About
I believe that pictures tell a story. My goal is to capture the personality and essence of my models and subjects. I am an artist and approach everything I do with an eye to detail. I am different because I offer copyright-free digital images rather than print packages. I work with other professionals such as hair & makeup artists and videographers to bring you the best package prices for you your needs.
I am passionate about my art and committed to your complete satisfaction. I make portrait sessions fun (even for the reluctant model) and my photo sessions are quick and efficient for those who have time constraints.
The people in front of my camera are important. Great pictures are a team effort. A blend of their ideas and mine. My goal is to capture each person's unique style and personality.
Sometimes people will ruin your Kodak moment, or there is unavoidable background scenery in candid photo shots... I am skilled with editing software and I edit your photos for maximum appeal. It's part of the service I provide because I take pride and pleasure in my craft and I want to provide you with the best pictures possible.
I love working with people. I love photos and the memories that they preserve. I am thrilled that I can help others record their special moments.
Portrait photography is definitely one of my favorite types of photos because I can show my models how they look through my eye. It is gratifying to see the joy or awe that my pictures can bring them. Taking great photographs is a challenge in that I am constantly learning new techniques. Finding new ideas and perspectives is exciting.

The pictures came out beautifully!! Sonia helped my niece feel relaxed and comfortable. We had fun with the pictures. Sonia was very respectful, professional and I would recommend her for any photos. It was a wonderful experience.

I really loved Sonia’s work—from the photo session itself to seeing the final results. She arrived on time at the agreed location, introduced herself, and was friendly and fun throughout the session, always looking for the best angles and spots to get great photos. She also made sure the photos turned out exactly how we liked them.
Details: Family or children's portrait • Candid (captured in the moment) • Natural / environmental (photographed in an outdoor setting) • Outdoors • At the pro’s location • My home, venue, etc.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I do have a pricing system based on the number of hours of the photo shoot and the amount of editing work that may be needed after.
Different people have different incomes, however, and I like to be flexible in order to bless those who would like professional service without breaking the bank.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I like to have a consult, either in person or over the phone, in order to find out exactly what the customer wants and expects and to see if I am the right fit for their needs.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have been taking pictures all of my adult life. I research books and the internet for techniques and ideas or to answer questions that come up. I am taking an online course from the New York Institute of Photography. My artistic talent manifests in many ways from drawing to sand sculptures and I pay attention to details. Details are everything.
