put me at ease, as this was my first photo shoot for a professional endeavor. He is humorous, yet meticulous in his craft and skillset, adjusting the lighting, taking shots from different angles, and simply bringing out the best features of you, and the end result was astonishing. I highly recommend Stephen and Giraffe Photography. Appreciate you, Stephen, thanks again!!! read more

We will definitely be contacting him soon to do family pictures. Thank you Stephen for capturing such an important time in Xavier's life. read more

Everything about this process of getting married is nerve racking and tedious. Stephan and his wife made the choice of photographers very easy for Kelly and I.

Stephen did a great job taking pictures of our family, as well as a group portrait that included our extended family (a total of 15 people!). We have seven kids, and lots of different personalities, but he interacted so well with everyone - from the crabby toddler to the snarky teen. I highly recommend him for family pictures. read more
