Steve is a talented photographer who loves what he does. I enjoyed talking to him and working with him for my photographs. I had a rather simple request for a photograph for citizenship papers, but he took it seriously and took an excellent picture for my papers, but also took a really beautiful additional picture that I can enjoy and use. I highly recommend Steve and will use him as my photographer again in the future! More...

From the outset, working with Steve Krumenaker was not only a delightful experience but also a testament to his genuine interest in capturing the emotions I aimed to convey in my professional photos.
Steve's dedication shone through as he meticulously guided me through the entire process, continuously assessing poses and angles to identify those that complimented me best. His unwavering commitment to collaboration was palpable, evident in the thoughtful review of photos along the way, allowing for adjustments and refinement to align with my preferences.
Steve's accommodations extended beyond the session, where he made edits to ensure my utmost satisfaction with the final selection of photos. The seamless communication and attention to detail throughout the entire process underscored Steve's professionalism and commitment to delivering a truly personalized service.

I had the pleasure of working with Steve for my maternity shoot. We started out by meeting virtually and talking about how the shoot would go and Steve showed me a slideshow of different poses and types of photos he had in mind.
We met a week before the shoot virtually again and I showed him outfits I had in mind and he had given me feedback.
On the day of the photoshoot, I had the pleasure of working with Mixie. She did my hair and makeup and listened to what I had wanted. I loved the makeup so much I kept it on and went to my cousin's football game later that day looking fabulous. (HAHA) She was kind and we had a great conversation while she did my makeup and hair. Mixie even stayed to watch a few of the pictures.
Steve was very kind and I loved working with him. He had a private room for outfit changes and we tried all different shots. I took breaks to sit down and have snacks that he provided. (Totally necessary at 37 weeks pregnant.) He showed me some photos during the process and they looked wonderful. My toddler came at the end and we took some photos together!
About a week later we met virtually to select the photos I wanted to keep. (It was so hard to decide because I loved them ALL.) I was able to easily download them from his portal. Thank you Steve!

I had such a great experience working with Steve. He made the shoot feel very fun and easy going. He spent a lot of time leading up to the shoot looking into what I had described I wanted. Absolutely delivered. You can tell he really cares about the product he gives, spends the time to get to know you and your vibe, and it shows! Recommended all my friends to him and now am recommending anyone else to him! More...

I was recently laid off, and as part of my fresh start to pursue a new career, I worked with Steve on new headshots. He took the time to get to know me and my goals first, and the resulting photos exceeded my expectations by every measure. Steve didn't just take pictures, he captured the essence of the personality I wanted to show the world. Thank you, Steve! More...

What’s the secret to taking a great photograph?
Getting to know you. Why? My job is to get you to relax, understand the reason you need/want new photos, and coach you into getting a natural, authentic expression that conveys the message you want to deliver. Knowing you even a bit helps with this.
Delivering on the goal of creating your best photo ever is not easy, but it's reachable. The coaching, posing, lighting, and editing are all necessary pieces of the puzzle. Knowing when to bring in each component is the secret ingredient.
What questions might you ask a client when starting a new project?
For headshots, why do you need a headshot? Why now?
For maternity photos, how are you feeling (both physically and mentally). Will your partner be joining you?
For everyone, when you look in the mirror, what do you see?
Who is your audience and what do you want them to see?
Have you ever had a professional photo shoot?
What's been your experience in front of a camera? With other photographers?
What's your expectations of the shoot?
What would make this shoot successful in your view?
What do you love most about your job?
Making folks feel good about themselves. It's not that complicated. It's all about listening to you and delivering on the promise. i personalize the experience and work with you for a common goal.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I enjoy it. I have always had a camera nearby, and there is nothing better than working on something you enjoy doing.
Why should our clients choose you?

Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
