"I found Stephanie through Yelp while browsing for photographers for our family portrait. We had not taken one in MANY years, and this one was going to be a birthday gift to our 92 year old mom, so everything needed to be ON POINT. The job of finding "the perfect photographer" was sort of thrown into my lap at the last minute, as we had one person leaving for college, a few others going on vacation, plus a holiday weekend coming up, and Mom's birthday was 2 & 1/2 weeks away. This was also during COVID! I requested quotes from five different photographers; only THREE responded. TWO of them told me FLAT OUT they were NOT accepting any reservations. Stephanie responded immediately via e:mail, and included her pricing and package options, as well as a link to her website so I could review some of her past shoots. From the start, I already felt a sense of warmth & genuine openness. Since it had been years since we had done any type of group portraits, I had a million silly questions! Stephanie, however, was ever patient and understanding, and NEVER made me feel uncomfortable (or dumb), and always took the time to explain everything in detail to me so I understood what I was paying for & what we were doing. The day of our photo shoot, Stephanie and her amazing assistant arrived early enough to set up and start shooting at our designated time. There were 11 of us, so you can imagine how difficult it was to get us all lined up, postured, etc., but in spite of her sweet, soft voice, Stephanie managed to get it done, and our pictures look fabulous! I would absolutely consider soliciting Stephanie again the next time I need a photographer to capture a special memory (provided she hasn't retired from all her success!), and I am more than pleased to recommend her to the community to capture YOUR memories as well!"

"It was a last minute thing. I needed a wedding photographer for my parents' wedding in 5 DAYS. I was lucky to find Stephanie online. I called her and glad she came to the rescue. She was VERY helpful, detailed, and professional. She was very kind to accommodated my requests too! She definitely took beautiful pictures and captured moments from this special day. Looking forward to future bookings. Will definitely recommend to family and friends!"

Blake R.

"We had a wonderful experience with Stephanie for our family photo session! She made the whole experience fun and engaging for everyone. We love how our photos turned out! We definitely recommend her to friends and plan to contact her in the future to capture more of our precious family moments."

"Stephanie was FANTASTIC. She absolutely nailed the perfect proposal/engagement photo shoot and helped to coordinate the entire play-by-play with me from start to finish. I'm based on the East coast and was trying to plan a proposal on Manhattan Beach in Los Angeles. I had never been to the beach before but knew it was the right place to pop the question. Not only did Stephanie remain stealthy and capture the whole moment with 100+ photos, she scouted the area a week ahead (and sent a Youtube video of vantage points), suggested the perfect spot (with the pier in the background), showed me her hiding spot and angles, and even ran out to purchase a bottle of champagne for me (and kept it chilled). She did all of this for me AFTER HAVING HER OWN OFFICIAL WEDDING THE MORNING OF THE PHOTOSHOOT. My fiancé and I are so happy with the photos and Stephanie was extremely generous with her time (before and during the day). She even sent ~5 photos along during the same day so we could shar them with friends and family immediately. Just incredible, incredible service and A+ quality pictures. I would 100% recommend her to anyone seeking some help for a high (or low) stakes photo opportunity."

Chirs G.

"Stephanie was fantastic to work with! She seamlessly rolled with the punches even when the weather didn't cooperate (rained ) the morning of the photo shoot. Super professional and the photos came out great. Would highly recommend Stephanie to anyone looking for some stunning engagement photos!"

Jeff Y.

"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!

Juliet G.

"Stephanie is a great photographer!! She is professional, courteous, so much fun to work with and her photographs are stunning. She is really quick to pose and gets a nice shots without taking too much time at posing. We never thought that we would have pictures as beautiful as we do and they turned out even better than I could have imagined! She guided us every step of the way - from picking a great location to matching outfits. She exceeds my expectations and we felt really comfortable during the shoot.

We are so thankful for the work that she did and I'm so happy we have these beautiful photos to cherish forever... I definitely would recommend her!!!!"

Kristine C.

"Absolute 10 out of 10!! Stephanie did a fantastic job capturing my sister's high school graduation photos. She was very attentive and creative with directing my sister, who is a bit camera-shy. Stephanie made her feel comfortable and relaxed during the whole photoshoot. She was very knowledgeable in regards to lighting, backgrounds, and poses. Stephanie indeed went above and beyond; she even stayed an extra 30 minutes to capture more golden hour shots of my sister. I truly appreciate how accommodating and punctual she was at the photoshoot location. Again, thank you so much, Stephanie, for the thoughtful keepsake you gifted my sister and the beautiful pictures!!"

Chidinma O.

"As many others have stated, Stephanie is responsive, responsible and goes above and beyond. We were new to the professional photography world and she answered all my questions, set up a Pinterest site to see my tastes, and was flexible on the date of shooting (sun/heat). We used her for family photos but I would not hesitate to recommend her for business use also."

Marcia L.

"Stephanie was great, she knew a good location and was flexible with my time slot and day of the week. Shes also got a great eye for backgrounds and poses. It was my first time getting anything like this done and she helped me through it. Stephanie was also the very helpful in helping me stay in my budget. I already recommended her to my associates and friends."

Salem A.

"I had a great experience working with Stephanie for my business headshots. She was professional, made me feel comfortable throughout the entire process. Communication was excellent; scheduling the appointment was easy, and the shots were great. I highly recommend and hope for future use as our business grows."

Tom F.

"Stephanie is such a great photographer. She accommodated every request I have, and went above and beyond of what is expected. We did the shoot in our not-so-spacious house, and worked with it so well. It's hard to really take a great photo if space is limited. But she was able to manage and still made the outcome looked great. And apart from being a great photographer, she's a very kind person, very patient and very professional. She takes her job very seriously. I would definitely recommend her to my friends and families. I couldn't be happier with our photos. Thanks to her!"

Jessan C.

"Stephanie was amazing! I planned a surprise engagement and Stephanie scouted the location, sent me videos of her plans (covid precautions instead of meeting in person), and did an amazing job capturing our very special day. She was prompt, responsive, and had great follow through. Would definitely recommend her services. Also, the photos came out great!"

Josh E.

"Stephanie has taken many pictures of my family over the years! Whether it's portraits of me setting out bunches of luscious Thompson seedless grapes, or pictures of the family oohed and aahed over the new baby on Thanksgiving, or capturing our toddler running around in excitement hunting for Easter eggs!

Stephanie has passion for arts and a keen sense to capture the moment! Her creativity and imagination shines through in her photographs and they speak to me! We look forward to seeing more of her amazing work of art!"

Terry J.

"Stephanie Ip Photography has done a great work on our family pictures during this pandemics. The pictures are lively, full of joys and fun as we were directed by the photographer. We found family pictures would not need to be formal, sit tight with formal smiles but family pictures can be lively, relaxing and joyful.

The year of 2020 was a year gave everyone the worst year and look forward good times coming. Photos give us snap shots of joyful moments which cannot be recreated."
