Our maternity + family shoot was an absolute dream! Stephanie made my 2 year old daughter feel so comfortable- she was smiling and so happy the entire time, our photoshoot of the 3 of us was a dream come true. We have so many incredible options to choose from, I simply gave up trying to narrow them down further. She knew exactly all the style shots and location to make this day absolutely perfect. As someone who has always been a bit aphrenrsive on getting photographed in my pregnant condition and then always been a bit of "eh, we can take these photos ourselves" type of person, I couldn't be more thrilled with this investment and how wonderful it was working with her. We can't wait to see her again when our baby is born! read more

I would 10000% recommend Stephanie! She took amazing photos of our family and captured our newborn in the sweetest photos. My only regret was not meeting her sooner to capture newborn photos of our older two kids! read more

We returned to Stephanie to take our third newborn shoot. She does an amazing job with set up and calming the newborns for the perfect shot. She was able to get great shots of our family of 5, including two toddlers. Highly recommend! read more

Stephanie is professional, personable, extremely skilled, and naturally connects with Mom & Babies very very well! We are lucky to have such talent in our region. Although we were hesitant to book all of our maternity, newborn, and one year with any photographer, we kept coming back after our maternity session. Just save your time and stress and team up with Stephanie. Thank you read more

Stephanie came highly recommended by a friend for our newborn photo shoot. I contacted her thru her website and got a quick response. Her portfolio is impressive - she's been in the business for +10 years and does maternity and mommy & me shoots too!! When we arrived, her studio was prepped for baby: warm, dimly lit and a Shusher ready for our newborn. I appreciated her calm demeanor as it was soothing for us new parents and baby. She had all the tricks to keep our baby at ease... truly Stephanie is the Baby Whisperer!! Our shoot was a little challenging because baby was hungry and fussy, but Stephanie was so patient with baby. Soon after, she emailed us photo proofs to choose from and her website was easy to navigate and select our favorite shots. We HIGHLY recommend Stephanie!! Not only is she talented, but sweet and great to work with. Our baby loved her so much xo Thank you Stephanie Ann!! read more

I worked in TV for over a decade as a cinematographer, and I cannot express how much I would recommend Stephanie. Stephanie's photography alone is worth the 5 stars, but I must also mention how wonderful the experience was at her studio. She is such a professional, and has so many amazing props/backdrops to help create the perfect photo for your newborn. Stephanie was so great at handling our baby and making sure he was happy and content. It helped my wife and I feel at ease and enjoy the moment. Stephanie is also great at getting back to you promptly, and her website is very user friendly and easy to navigate. Please book her as your next photographer, you will not be disappointed. read more

Stephanie is amazing to work with! I decided last minute that I wanted to do a newborn photoshoot and wasn't sure if it was too late too book since my son was already a week and a half old at the time. I messaged Stephanie through Instagram and she got back to me right away! She squeezed us in days after my son turned 3 weeks. The day came and I was a little nervous since I was also taking my 3 year old toddler for sibling photos but she nailed it! She was patient with both my little one and with my energetic toddler. She answered his millions of "Why?" questions. Lol and calmed my baby to sleep for the perfect captured images! Not to mention she has plenty of props and wrap variations! Let's just say this, I know where I'll be coming to capture the future milestones of my little ones. Side note! She got the images to me in a week! That is amazing! Considering I've worked with other photographers and have waited a month or longer to see my images. read more

Stephanie Ann Photography - Session Photography Near Me - Oxnard, California

Stephanie was recommended to me by another photographer for newborn photography. From booking, the photo shoot, and the delivery of the photos, it has been a great experience. As a new mom I was very hesitant and nervous about doing a photo shoot with a newborn. I was afraid our newborn was not going to be having it the day of and/or be fuzzy the time she was there. I also questioned myself how I was going to calm her down so the photographer (Stephanie) could do her magic. Well let me tell you all those feelings went out the door when I handed our Babygirl to Stephanie and she began. I cannot begin to express how well she works with newborns. The whole photo shoot was such a relaxing experience for dad and I. I highly recommend Stephanie . Very professional, great communication and patient. read more

Stephanie was great. She took care of our baby very well. She was very patient and she knew exactly how to handle a newborn and calm him down quickly. My baby did not cry once during the photoshoot. The pictures turned out great and she accommodated/incorporated our personal props (blanket and dolls) well in the photos. We definitely recommend her!!! read more

My wife and I wanted to get photos of our newborn. Mommy was onboard, daddy was onboard... baby? Not so much. Our little one raised all holy terror on the way to the session. However, the moment we walked in, you could feel an aura of comfort in the studio as baby calmed down. Stephanie proceeded to... well... I guess take photos. But that doesn't really do justice to what she did. She was able to capture some of the most perfect moments with our little one, and even wholeheartedly embraced us bringing in some sentimental props. She was so great that we immediately looked into getting our Christmas card photos with her. I can never thank Stephanie enough other than to say that, when I am old and gray and life has passed me by, I will be able to look at some amazing photos of my precious daughter and Stephanie is the one that made that happen. read more

HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend! We made the drive from Los Angeles and I'm so glad we did. Exceeded my expectations of a timeless, classic chic photoshoot. Only regret I have is not coming here for my maternity photos (maybe for baby no. 2 ) I showed her some photos of a shoot I saw on Pinterest and the photos she took came out far better!! Plus, Stephanie really knows her way with newborn babies and has a very calming demeanor- I've heard stories of photographers being rough or impatient and that is simply not the case. read more

We had just moved to the area and we were looking for a photographer for my maternity photos. I stumbled upon Stephanie while browsing for local photographers and I instantly fell in love with her photography style. I'm really awkward when taking pictures but from her portfolio I got a more candid easy going style. On the day of our session she was so easy going and helped make the whole process go smoothly. She was so patient with our one year old and even made her feel comfortable enough to let Stephanie hold her while she snapped a few pics of me and my husband. We loved the pictures so much we decided to add on a newborn session and that was an amazing experience. It was such a peaceful setting for our newborn she didn't cry or wake up one time. She took the most extreme care while handling our newborn and the pictures came out beautiful. I would highly recommend Stephanie! read more

First thing's first, Stephanie took our newborn daughter's photos, absolutely AMAZING! When we first walked in, she was very welcoming (even through emails before meeting her)she had the studio warmed , smelling divine and white noise playing. She was great at getting our babygirl to sleep and pose for her photos. She was soo good with her! Also, our 3 year old had a melt down before our family pictures and she was soo patient and caring with him. She even gave him these little toys to play with and help him get through the pictures. Studio was very clean and smelled good. Made it a relaxing environment. PLUS, She sanitized her hands each time before picking up or touching our girl. There's a changing station there to help you change baby's diaper if needed or change clothes. Now for the looks, she had several props and colors set up for us to choose. She also did a swing pose I wanted for our baby and it came out so GREAT! the swing pose was challenging, as she had to have baby's both hands holding the swing ropes while sleeping and having her legs crossed. Stephanie got the look down and the picture is everything. Once she sent us the pictures for choosing, it was so hard to pick which ones we liked, as they were all beautifully taken. Overall, we will definitely be taking more pictures with her. She met all our expectations and beyond! Made our vision come true. Our daughters pictures are EVERYTHING and we are completely satisfied with them. read more

We have worked with Stephanie for two sessions - maternity and newborn. Both times she had been extremely professional, pleasant, and easy to work with. Her work is outstanding and best of all, she was able to keep our baby calm and sleeping for the newborn session which my wife and I thought would be impossible! We are looking forward to working with her for the next shoot! read more

So happy I found Stephanie to take my newborn photos. She was able to squeeze us in due to my baby born premature. She was amazing with my baby girl very gentle and patient. Photos came out beautiful! read more

Our family has had 3 sessions with Stephanie, and every time we were very pleased with the experience and product! First session was an "at home" visit from Stephanie for our new born pictures, and the last two sessions were for family pics. On both of these occasions we met in the Ventura area based on Stephanie's recommendation. Great beach/pier shots along with some beautiful nature and green backdrops. In addition to great photography skills and an eye for nice locations, Stephanie is very pleasant and easy to work with. Our little one, Emma, really likes her! Highly recommend. read more

Stephanie made us feel comfortable and handled our baby with care. We will be booking more sessions soon. read more

My pregnancy was tough and the last thing on my mind was getting maternity photos. However, I woke up in a panic just a few weeks before I was to be induced realizing my lack of maternity shots. I needed to find a photographer fast; however, I can be very picky when it comes to photography especially since I'm a bit of a shutterbug myself. I found Stephanie online and really liked a lot of her photos. Moreover, Stephanie was very accommodating, scheduling us in a week before the big day. Stephanie made everything really easy, taking some amazing shots of my husband and I (and baby bump) at Oxnard Dunes, and even in the water (which means a lot because my husband and I are really big water people). The hardest part of the entire process was at the very end with choosing the photos that were going to be finalized because it seemed like every single photo was incredible. I would highly recommend Stephanie for any of your family photography needs. She has a keen eye, is really great to work with, and is amazing at capturing special moments. We immediately booked her for our newborn photo session (where she also captured beautiful photos of our 4-day old baby girl) and we booked her for our upcoming Xmas photos. We definitely plan on using Stephanie for our future family photoshoots and will recommend her to all our family and friends. read more

Stephanie is an amazing photographer! We had her shoot newborn photos and couldn't have had a better experience. She and her assistant showed up on time (a little early actually!), were beyond kind and professional, and the photos themselves were shot beautifully (she has a great eye). Stephanie truly has a way with newborns and is a baby whisperer, our daughter is normally very fussy esp when undressed and somehow Stephanie was able to pose and dress her in the props with no problem! She definitely has a calming presence to her. We received a link to an online gallery of the photos within a week of the shoot and the photos blew us away. We're so thankful we had such a talented photographer capture these memories for us. Throughout our whole process, Stephanie was easyto communicate with and everything was so smooth and painless - esp as new parents, we definitely appreciated how no-stress everything was.
