Stephanie Ip Photography

Posted on April 3, 2021

Turning your home into a photo studio is possible with a few pieces of photo equipment, but the most important thing is that the space allows the photographer to be properly positioned. For this particular photoshoot, we were able to fit into a 10×10 foot living room. It would have been better to move the furniture out of the room for a better overall experience, but we made do.

The mother’s birthday was coming up, and she wanted to have an intimate photo session with her family along with a couple of outfit changes. One of the benefits of doing a photo session at home is having the flexibility to change in and out of outfits without the need to haul everything from place to place or find a private room. Not to mention it minimizes the wait time, allowing the client to have more shots taken within the hour.

"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!"
