Steph Donaher Photography

My family has been going to Steph Donaher for photos for the last 8 years. I can’t believe I haven’t written a review until now. She is the most professional, kind and talented photographer I’ve ever experienced. She has a certain way with children where they feel comfortable and even the most un-smiley child gets the most photogenic photos. My daughter is in a wheelchair and she always makes the sets accessible for her and goes out of her way to make her feel at home. I have 4 children and she somehow gets them all to smile for every photo. The Santa and Mrs. Claus she uses are the sweetest most real looking couple. Her baby milestone sessions are amazingly organized. She knows how to get things done quick so kids don’t lose interest and have meltdowns. I highly recommend Steph to everyone but especially to those families with special needs children/children with disabilities. She understands and she delivers on quality experiences no matter the circumstances. She’s truly a one of a kind special human/photographer.

We did a cake smash for our little boy back in June with the "King of the Jungle" theme and the experience with Steph was amazing! She made us and our toddler feel comfortable very quickly and the pictures that came out were amazing - they captured our little one's personality perfectly! Even though our little one kept running off the set in excitement, Steph remained patient and positive and was able to turn out wonderful pictures full of happiness and excitement. The cake (or at least what was left of it hahaha) was also delicious for my husband and I to bring home and finish. The cake was very moist and not too sweet which was perfect for us and made us feel very comfortable letting our son eat. I would definitely recommend Steph to any family and am even thinking of returning to her in the future for more family or child-focused photo shots!

My daughter recently had a cake smash photoshoot and she had so much fun. Steph has an amazing setup for little ones, she offers a full closet of outfits and baskets filled with so many adorable hair accessories. There are also plenty of themes to choose from. We went with the “Under the Sea” theme & everything turned out beautiful. Steph provides the outfit, the cake, and even a little bath setup for your baby to clean up afterward, along with a changing area. She even had towels ready, which was such a lifesaver because I forgot to bring one! She also has snacks just in case the child doesn’t like cake. My little one had the best time, and the photos came out stunning. I will 100% be using Steph’s services again in the future and have already recommended her to others. To anyone considering booking with her: you will not be disappointed. She is incredibly professional, and her studio is beautiful, clean, and welcoming. Most importantly, the photos are absolutely gorgeous.

Steph is exceptional. When it comes to shoots, I am very particular about the decor. My son's cake smash was second shoot with her. The first one we did was the Mini Christmas Session. I wanted a theme that no one had ever done for cake smash. I gave her my idea, sent her pictures for reference. When we entered the studio on the day of shoot, I was speechless. She did such an amazing job. The kind of hard work she puts to customize one's set up is commendable. She made my son's cake smash a memorable day for us. Thank you so much Steph for everything. We will see you again for more shoots!

Steph was amazing to work with! We booked a cake smash photoshoot and She took her time with our little one who was not quite sure about the cake, and even had the cutest outfit for her to wear! The photos we received were beautiful! I’d happily go back to her and recommend her to others!
