Description
My name is Stephanie DeFranco and I was born and raised in Roswell, NM. I’ve been a full-time photographer since 2017 and haven’t looked back since. Creating photos and watching people come to life in front of my camera is a feeling I wouldn’t change for the world.
I started creating toy photography in 2020 during the pandemic as an outlet for my creativity. I found that I could use similar lighting and posing techniques to bring my favorite characters to life in ways that aren’t normally possible because of the fandoms and worlds they reside. I love being a storyteller and being able to create stories from characters that already have a backstory really drew me into the world of toy photography.
I’m currently living in New Mexico with my two cats, Jasmine and Ella, but traveling is my passion. I want to be able to experience new culture and document life as I live in that moment. A few other random facts about me: I love coconut iced coffee. I have a passion for thrifting and creating outfits from recycled fashion. And when I’m not behind my camera or on the road, you can find me on my couch streaming Disney+ or listening to my books on audible.
