Hi there!

My name is Sthefanie and I am a Portrait Photographer here in Rochester NY. I specialize in Maternity, Baby & Family Portraits. I was born and raised in the South of Brazil and moved to the US in 2004 for High School. I ended up loving Rochester and making it my new home.

I began my journey with a camera in my hands approximately in the year of 2006. I have always loved photography and I started working as a professional photographer on April 2012. I studied at St. John Fisher College and graduated with a Business & Finance Degree but continued on with my love for Photography. It was never my intention to do anything other than run my own Photography Business.

I am a mama of a little boy and a little girl and I am a wife. Other than spending some of my time behind the camera or behind the computer editing, I love spending time with my family and adventuring around the world with them. There's nothing more special to me than being able to see them grow and we are sure to capture many memories in our backyard or during our adventures. As a mama, being in photos with my kids means a lot to me and its my goal to make sure that all mamas everywhere are also photographed. Lets capture your love, your family!


Testimonials

“Sthefanie was phenomenal. She provided our maternity pictures and newborn pictures for our third child. She worked well with our 2 year old and got him to smile in his pictures. She worked quickly to complete our photos. She truly has an eye for photography and took amazing pictures embracing the elements and even climbing trees to take the perfect picture.”

“I began searching for photographers as soon as I found out I was pregnant. I looked at every photographer carefully before calling Sthefanie. She is a true artist. Her pictures look like they belong in a magazine. Rochester is very lucky to have someone with big city talent tucked away right here at home. The session was very fun and relaxed, she has an abundance of dresses and props and makes you feel very comfortable before and after the shot. Our pictures came out more beautiful then we could have im”
