Someone who sees the way your kid tugs your sleeve when they’re tired. Who notices the way the light hits your café counter just before the morning rush. Who’s tuned into the moments that would usually slip by

Hey, I’m Sof. Czech-Portuguese, based in Melbourne, and interested in the moments that don’t ask for attention — but deserve it anyway
Photography didn’t start as a career. It started as curiosity. I grew up moving countries, and somewhere between Cape Verde and what was meant to be a one-year backpacking trip around Australia, I picked up a camera and never really put it down
It’s how I tune in — with people, places and, most of all, moments
When COVID grounded everything, I swapped plane tickets for café shifts and, as things got back to "normal", I started capturing the energy of venues, food, and the people behind them
I also built this website from scratch (thanks to a deep dive into coding with the legends at the Institute of Code), and focused on what’s always felt right — honest, human storytelling
Gradually, that led me into portrait photography — and a few years and 600 families later, here we are. I’ve been lucky to work with babies and parents all over Melbourne, from hospital rooms to cozy homes to wild outdoor spots
Because whether it’s tiny toes or big, messy milestones — it’s all part of the story and worth capturing
Whether it’s home, business or somewhere far off
— I’ll frame it in a way that sticks
Don’t just take my word for it — here’s what it feels like on the other side of the lens
I want this too!
