As Stef Claire Photography has grown, things have evolved, but the goal has always been to be genuinely in- tune with YOU.

Great photographs don’t come from forcing moments. They come from comfort, trust, and ease. From working with someone who feels natural to be around — who knows when to offer guidance and when to step back and let things unfold.

That philosophy is shared across our Associate Photography Team.

What is associate photography?

Associate photography means your session or wedding is photographed by a trusted team member rather than the lead photographer — while the experience, approach, and final product remain the same.

You’re booking the studio and its vision, not just one individual.

⸻

Our associates

Our associates are carefully selected photographers who:

    •    Shoot in the Stef Claire Photography style

    •    Create a calm, natural experience

    •    Work intuitively with people

    •    Understand the balance between direction and observation

All images are edited by Stef Claire Photography, ensuring consistency across every gallery.

⸻

Why choose an associate?

Associate photography may be a good fit if:

    •    The lead photographer is unavailable for your date

    •    You value consistency and experience

    •    You trust our approach and aesthetic

    •    You’re looking for a lower investment without sacrificing quality

If working specifically with the lead photographer is important to you, we’re always upfront about availability so you can choose what feels right.

⸻

Investment

Associate collections are offered at a reduced rate and include:

    •    Planning and communication through Stef Claire Photography

    •    A seamless, guided experience

    •    Professional editing and gallery delivery

Full pricing is shared upon inquiry.

Our promise

We only offer associate photography because we trust our team completely.

If we wouldn’t feel confident handing them our own most important moments, they wouldn’t be here.
