Steve J. Rosenfield

I was born in Boston, MA and now reside in Davis, CA. I’m an avid rock climber, and this is where I found my love for photography and video. I enjoy all types of shots whether it be sports, weddings, head shots, or live music.
Music is one of my passions and you can find me on the road, in the photo pit or on stage capturing bands such as,
Michael Franti and Spearhead, Trevor Hall, Dispatch, John Butler Trio, Atmosphere, The Beautiful Girls, Xavier Rudd and many more.

I can document any event you like; family/senior portraits, weddings, special events, or even your animals.. I also do commission work.

I currently do all my shoots at the location of your choice. If you do not have a place in mind, I can help find the perfect location for you. If needed, I also have access to a studio in Sacramento, CA. I’ve shot from PA to MA and BC to CA. If you need me to travel to you, let me know the details and we will try our best to make it happen.
If you’re nervous about getting your picture taken, you can expect a nice, comfortable, and relaxing atmosphere during your shoot/event with me.
