Welcome to Stephanie Damstetter Photography, where capturing moments that last forever is our top priority. I am Stephanie, a professional and passionate photographer with over 12 years of experience in the industry. I am joined by my partner, Dave, who has been shooting alongside me since 2018, and together we have captured over half a million pictures. We are located in Buffalo New York but LOVE to travel!
Our approach to photography is simple yet powerful. We believe in capturing candid moments that are unique to each individual and family, and we strive to make each photo session a comfortable and enjoyable experience.
What sets us apart from others is our team approach. Having two photographers during your session ensures that no moment goes uncaptured and that you have a variety of perspectives to choose from. Our clients rave about our professionalism and easy-going personalities, making us a joy to work with.
When we're not behind the lens, you can find us exploring unique Airbnb's and trying different coffee blends from around the world.
We are excited to meet you and capture your special moments. Thank you for following us on our journey so far, and we look forward to what the future holds.
Dave & Stephanie
Testimonials
We could not be happier with our experience and our photos! From start to finish, Stephanie was absolutely amazing — patient, kind, and so wonderful with our son. A cake smash with a baby can be unpredictable, but she made the entire session feel relaxed and fun, capturing his personality perfectly.
The family photos were just as special. She gave gentle direction while still letting moments happen naturally, which resulted in beautiful, genuine images that we will treasure forever. The final photos exceeded our expectations — the lighting and attention to detail were flawless.
We are so grateful for the care and talent she put into this session. If you’re looking for someone who is professional, incredibly talented, and truly cares about capturing meaningful moments, we cannot recommend her highly enough! Stephanie is amazing and the entire session was so incredibly fun! - Lauren M
Testimonials
Stephanie and Dave were wonderful to work with! They captured our wedding day and we couldn’t have asked for better photos. Not only did the photos turn out amazing and we were given thousands of them but Stephanie and Dave put their all into making sure our special day was perfect. They showed up early and left late to make sure that they were prepared and that they could capture all of the special moments. There was constant communication leading up to the big day so my mind was always at ease and they gave us a beautiful gift afterwards! If you’re looking for a photographer for your wedding day or for any special occasion really, I highly recommend Stephanie. - Dina & Nick
Testimonials
I am still in shock over this photoshoot. I did a boudoir shoot with Stephanie and it really helped me see the beauty in myself. I was so nervous, I've never had professional photos taken of myself, but Stephanie blew it out of the park with her kind words and helpful pointers. It took no time at all for me to be comfortable and the shots she got of me are breath taking. I still feel like an absolute goddess.
She took her time, was so patient with me and my questions. She Had great ideas (and made my crazy ideas work) and the studio was a safe space and very welcoming. The communication throughout the entire process with Stephanie was so easy and fast. She was very transparent about everything from pricing to scheduling and everything in between.
Her creativity really shown through my pictures and I'm already planning on doing another shoot.
Stephanie made everything perfect, from setting up for my hair and make up to get done, posing and being myself, to editing my photos really quickly. I feel that every lady needs a boudoir photoshoot in their life to feel amazing in their own skin and Stephanie is the best option ! -J.Z
