Empty file when sending an email with Attachment

Question

I'm trying to send an emil with Attachment using Postal framework for MVC.

I can send e-mails with Postal without problem, however, when I try send an e-mail with attachment, the files goes empty.

Here is my code:

dynamic emailNovoOrcamento = new Email("OrcamentosServicos/NotificaNovoOrcamento");
emailNovoOrcamento.To = usuario.UsuEmail;
emailNovoOrcamento.From = "no-reply@servicili.com";
emailNovoOrcamento.Subject = "Test...";

ContentType conteudo = new ContentType();
conteudo.MediaType = MediaTypeNames.Image.Jpeg;
conteudo.Name = "userPhoto.jpg";

Attachment imagemDestinatario = new Attachment(new getUserPhotoStream(usuario), conteudo);
emailNovoOrcamento.Attachments.Add(imagemDestinatario);
emailNovoOrcamento.Send();

getUserPhotoStream is a method that converts a byte[] to a Stream:

public MemoryStream getUserPhotoStream(byte[] photo)
{
    MemoryStream imagemStream = new MemoryStream();
    Image imagem;
    MemoryStream imagemUsuarioStream = new MemoryStream(photo);

        imagem = Image.FromStream(imagemUsuarioStream);
        imagem.Save(imagemStream, ImageFormat.Jpeg);
        return imagemStream;
    }
}

When I send it via Email, the file size is 0kb.

What am I doing wrong?

Set the position of the stream to 0 before using it:

// ...
imagem.Save(imagemStream, ImageFormat.Jpeg);
imagemStream.Position = 0;
return imagemStream;
