Studio portrait specialist in Edmonton creating relaxed, authentic professional and family portraits. Steph Donaher’s friendly, no‑stress approach helps every client feel at ease for standout headshots.
Steph Donaher Photography is a portrait specialist rooted in Edmonton, bringing more than a decade of experience to studio and lifestyle portraiture. Steph’s work centres on capturing authentic moments — the small, honest expressions that reveal personality — whether you’re updating a professional headshot or creating contemporary family portraits to hang at home. What sets Steph apart is her approachable, no‑pressure approach. Her cozy South‑Central Edmonton studio is designed to feel like a comfortable living room, so clients relax quickly and real moments — not forced poses — shine through. For families she balances playful prompts with gentle direction so children warm up naturally; for individuals and professionals she focuses on flattering, confident images that translate perfectly to LinkedIn profiles, company pages and personal branding. Steph specialises in studio portraiture but also offers lifestyle sessions outdoors or in‑home when clients want photos that reflect daily life. She tailors each session to the person or family in front of the lens: a concise consultation beforehand ensures styling, tone and desired uses (prints, social, corporate profiles) are aligned, and a calm, encouraging presence during the shoot helps even camera-shy clients show their best selves. For business portraits and headshots, Steph emphasises clarity and authenticity: clean backgrounds, natural expression, and subtle retouching produce images that look professional without feeling overworked. Whether you need a polished LinkedIn photo or a personable portrait for a website, Steph guides you through simple wardrobe and pose choices so the result feels like you — only more confident. Clients choose Steph Donaher Photography because of the warm, collaborative experience and the consistently genuine results. From candid, connection-driven family images to crisp, professional headshots, Steph’s priority is to create portraits that capture how you really look and feel. If you’re in Edmonton and want a portrait experience that’s relaxed, personal and expertly crafted, Steph would love to work with you.
