About Sof Kapa Photography | Melbourne Family, Food, Event & Travel Photographer

about me

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

Ninh Binh, Vietnam

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

Lisbon Cocktail Bar

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
