Whether you need a confident LinkedIn headshot, business branding portraits or a personal portrait session, Steve’s priority is to reveal the personality behind the smile. Why choose SJC Photography? Steve brings the same care and attention to portrait sessions that he applies to his wedding work: preparation, sensitivity to light and a calm directing style that helps even the most camera-shy clients relax. His images aim to be timeless rather than trendy — crafted so you can look back and recognise exactly how you felt in that moment. Local clients praise Steve’s preparation and how at ease he makes them feel, which shows in the authentic, natural moments he captures. What makes the approach special? SJC Photography blends professional, studio-quality composition with a relaxed, conversational shoot atmosphere. Sessions are tailored: for business headshots Steve focuses on clarity, flattering light and expressions that communicate competence and approachability; for personal portraits he encourages natural movement and expression to create images with warmth and character. The emphasis is always on telling a genuine story through the face and posture — not forced poses. How Steve works with you: every portrait session begins with a friendly conversation about your goals—what you want the images to say and how they’ll be used. Steve guides you through simple posing and works with available light or carefully chosen locations to create the best results. His direction is gentle and practical, helping you find natural expressions while maintaining a confident, professional look for business portraits. On-location lifestyle shoots are also available to capture portraits in settings that matter to you.
