“Stela has such a passion for capturing the most intimate moments of her subjects. She is insanely good at making magic work. Stela has a talent for making everyone feel at ease, even the hubby, and gives direction well and with a great sense of humor. There’s a reason why we keep coming back to this world-class photographer: her dedication to produce the best possible photographs is inspiring and moving. Immortalizing my family by Stela has been the best gift I have given my children.”

“Working with Stela was easy breezy... (she really made me feel like a CoverGirl! lol) Her professionalism showed in every part of the journey, from explaining to me all the preliminary studio set-ups to guiding me on how to move every inch to my body. That gave me confidence to be myself in front of the camera, but most importantly for her to capture authentic portraits. Thanks a million for the experience and I can't wait for our next session!”

“This is the second time that I have worked with Stela for my professional photo shoot and I`ve been impressed both times. She was very diligent in ensuring we got the best possible shots that I would personally like, whilst still preserving the professionalism, lighting and overall quality and look of the pictures. Stela is also very easy to work with personally, ensuring you feel instantly comfortable and relaxed in her presence to really get the best poses and positions required.”

“Stela created timeless memories that will be cherished for a lifetime. Not only will we get to look back on these photos as the day before our firstborn arrived, but our daughter will also have these photos to reflect on and see what mama looked like with her in her belly! Working with Stela was incredibly seamless - she helped create a warm environment, kept the session fun and relaxing, and not once did it feel like we were posing. We will be back for more photos and highly recommend her!”

Stela`s friendliness, patience and wonderful direction gave me the confidence I needed to be in front of the camera as I have never enjoyed having my picture taken and have always struggled getting a good shot.
