Steph has a natural talent in photography. We had a good experience working with Steph for our 1 year old daughter and the captures are worth it. Her dedication to capturing candid is so unique and her friendly words made our daughter feel so comfortable. I would definitely recommend Steph for her genius work. Thanks Steph read more

Steph C Photography - Cake Smash - Session Photography Near Me

After experiencing two very stressful newborn photo shoots for my son with two different photographers, I was incredibly nervous to book another photography session for his six month photos. However, after finding Steph on Instagram through hashtags, I reached out to inquire about a six month photo shoot a month and a half to two months prior to him turning six months old. Steph made this experience from start to finish easy and incredibly awesome. She answered my initial email within hours. I love a prompt, responsive business owner. We were able to setup and get a date on the books within a couple of emails. The week before, I realized that our late afternoon session could go incredibly wrong because my son gets a little more fussy in the afternoons. I emailed and asked Steph if we could do a mid-morning shoot instead, and she obliged. Steph encouraged me to get a few shots with my son. I was incredibly hesitant because a) I generally hate how I look in photos and b) I'm still incredibly self-conscious with my body post-baby. The night before the shoot I was feeling like I should avoid photos of myself, but I took a dress with me just in case. On the day of the shoot, Steph was prompt, professional, and FUN. My son smiled around her, she was able to make him smile, she had cute outfits picked out, and most importantly she got me to take some photos with my son. Steph spent nearly two hours with us, and honestly, the shoot just flew by. I got sneak peek photos by the end of the day. Prior to booking I requested to have my photos before my son turned six months, and Step met that deadline with flying colors. I live on the Peninsula about an hour away from Steph, but I'd drive back in a heartbeat. I can't wait to have Steph shoot my son's 12-month photos. Thank you, Steph! read more

Steph is amazing and patient! She has a great set up for newborn and family photos! She took her time with our newborn Chloe and even when she was fussy, she knew how to calm her down. She made this experience so worthwhile for us first time parents and we will definitely be reaching out again for more family photos! Thanks again Steph, you're the best! read more

We have had the best experience with Steph as she photographed our maternity and newborn shoot. Her work is incredible -- I knew this from looking at her gallery, but it was something else to see how she captured this special time in our life. The photos are beautiful and something we will treasure. Steph was so invested and passionate about our work that our sessions often went over the time we had contracted for. I really appreciated how patient and encouraging she was throughout the session. In other photography sessions, I have felt rushed by the photographer, but never with Steph. She was always so supportive and encouraging. Grandparents were in town for the newborn shoot and they were so impressed with Steph they kept asking me "where did you find her" and kept remarking on how great she was. I wish I had more time to write all the details about how great this experience was, but the bottom line is that I recommend Steph fully!! read more

We chose Steph to capture our newborn photos and we couldn't have made a better choice! She was very communicative throughout the process from booking to preparing for the shoot. She was so professional and easy going. Steph was understanding of the difficulties of being a new parent as a mother herself. She took so many shots to capture this unique moment in time for our family and was willing to take as much time as our baby would allow. She also has a wardrobe for mother's to wear during the shoot. It took the stress of trying to plan an outfit off my plate and the dresses she has are beautiful! Steph sent over sneak peaks the day after our photoshoot and our entire portfolio was ready in about one week. The photos were absolutely stunning! We will definitely use her in the future to capture other milestones in our family! read more

This review is long overdue. We are so thankful for finding Steph to capture our maternity and newborn photos. She was incredible to work with and has so much patience and attention to detail - she's the sweetest too. Steph came very prepared to our outdoor maternity session and prepped us prior to our session. We loved how the photos turned out natural, bright and airy. She made us feel so comfortable posing us during our session. You can tell she is very passionate about her work. She was quick to share sneak peaks and the full album. We were even more in awe of her patience during our newborn session in her studio. You can tell how much she loves babies. Steph's work is incredible! We can't wait to plan more family sessions with her in the future. Thank you Steph for everything! We love our photos and will cherish them forever! read more

2022: Steph is incredibly sweet and talented. She was able to capture beautiful images of our baby for his 1st birthday that reflect his big personality! The photos of our family that she took are images we will cherish for years to come. We had such a wonderful experience and highly recommend Steph to all Bay Area families! 2023 Update: Steph just shot Fall family photos for us and we feel so lucky for the opportunity to work with her again! She truly has a gift for capturing a child's spirit. Steph created more memories for our family that we will enjoy and fondly look back on when our boys are all grown up. We can't wait to work with her for our second baby's cake smash session :) read more

Steph C Photography - Session Photography Near Me

Steph is truly amazing and I highly recommend her to anyone who needs newborn photos. (She brought me back to Yelp after a super long hiatus after all) She is not only a great photographer and editor but is super personable. Bonus, she has the clearest and most soothing voice. I was in the market for swaddled newborn photos prior to giving birth (they are just so darn cute and funny!) and when I went into labor early, she accommodated and had my baby photographed at 10 days. She went above and beyond to schedule me at my earliest convenience instead of hers. During the photo shoot , my normally sleepy baby was wide awake and Steph worked her magic to get all the shots for the baby, me, and my husband. I don't know how she does it but she's the baby whisperer. She can calm and soothe the baby in an instant. I was originally going to just get photos of my baby but she recommended pictures with me and my husband and boy am I glad we did! She even provided some outfits for me to pick from, and tons of baby props. Her gallery turnaround was super fast as well. She was able to send me some pictures within a day at my request for Christmas cards my husband and I decided to do very last minute ; and she got my entire gallery to me in a few days after. We have received so many compliments on the photos and can't stop raving about her to all our friends and family. We can't wait to see her again for all our baby's future milestones. Thank you Steph! read more

Review for a Petit-session: Booking was easy and her "what to wear guide" very helpful. She managed our large group of 7 adults and 4 kids with ease. Photos came out great and I'm sure grandma will be over the moon when she see's her gift! read more

Steph was great! We did a family mini holiday session with a 2.5 yr old and she knew how to work with kids. We got so many great family pictures in just a short amount of time. The lighting and setting she chose were beautiful. read more

Steph was such a pleasure to work with! From our first email to the final images - she gave us detailed info of what to expect and how to prep ( which is so important when you're working around a newborn and you're a new parent)! She was super patient, especially with our little model who wasn't in the mood to be a model! We appreciated her coming to our home and being covid conscious during these times. Highly recommend Steph to capture those sweet and tender moments of you and your loved ones! read more

I got to know about Steph through my husband's coworker, and decided to go with her for my daughter's first birthday, cake smash session. I have a walking/running 1 year old, and you can imagine my anxiety leading up to the session, but Steph was so warm upon our arrival, my daughter loved her! It is not easy to photograph an active toddler, but Steph was really patient and we had some really AMAZING photos. I actually teared up when she showed me some previews, it was exactly how I wanted to remember my daughter at her stage. Steph's minimalist style of photography is classic, timeless and modern, I am so glad I went with her! I will cherish these photos forever. Also, the turn around time for the gallery was really fast, she has amazing work ethics. She is passionate about her work, and it really shows. We will be returning clients! Thank you once again Steph! read more

Steph C Photography - Session Photography Near Me

Steph did a newborn/family photoshoot for us after the arrival of our second child. The entire process went so smoothly - she provided ample direction to help us prepare for the shoot, was flexible with the scheduling process, and made what could have been a very stressful experience with a newborn and toddler extremely calm, peaceful, and productive. She even brought a few beautiful outfit choices for me which, as a stressed out postpartum mom, I was so grateful for. Steph went above and beyond by offering a second short session to grab a few additional solo shots of my (chubby) newborn, after realizing he didn't fit into the newborn outfits she had originally planned to use. The resulting photo gallery we received was beautiful - the only problem is that I have too many favorite pictures to choose from! I will definitely be reaching out to Steph again in the future. read more

Steph is truly nothing short of AMAZING. I found her thru a Facebook Moms Group and I am so glad I did! She is personable, patient and a professional. I am in love with her aesthetic and style. If you're looking for light, bright and airy - look no further. Every single one of our images turned out beautiful. As you know, it can sometimes be a struggle to photograph a family of 6 - including toddlers and a puppy - but Steph really took her time and we never felt rushed which meant so much to me. Additionally, she was so prompt with the delivery of our photos knowing we needed them soon for our holiday cards. Thank you so much Steph for an excellent job well done! Looking forward to our next session! read more
