We have had an opportunity to work with Steven for many years and I would choose no other photographer to take those special pictures of my family. From newborn, baptism, Christmas, Easter and family portraits, the results are always perfect. It is such a pleasure to work with him. With four children, a photo session could be very stressful. However, Steven takes that stress away for a parent. His is patient, sincere, kind and funny. I enjoy doing business with him and I look forward to more beautiful portraits of my family.

When I saw the infant pictures displayed in the Labor and Delivery unit at Cape Fear Valley Health System, I was amazed. I was about six months pregnant at the time and knew that I had to have this photographer capture moments in the life of my infant. Our session was a wonderful experience and the pictures turned out beautifully and are priceless to my family. Steven has a wonderful gift for capturing the innocence of infants.

Steven has been taking portraits of our family for years, and from the very first portrait he captured the soul of our family. There isn’t one person that walks into our home that doesn’t ask where we had our portraits done. Our family has special needs and he has gone above and beyond those needs without being asked. It is because of his special touch that we can look at those portraits from over the years and go back to the moment in time that they were taken and that is truly priceless.

Steven Ashmore has done a beautiful job of capturing my family at some of the most wonderful moments in time. Every time I see my newborn photographs of my twins, it is as if I am seeing my children for the first time, evoking that strong love and emotion that every new mother feels. He has been able to secure precious moments of their childhood and my family through his portraits that I will always have to love and cherish. During portrait sessions, Steven has always been patient and easy-going, captivating the unique attributes of each child and the strong love my husband and I share. He pays special attention to the specific details of your portraits, whether it is to make sure the room temperature is warm enough for a newborn or the sunlight will be a perfect setting for your family portraits. My experience overall with Steven Ashmore has been positive and I am extremely grateful for capturing some of the most beautiful, heartwarming emotions of my family through his photography.

The gift of a child is a blessing that many people will experience at some point in their lives. Steven has given us a wonderful gift by capturing the personalities of our children in his portraits. His ability to instantly form a bond with a child sets the child at ease and allows him to take a genuine portrait that isn’t forced or faked. It is a moment in time that has been paused, put on canvas and given to me to cherish forever.

In today’s fast paced world we are often left grasping to hang onto every precious moment with family. Memories sometime become crowded with the hectic lifestyles we lead. Our family could not feel more blessed that we have found Steven. He has truly perfected his art, and in doing so has provided us with breath-taken portraits. I would not trust anyone else with our families most lasting moments. They are so much more than beautiful photos, as Steven is so much more than a brilliant photographer.

I recommend Portraits by Steven to everyone! The photographer Steven Ashmore and his lovely wife are absolutely wonderful people. Before the photo session I was able to explain the atmosphere, backdrop, and natural poses I desired.

Then, at the actual session everything was perfect. My family and I were at ease and able to act natural. Mr. Ashmore also interacted very easily with my year old son and was able to make him smile while also capturing him in his natural and curious state. Anyone with a toddler knows how quickly toddler’s expressions and patience can change. But Mr. Ashmore and his wife certainly rose to the challenge. That helped to make the photo shoot so much fun.

Once I saw the finished portraits I nearly cried. Portraits by Steven had captured my family perfectly. The entire experience felt more like my family had found a lifelong friend instead of just another run of the mill photo studio. That is why the portraits we have will be cherished. I will definitely continue to use Portraits by Steven to record my growing family and memories.

Steven's work takes my breath away. He captures the sparkle of every eye and the joy of every smile. When reviewing the pictures from our session, I fell in love with my family over and over again. He is very patient and laid back, exactly what we needed each time with our children! We went back to him because the quality of his portraits are like no other. I love his simple and classy style. Him and his wife were very helpful on portrait day to assist in any way we needed. We will be back and I'd recommend his work to anyone!

Our business worked with Steven to create corporate head shots and group pictures. We were very pleased with the experience, the quick turnaround, and the quality of work!

Steven Ashmore is an excellent Photographer for family portraits. He is very creative in his ideas and very open to his clients ideas for well composed portraits. I recommend him to anyone wanting a very high quality portrait for your special occassion or in my case to celebrate the love between my son and I. I hired him to take our portraits when my son was first born and he does superior work with infant's a children. I then hired him again when my son was 8 and had just started to play baseball. The portraits were stunningly beautiful!! Well worth the investment.

My family and I have utilized Steven Ashmore as our primary photographer for several years. He is a true expert that exceeds expectations and offers great value. We have leveraged Steven's versatile expertise to produce cherished family pictures, creative holiday pictures of our children and executive pictures for our professional spaces. Steven is a true artist that I can recommend without any reservations.

We absolutely loved the baby pictures that Steven took of our first daughter, so much that we went back to him when we had our twins 2 years later. He is amazing at working with babies, and children- very patient and somehow knows how to get the perfect shot. We were very pleased with how the pictures turned out.
