Our Mission

“In portrait photography I have one job, to make you, my client, look your absolute best. For this, I need you to be relaxed and comfortable in front of the camera. Through a mixture of direct and indirect coaching, a sense of humor, and sometimes just being plain silly, I help you become more comfortable so your true self shines through. I never leave you wondering what to do next because I will teach you the poses and looks that work best. It’s by working together, as a team, that we will create portraits that show your confidence and personality. And in the process, we’ll have an enjoyable, fun photo shoot that you will remember forever.” ~Steven

    Easy, professional, good value and great pics! That’s what we wanted.

  • Sarah BSarah BHigh school senior portrait photography

    Getting my pictures taken by him was an absolute pleasure! He made it fun while keeping it professional. His photos are amazing. He did my graduation photos and I can't say anything bad about them!

  • Martha V.Martha V.Professional Headshots

    Working with Steven was amazing. Not only was he very professional, but very patient with some of the nursing students. We used him for our nursing pictures and honestly couldn't have gotten a better person for the job.

  • Lorna GLorna GPet Portrait Photography

    I saw some of the wonderful dog photos taken by Bourelle Photography on FB. I heard about a fundraiser for HOPE Safehouse, which involved getting a photo of my puppy, Jackpot, and made time for this. To be honest, I wasn't sure if my energetic puppy could be sit enough for a photo. Steven and crew were so good, and the photo of Jackpot is terrific! Very impressive.

  • Tim B.Tim B.Professional Headshots

    Steven was great to work with. We'd never done a photoshoot before, and he walked us through the process. He was patient while coaching us, and it was obvious from the beginning that his primary concern was our satisfaction. He drove a fair distance just for our shoot, and offered to come back for a second session if we ended up not liking the results. No second visit needed, we got exactly what we needed.

  • Laura U.Laura U.High school senior portrait photography

    We were scheduled on a Saturday and Mr. Bourelle was unable to make the appt, he called me as soon as he could and rescheduled the next day. Turned out to be a nicer day for outdoor pictures and the shots that he showed me were very good. He climbed around trees and logs to get the best shots. He took shots that I wanted as well as ones he thought would look best. I was very happy with the way our appointment went. I would recommend him to anyone needing pictures taken.

  • David G.David G.Professional Headshots

    I set up a remote shoot in Illinois from Florida on very short notice. Steve made it easy. He was prompt to respond to coordination communications and helped to accommodate my schedule. He showed up right on time, put the subjects at ease (they had fun), took some great shots, edited them and got them back to me as promised, on schedule and in very good form. I am very pleased with the outcome.

  • Jenny WJenny WHigh school senior portrait photography

    Steven Bourelle is an incredibly talented photographer who definitely has an eye to capture the perfect pose for a great picture! Especially difficult shots with a horse that's always on the move. I chose Bourelle Photography to take senior pictures for my daughter based on the wonderful reviews and I'm so happy I did! Steven made the whole experience comfortable and fun in every way. I look forward to having him come back to take senior pictures of my son when he becomes a proud senior. Thank you again Steven!

  • Michael SMichael SProfessional Headshots

    He was very professional and incredibly punctual with his communications. I am not generally comfortable with the headshot process, but he very quickly alleviated my apprehension. I was also very pleased and impressed with how quickly I received the finished work.

  • Lorry WLorry WHigh school senior portrait photography

    We had Steven take my daughter's senior pictures. We wanted the pictures taken outside and he met us at the location we wanted. He took several pictures and different poses. Steven listened to our suggestions for different poses. The pictures turned out great! Steven was very friendly and easy to work with. I would definitely recommend Steven for your photography needs!
