I needed a professional headshot for the website of the firm I work for and Steve was very responsive when I reached out to him asking about his services/availability. He’s very professional and he edited the photos in no time. 100% recommended!! More...
What’s the secret to taking a great photograph?
Just have fun, but don't forget about the foundational skills learned in the beginning.
What questions might you ask a client when starting a new project?
What is your goal with the shoot? Any particular vibe you're going for? Do you mind if I include a photo or two in my portfolio and/or on my website?
What do you love most about your job?
I love photography and interacting with people. One of my favorite things is watching people as they get comfortable in front of the camera.
What inspired you to start your own business?
Figured it was time to stop talking about it and to be about it. Its not a job if its what you love doing. Worst that can happen is I fail, but at least I won't regret never having tried.
Why should our clients choose you?
I'm personable and open to your input. Ultimately, I'm not happy unless you are.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
All photographs are done in person. If you just want me to edit a photo I can do so online/remote, please contact me via email at: sales@stephencastelphoto.com to discuss options. Prints are also available on my site. If you see one not listed that you want, reach out and I'll make it happen unless it is a limited run release.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
Started the business after covid, so no changes were made, they're already a part of my day to day life. Any concerns, reach out beforehand and voice them to me and I'll gladly accommodate you.

Real Estate Photography
Need photos of your home or a house you’re putting on the market? Reach out to me at sales@stephencastelphoto.com. Prices start at $450, but it really depends on the size of the house and if there’s prep work that needs to be done by me beforehand. I’m reasonable, so let’s work something out.
Promo Shots
Are you a musician, athlete or just someone running a business that’s looking for promotional shots for your website or social media? Look no further because I can take care of that no problem at all!! Standard package includes 5 fully retouched photos for $350 and at least one hour of shooting time. Additional hours start at $100/hr and $20/per extra photo.
I also offer a larger package for $700 that includes at a minimum 10 photos with the option to shoot a short video (15-90 seconds after edits) as well for an additional $50 per video.
All packages include a do over on the editing of a photo and the ability to request more for a small $10 fee per photo. Re-editing a video will cost an additional $50 as this is extremely time consuming.
