Whether you need a relaxed outdoor session or a polished in-office look, we tailor every shoot to fit your brand.
We shoot in outdoor locations, your office, or a rental studio (additional cost). Lifestyle sessions are often done in scenic or urban backdrops, while corporate and headshot sessions can be set up at your workplace or in a studio for a clean, professional look. We help you select the perfect setting based on your branding goals.
We recommend wearing outfits that align with your brand’s personality, avoiding busy patterns or distracting colors. If you’re doing a corporate or team session, we can provide guidance on wardrobe, posing, and setting choices to ensure a cohesive look. Need extra prep? We offer styling recommendations before your session.
Individual branding sessions typically last 60–90 minutes, giving us enough time for outfit changes and different looks. Corporate team headshot sessions vary depending on the number of employees, but we ensure an efficient and professional experience for your team.
You’ll receive your fully edited, high-resolution images in a private online gallery within 1-2 weeks. For corporate and team sessions, we provide an organized gallery with easy access to download individual files. Need your photos sooner? Rush delivery options are available upon request.
A strong visual presence sets you apart—whether it’s a polished headshot, a dynamic lifestyle session, or a cohesive team portrait. We craft professional branding photography that reflects your expertise and personality.
Making sure our clients have a satisfying experience is part of the package you'll get when working with us.

"Working with Stephanie was an absolute pleasure. I purchased the personal branding package. In the past I've found taking photos a slightly difficult and intimidating venture. However Stephanie made it pleasant and fun. Before we even began, Stephanie spent time with me and asked lots of questions to help narrow down exactly what I was needing. She was an extremely good listener and paid close attention to even small details. The shoot itself was a pleasant and fun experience. I was surprised how efficiently she worked. The shoot was completed quickly without feeling rushed. I was grateful the process did not take all day. It was energizing rather than exhausting. In the end the results were photos even better than I expected. Stephanie even spent extra time with me reviewing the photos to make sure I got EXACTLY what I wanted. The next time I need photos Stephanie will be the first person I call!"

"I can't speak highly enough of Stephanie! I called her the day before I needed some corporate headshots, and I was sure I wasn't going to have any luck finding someone! To my surprise she had some availability for us the next day and was so awesome to set everything up! She was extremely helpful and worked with a sense of urgency which was amazing for my multitasking self! When she arrived the team absolutely LOVED her! They joked around had some fun and took some amazing photos! After it was time for her to leave, she followed up with me again and then within 2 weeks she had our photos ready to go! The interface she uses for her photo galleries is top notch and all her photos were magical! I will absolutely be using her again when I have other teams in the area! If you are on the fence just do it! She is the best!"

"I feel so fortunate to have discovered Stephanie Ip Photography! I contacted her about photos to use for online dating. Understandably I was a little bit nervous about the whole thing and Stephanie set me at ease from our first phone conversation. She was very clear, organized, and professional at every stage of the process from booking to confirming to the actual shoot. My photos turned out great and the shoot was a lot of fun. Stephanie was able to suggest locations and show me similar photos and let me choose from a variety of times of day, lighting, and specific locations. Proofs were available very quickly and once I chose the ones I wanted, the final product was in my email inbox the next day. I am already getting compliments on the pictures including "You're photogenic!" which I have never been told before, ever!
