6. Steinmetz Photography
Steinmetz Photography is an enormous outfit of multiple photographers based in West Springfield. They have a massive body of work, including food and commercial photography, senior portraits, professional headshots, and weddings. While their work is quite varied, that’s not to say they don’t offer top-notch services – because they do. Unsurprisingly, Steinmetz Photography is available by appointment only.
While Steinmetz’s chops (in food photography terms) aren’t as stellar as others on this list, they’ve done quite a bit of good work for local restaurants and brands. They keep things local rather than opting to aim for editorial or publication food photography, and that’s okay. If you need a local’s touch (and a keen eye for detail), Steinmetz Photography will likely be your best bet to highlight that mouthwatering dish or delicious drink.

Unsurprisingly, she is exclusively available via appointment.
We mentioned that Leah C-S has a vast portfolio – and she does. Our focus today is on her food photography; it highlights not just the food and drinks, but the people who make them.
