Simpson Portraits

Stephanie is simply wonderful and a consummate professional. I was extremely shy during my photoshoot, but Stephanie was an absolute pro at making me feel comfortable in front of the camera lens. For someone as camera shy as me, I was pleasantly surprised at how great the shots came out — which is simply a reflection of how great Stephanie is.
I must also add that her makeup artist Maggie is EVERYTHING. Her makeup skills are insane. She will make you look and feel beautiful, so that it can all be captured by Stephanie’s camera.
Superb team. Fantastic experience.

Every woman deserves to have beautiful portraits of themselves! I adore the photographs Stephanie took of me and had a total blast hanging out with her during the shoot.
Stephanie is an absolute dream to work with! Being in front of the camera can be intimidating, but after only a few test shots, Stephanie was able to get my guard down and had me completely at ease. She’s so good at showing you exactly how to pose so that every part of you looks fantastic.
I also loved the variety of photos I got from my shoot with her. She talks through the shoot with you before you start and goes over all the ways you want to be photographed. I got to do a bit of everything from a couple Old Hollywood Veronica Lake type photos, fabulous girly photos in corsets and tulle skirts (She has so many fun corsets, skirts, and accessories at her studio!) to great head shots I can use for business, and of course, plenty of pictures to use as my Facebook profile picture. ;)
I highly recommend Simpson Portraits. You’ll love your photos and you’ll love Stephanie!

Stephanie is an extremely talented photographer. Her body of work speaks for itself. She is fun, full of ideas and easy to work with. Stephanie has a great eye for detail and I came in to her studio with a very specific idea in mind of what I wanted. She made it happen. Her studio is warm, welcoming and (oh by the way) gorgeous. I’m literally in awe of the stunning shots she took of my children and of me. I’m over the moon happy with the photographs I bought. Stephanie will be our family photographer and our friend for many years to come. Thanks, Steph!!! You freaking rock!!!

So happy to have my photos for my LinkedIn Profile done by Simpson Portraits! During my proof review, I could not believe that ALL the photos turned out phenomenal. Usually when a photographer takes a massive amount of photos, they’re banking at getting a few good ones in. Not with Stephanie! Each shot is inspired by her creative direction. Would definitely return again.
Julie Ryan did my hair and make-​up! So happy with the whole shoot!!!

Simpson Portraits provided a wonderful experience for my mom and I. You often don’t have the opportunity to have professional photos done with loved ones, so when my mom and I had the chance we jumped on it.
From the time you walk in the studio (which is beyond gorgeous and perfected with small details) you feel comfortable and relaxed. Stephanie has truly created an atmosphere where you can be yourself, a little silly and have a whole lotta fun!
I am one to never like pictures of myself, but Stephanie captured photos that I LOVED. The photos of my mom and I are unbelievable. We couldn’t believe someone was able to capture us in this way.
I have total confidence in Stephanie & her team (amazing makeup artist and hair stylist;Maggie) that she can capture anyone’s true beauty and fun side!
Thank you Stephanie, you rock!

Had a photo shoot with Stephanie and couldn’t be happier! Her studio is very welcoming and puts you at ease right away. Great location in the village. I’m not a fan of being photographed, but Stephanie was really fun to work with and made it such an easy process! The final product was even better! We found so many pictures that we liked that it was hard to choose our favorite! Thank you Stephanie!

Stephanie is absolutely fantastic. I needed headshots (and hate getting my picture taken). Stephanie worked quickly and efficiently, found out the image I needed to project for my business and captured it!
I cannot recommend highly enough.

Very professional and very easy to work with. Stephanie knows everything there is to know about beautiful photography. I highly recommend her to anyone who wants a GREAT collection of photos to use in a variety of different ways. Anyone can look and feel beautiful after a photo shoot with Stephanie.

I chose to go to Simpson Portraits 1) based on fellow Unilocal reviews and 2) the beautiful portrait examples on her websites. I was definitely NOT disappointed!
WHAT I NEEDED:
I was in need of an updated headshot, but I didn’t want to get boring ol’ professional ones. I wanted one where I came across as both professional and approachable /​both a leader and a team player. I also wanted professsional hair & make up done for my portraits. All of the places I searched, however, charged way too much for the session fee + hair/​make up, but finding Simpson Portraits was like a goldmine!
WHAT I GOT:
Stephanie managed to capture all of characteristics I wanted and more. I just wish I were just basking in money so i could buy more portraits! I ended up getting the 5 image package. The turnaround time was also like 1 day (but this was per my request, and there was no additional fee for this — awesome!). When I went back to review and select the images, we then went through any elements I wanted corrected.
I am currently a graduate student, and her portrait prices were steep for my budget, but i felt that 1) she did an amazing job (and so did her makeup artist!) and 2) it was a worthy investment because I plan to use these headshots for future academic publications, conferences, etc. So, I am very happy overall.
PROS:
Her makeup artist DEFINITELY does amazing eyebrow work! Both of them really make a great team. I appreciated seeing how well they worked together in addition to how well they treated me. Both of them also took some time to get to know me during our time together. It was like hanging out with girlfriends. Really enjoyed the vibe. I also couldn’t believe that I could bring as many outfits/​accessories as I wanted, so I definitely came with quite the handful of outfits and jewelry.
I had never done a session like this before, but as many others have said here, Stephanie really makes you feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera.
LAST WORDS:
If you have never done a photography session like this (and you are on a graduate student budget), the prices may scare you as they did me at first, but I think Stephanie’s work is worth it, and it is definitely an investment, AND I am absolutely happy with the outcome.
I look forward to working with her again in a few months. :D
You won’t be disappointed; book that appointment!

I needed new headshots taken and luckily I stumbled uponSImpson Portraits! I had a blast shooting with Stephanie and I could not be more pleased with the final product.
As an actor, it’s important to get headshots that are true to who you are while still showing the range of characters that you are capable of. This can be a tall order for a photographer, but Stephanie stepped right up to the plate. She was thoughtful and encouraging and took the time to talk with me about exactly what looks I needed to get out of our session. She helped me come up with a game plan and then faithfully stuck to it! She was quick, efficient, and an overall pleasure to work with! Not only did she shoot fast, but she went as far as bringing me back for a sit down session to look through the best of my shots and pick the ones that really got the job done! It was amazing!
Stephanie is a gifted with the camera, but she is also gifted with people. She takes the time to get to know the actor and helps bring out the best of who you are for the camera. I found her to be friendly and extremely disarming!
I HIGHLY recommend Stephanie to any actors looking to get their money’s worth out of their headshots! Go with Simpson Portraits, you won’t regret it!

I needed to get some new headshots and had heard about Simpson portraits. She was fantastic! She had great ideas for shots and still let me be creative so that I could get the product I wanted. I felt very comfortable around her and we could talk about the pictures as we went.
I love the final product, now I just have to narrow down the ones I love the most! Very professional and easy to work with. I totally recommend Simpson Portraits!

I took fellow Unilocalers advice and hired Stephanie to do my new business photos. I had a vision which other photographers just didn’t understand nor really care about. From the first conversation She listened and i could tell she really cared about how I wanted my pictures to look.
When I arrived at her studio it was like I new she had been the right choice. Her studio is nice clean and she was very welcoming. Her make up artist Maggie? Amazing! So nice and professional but more important I didn’t look or feel all «made up «I looked like a beautiful version of myself!
I was blown away with how comfortable Stephanie made me feel and how she had gone above and beyond to fill my need of a wispy fun shoot, she even brought glitter and flower petals and bubbles to insure my photos had the essence I was going for.
By far, the best shoot I have ever had! Then I saw the photos WOW! She had them in a video with music format up on a big screen… I cried and giggled with delight as I saw the video of myself… Holy $&:@: she nailed my vision! I looked Amazing!
just so you all know I’m in the business of seeing many many photos. I have seen 1000’s it is RARE that you find a photographer who captures the spirt of the person they are shooting and that is the key to a great photo.
She captured me .the essence of me in those shots unlike any photographer I have ever worked with and I’ve worked with many who are considered the best.
Stephanie is a true talent with a great eye. Her photos are the best I have ever seen even if they are of myself lol (it’s all in the eyes) Stephanie makes your eyes speak.
If you are looking for photographer who takes her time to capture your true inner beauty, your spirit Stephanie is the one for you !
Stephanie the best photographer Maggie the best make-​up artist… together they are truly an amazing team!

Stephanie at Simpson Portraits is absolutely INCREDIBLE to work with and I’m so thrilled with the photos!!! I’m a performer and I also compete in the Miss America Organization so, I’ve had my fair share of pictures and head shots taken but, I’m usually never satisfied with the finished product. I LOVED Stephanie’s work and she made me feel so comfortable in front of the camera. Her lighting and editing skills are nothing but professional. I highly recommend her for any of you photography needs :) I hope to work with her again in the future!

I recently got new head shots with Stephanie. Her work is absolutely amazing! Such great quality and very professional. She is great with figuring out ways to get the looks that you want in your head shot and she helps you figure out how to best market yourself for film/​television or theater. My pictures turn out great. They were everything I wanted and more! I definitely recommend her for anyone looking to get new photos taken! :)

I recently lost a lot of weight and wanted to take some photos to document my progress. I found Simpson Portraits through some friends who had worked with her and had amazing photos to show for it. I had to work with Stephanie! I was so nervous but she did an amazing job. The pictures looked fantastic, but they also looked like me! She truly captured my personality and helped me feel confident and beautiful. I will definitely be working with her again!

Stephanie is a pro. She knows lighting like nobodies business.
But first things first…
I was not happy about having to do photos for my companies website.
Since I turned 40 I’ve tried to escape any chance of having my picture taken.
I reluctantly went into Stephanie’s studio. What an adorable studio it is. You can see she chose the location for the lovely light that streams through the many windows.
Her make up gal Maggie (who is lovely and talented in her own right) did my make up and then the shoot started. Stephanie makes you feel comfortable and relaxed, it was only minutes before I settled in and was really into it.
It’s apparent in the photos that we had fun and that she knows what she’s doing.
The photos were just beautiful and captured emotion brilliantly.
I highly recommend Simpson portraits. I have sent a few of my clients in to see Stephanie and they have all been very pleased.
Thank you Stephanie!

+Head shots (headshots)
+Photographer for business
I suddenly noticed my colleges had professional looking pictures popping up on their LinkedIN, Twitter, Facebook pages and business pitch decks and I remember having this epiphany that I needed to «keep up with the crowd.»
Simpson Portraits was brilliant. Multiple styled headshots for different audiences. Touched up and resized so I could upload them with ease to different websites. High quality images also provided for print docs.

Need a headshot? Stephanie is your girl. She is a master of lighting and color, knows how to find your best angles and is a whiz with photo editing, but you’ll still look like you. Only better.

I had a wonderful photo shoot with Stephanie! She made me feel relaxed and it shows in my pictures! She is professional, sweet, caring, and she takes the time to get to know her clients. The natural light in her studio makes for a beautiful, natural photograph! Thank you, Stephanie!

When you need your portrait to be professional, beautiful and truly reflect your best self, call Stephanie.
I’ve sat with her for three sessions, and even entrusted her to take my daughter’s first Christmas pictures. Each time, Stephanie has been beyond kind, super knowledgable and creative, and works overtime to make sure she’s got the perfect shots. She really listens to what’s important to you, and the effect you hope the finished photos to have. Most important, she wants her clients to be happy.
She’s a polished professional, and worth every penny.
