Photo by Amy Salessi Photography
Hello everyone, my name is Stephanie Redcher and I would love to be your photographer! I live in the beautiful city of Claremont, CA and I specialize in babies, children, maternity and families. I shoot in natural light and on location- I am constantly searching for beautiful outdoor spots to hold my sessions.
In addition to being a photographer, I am a full time mom to three beautiful girls. Sophia is 4, Vivian is 2, and my youngest, Audrey, is just over 1. My girls are my inspiration.
After becoming a mom, I soon discovered how important it is to capture special moments and milestones with a camera. With each addition to our family, I became more and more interested in photography, and before having my third I decided to take up the hobby myself. Soon taking pictures became more than just a hobby and in October of 2011, I started my photography business, "Shots by Steph".
I am dedicated to my craft and I invest a great deal of time and energy into growing as a photographer. I have taken local classes and workshops and numerous online workshops. In addition, I belong to numerous photography forums and read valuable photography publications. I am constantly reading photography books and I scour the web for informative articles and websites. I want to be the best I can be for my clients, so I take my photography very seriously.
Some other fun facts about me include...
I love to garden.
I love to bake.
I come from a family of four children.
I am seriously addicted to Starbucks. Drive through of course. And I will go way out of my way to get to one. Grande Caramel Macchiato!
I have a teaching credential in Elementary Education.
I love being a mom, wife, and friend. I adore my children, admire my husband, and cherish my friends.
I have always collected antiques (which inspires my photography in many ways).
Many of my props are handmade. I value the craftsmanship that goes into a delicate headband, a knitted blanket, and a hand-sewn dress. And when I can, I love to craft myself.
I love food! All kinds!
And I love when my clients love their pictures; it's what makes me tick.
