Insanely brave in revealing so much about herself, even the bits most of us would find embarrassing. Through her photography, Stefanie shows us that she's a survivor who embraces life. How can you not fall in love with her smile and joy at such simple things as blow drying her hair? She continues to expose her belly to us, open and vulnerable, and at once demonstrates her strength and frailty and beauty and rough edges, her hope for each day and her fear that she'll fall. I'm blessed to have stumbled upon her photos and to have learned her story.

Hmm... I want to write something awesome and profound about Stef, but all I can think of is how I have grown to love her through her photos and through her raw exposure of her inner being, her truths and ideals and yes, sometimes flaws - it all boils down to the fact that she is real and true and wonderful.

Hmm... I want to write something awesome and profound about Stef, but all I can think of is how I have grown to love her through her photos and through her raw exposure of her inner being, her truths and ideals and yes, sometimes flaws - it all boils down to the fact that she is real and true and wonderful. I hope someday to be in NY sipping lemonade with her on a stoop somewhere, watching kids play in the rain. Or maybe she'll treat me to a visit here in Pittsburgh! (hint, hint) Rock on, Stef! You touch many lives!

Stefanie's photos often depict the most ordinary things, but they have such heart, and that elevates them to extraordinary. That extra...something...in her photos says something not just about the technique but, more importantly, about the photographer, through whose vision we learn about life in New York, and life in general.

Photography is all about human expression; a good photograph has nothing to do fancy gadgets or intricate techniques. Stefanie gives us conclusive proof for that. Insightful words, quirky images, seemingly simple shots, articulated or subtly stated opinions, NY in-jokes (which I don't always get) and loads of style … Read more

Photography is all about human expression; a good photograph has nothing to do fancy gadgets or intricate techniques. Stefanie gives us conclusive proof for that. Insightful words, quirky images, seemingly simple shots, articulated or subtly stated opinions, NY in-jokes (which I don't always get) and loads of style and attitude - that is what you see in her stream. Her stream is not for picture postcard seekers; you have to be here and now and willing to look closely. And did I mention that all this seriousness goes with lots of humour! Yes, it does. Do dive in. It will be worth it.

Through stefanie’s eyes I get to see glimpses of the amazing and diverse life where she lives. A young ballerina, the streets of NYC, and subway shots that reveal her keen eye. She catches what most overlook. From her unique perspectives, I learn about people, you and I. Stefanie’s work is intelligent, fun, and full of… Read more

Through stefanie’s eyes I get to see glimpses of the amazing and diverse life where she lives. A young ballerina, the streets of NYC, and subway shots that reveal her keen eye. She catches what most overlook. From her unique perspectives, I learn about people, you and I. Stefanie’s work is intelligent, fun, and full of compassion. What a marvelous gift to share.
