TESTIMONIALS

Stephanie is an absolute pleasure to work with. She goes above and beyond to get the picture. I found her on The Knot ,and the first time I talked to her, I knew she was good. When I met her, it was like we had know each other for years, and I knew she was great ! On our wedding day, she made my husband and I feel comfortable, she was timely, she was beyond professional. One of my guests made the comment she was everywhere, but she was never intrusive.
If you want great pictures, Stephanie Petersen is the right person to call .

Stephanie is absolutely wonderful in what she does! The pictures came out perfect and it was such enjoyable experience from beginning to end! My high school Senior is so happy! Thank you Stephanie! I can really tell she enjoys what she does and it reflects in her energy and creativity. Couldn’t recommend her more!

Stephanie Petersen at Petersen Photography, LLC is far and away the best photographer in Kentucky. Stephanie is a true artist who takes great care and precision with each of her photographs. She has a bright, bubbly personality that makes you happy just to be in her presence- and this transfers to genuine happy smiles in your photographs.

Your photo shoot with Stephanie will be an experience. She knows that you are celebrating a milestone in your life, and she is right there celebrating with you and wants to give you the best picture memories of your day. She will stop at nothing to get the perfect photo, and she has an amazing eye for what will make the perfect shot. I have worked with many photographers, from my own wedding, friends weddings, and family christening photographs. Not one of them can hold a candle to Stephanie. Her energy, expertise, and dedication to her work is second to none. Stephanie’s photographs are art, and you will cherish them for a lifetime!

It was such a fun experience getting to work with Stephanie. She took into account my ideas for my senior pictures, and she found ways to incorporate them in our session. Sooooo easy to work with her! Quick to respond to any questions or concerns. Definitely worth every penny for the beautiful artwork. 10 out of 10, would recommend!!!

We went to Petersen Photography for senior pictures. Stephanie Petersen is a lovely, professional, person whom somehow was able to make my son comfortable in front of a camera (which is amazing). The photographs she was able to capture are beautiful, crisp, clear, colorful, and her artful eye is amazing. The senior album and individual photos we purchased are simply of the highest quality. I’m grateful for her talented skills and high quality products she promotes. I highly recommend her.

**A MUST READ**
One word for Peterson Photography.... AMAZING! I just know that God lead me and my daughter to her for her senior portrait session. Well, that is what is was supposed to be but it turned into a truly more of a memorable personal experience for my daughter and a family experience for me, my husband and daughter. This was our baby and only daughter's senior year and she had big plans for going to prom in a beautiful gown, going on a senior trip, taking beautiful senior pictures, and of course her high school graduation. This was all cancelled due to COVID. We had bought her a beautiful dress for prom and she was devastated no one would see her in it but us. We decided to proceed with getting at least senior pictures once the restrictions were lifted to try to capture her the way she looked as a senior. I looked online and was just at a lost who to select because I needed to make sure these pictures were amazing and that it was a good experience for my daughter. I live in Elizabethtown, Kentucky but with the google reviews and pictures of the work I saw that Stephanie(owner of Peterson Photography who lives in Shelbyville, KY) had done I decided distance wasn't an issue. Sure it would have been great to have someone local for me and my husband's convenience but my daughter had been inconvenienced for her senior year and it wasn't about me and my husband. So, I reached out to Stephanie for information as well as two other photographers in case with the timing that Stephanie wouldn't be able to to do our portraits.
Let me say for the very first conversation I had with Stephanie I felt her passion for her work and her empathy for my daughter's senior year situation. She wanted to have a part in making her senior year be something memorable on a positive note. We met with Stephanie so she could speak to my daughter find out more about her and what she liked as a person so she make her photography session be about her and capture her in her element. She picked right up that my daughter is a GLAM GIRL. So, she picked locations that matched her as person. She even paid for a special location herself so my daughter could take pics in her prom dress in a glamorous setting. She kept it as a surprise for her until we went for the photographs. She helped her with ideas of what would look best for pictures and reminded her to have everything ironed/prepared...down to accessories.
Excitement had built up for my daughter and us for her big picture day. This had given my daughter something to look forward to and to smile about for her senior year. When we went to the photography session Stephanie's focus was spot on and precise with lighting and set up as well as the guidance and direction she gave my daughter in order to capture AMAZING pictures. My daughter was truly delighted by the special location, The Gastby. in Shelbyville. It was glamorous and she was extremely grateful as were me and my husband for the thoughtfulness of Stephanie to do this. Stephanie took us to several locations and made sure that we got the shots she wanted and the shots we wanted for my daughter. She gave my daughter so much confidence and reassurance. Her self esteem seemed to be lifted from all of the wonderful, kind, and sincere comments that Stephanie shared.
When the pictures came back I don't know who was more excited Stephanie or my daughter. She took such pride in her work and such concern and interest in making sure my daughter would be happy with the finished work. The viewing session was AMAZING too. We then placed our orders and she made that process so easy. She was patient and helpful when needed in choosing the pictures and the items we wished to order. We received the actual prints and other picture items and they were even more AMAZING than the online prints. She had everything gift wrapped or in gift bags. Stephanie even had a gift for my daughter and family. I know that God sent her to us to remind us that He can use even bad situations and turn it for our good. She is AMAZING!

I would recommend Stephanie if you are looking not only for quality and professional pictures, but someone who can make you feel at ease and brings out the best in the one she is photographing. She done my daughters senior pictures and we love them. They were postponed because of Covid-19 but Stephanie made the effort to make the day extra special for my senior. Thanks Stephanie!

Great experience! Awesome to work with. Believe me when I say, I am very difficult when it comes to taking photos. I hate to see myself in pictures, but Stephanie made it a very easy and very comfortable. Thank you so much!

We were so excited to get my daughters senior pictures taken.  Stephanie did such an amazing job.  The pictures turned out better than we ever imagined.  She is very passionate and does excellent work with excellent customer service.

I had a personal branding session yesterday with Stephanie and it was AMAZING. She is extremely understanding and compassionate. Together we worked to capture my brand and the feeling I want my audience to experience. Stephanie went above and beyond for my session. She is passionate about doing anything and everything to make sure she gets the right shot and she creates an experience in which you won't be disappointed! I can't wait to see the finals from this session!

Brinlee LOVED working with Stephanie, and is so excited!  After a photoshoot with Stephanie, she has asked me a thousand times if she can model, LOL!  Brinlee's portriats turned out GREAT, we LOVE them!  Thank you Stephanie, you did a great job! 

Our whole family loves Izzy’s pictures!  And Izzy loves them, and when a teenager loves them that is a miracle!  I have had so many people tell me that want you to take their son/daughter’s senior pictures. Oh, and we absolutely love the metal print, the gloss is perfect and the colors are amazing, it is the perfect print that we will cherish forever!  We found a perfect spot for it, I walk by it 100 times a day.  Thanks again, we will cherish these for many years to come!

Stephanie is an excellent photographer! She is focused on making sure your portraits capture YOU! She has a natural ability to make a nervous subject relax and enjoy the session. I found the time flies by cause you’re having fun together. I would definitely recommend Stephanie for any type of subject or event you want to capture in a perfectly timed snapshot. She will do all she can to seal your memories with an excellent photograph delivered to you on the perfect medium. She thinks outside of the box as she captures you in the frame. Thanks for my fabulous headshots!!!

Her photos are amazing! More importantly she takes time with you to figure out what you want. She is a true blessing to any bride or anyone wanting quality photographs!

Stephanie truly captures the essence of one’s personality in her pictures. She made Brandon’s senior picture session so fun for him and captured wonderful memories that we will cherish for a lifetime! I highly recommend her to anyone wanting to have the very best!

I had a session with Stephanie last weekend and I cannot say enough about how amazing the experience was with her. I sent her a list of pictures I wanted to capture and she got them all and more. She’s amazing, she’s compassionate, I felt like she listened to my needs/wants, and she did whatever she needed to, to capture the shot. She makes you feel very welcomed and comfortable! Our time was magical and I cannot wait to see this session! (My husband grabbed a shot of her in action!)

Stephanie is always a pleasure to work with!  She has collaborated with us for business photos, captured very personal moments for my family and recently worked with me on real estate photos for the sale of our home!  I cannot thank her enough for the professionalism and quality she brings in a timely manner!  We love that we have an awesome photographer for any job needed! 

Over the last month I teamed up with one of the best in the business to capture shots for my website. They are simply amazing. This lady is a perfectionist. She got some amazing shots (btw this has never been my thing, I always feel like I look awkward). Thank you from the bottom of my heart Petersen Photography for making my dreams come true!

I used Petersen Photography to do my daughter's senior pictures. Stephanie had some great ideas for locations around town. She was even willing to go out of town to any location that I suggested. She worked around my daughter's work and basketball schedule. When the pictures were ready we went to her house to pick out the ones we wanted. It was like being in a professional studio...she had the pics loaded on her 60 inch TV complete with a music presentation. She had quite a few packages to choose from and the price was very reasonable. She had great suggestions on picture sizes and texture. When we picked the pictures up, we were very satisfied with what we purchased. I would recommend Stephanie 100%.

It was an AWESOME experience from the beginning to the end. Every single picture and pose was great! Lakken was more than excited about her senior pictures and the experience Stephanie provided for her.
