Hey friend! Iā€™m Sophia,

Iā€™m a Minnesota-based luxury wedding and senior photographer, but honestly ā€” I like to think of myself more as a storyteller, here to capture the real, joy-filled moments that make your story uniquely yours.

Photography, to me, is so much more than pretty pictures. Itā€™s about freezing those in-between moments ā€” the quiet glance, the belly laugh, the tear slipping down your cheek ā€” and preserving them for a lifetime. When you look back at your photos, I want you to feel the emotions all over again, not just see them.

What makes my heart beat faster in this work is simple: my faith, my love for people, and my passion for serving well. I donā€™t just show up with a camera; I show up with purpose, with prayer, and with a deep desire to create something meaningful for you. I believe every story deserves to be told with authenticity and intention ā€” and Iā€™m so honored to be a part of yours.

I carry Colossians 3:23-24 close to my heart in everything I do:
"Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters..."

Photography is a gift God has given me, and itā€™s my joy to use it to shine His light and love through every image I create.

When Iā€™m not behind the camera, youā€™ll find me soaking up slow mornings with coffee in hand, teaching dance, or spending sweet time with family and friends. Iā€™m a big believer that lifeā€™s most beautiful moments are often the simplest ones ā€” and thatā€™s exactly what I hope to capture for you.

I truly canā€™t wait to meet you, hear your story, and freeze some of lifeā€™s sweetest moments together. Letā€™s create something beautiful and lasting ā€” something that feels just like you.

Blessings,
Sophia

Testimonials

  • "Where do we even begin?! We had the honor to have Sophia capture our wedding day and wow oh wow she is amazing. She has a gift that is truly special and we are so grateful that she was a part of our big day. You can tell she loves what she does and it shows in her work. It can always be a bit awkward to get professional pictures but Sophia made us feel so comfortable and allowed us to be our true selves. Her energy, excitement, and kindness made us feel confident and we had so much fun working with her. As a wedding day can fly by, Sophia made sure to capture the smallest of details to all the joy, happiness, magic, and love that was present on our special day. We are so honored that Sophia joined us on our day and captured the moments that we will get to have for the rest of our lives."

  • Sophia came so prepared with pose ideas and locations to move around to within the venue! She made it so fun and easy to just be ourselves and then was able to capture really authentic moments of us!! She gave us sneaks peaks that SAME day (which is not the norm) and it was so fun to have that immediate gratification. I was sick when we originally scheduled our shoot and she was able to find a replacement second hand for our last-minute reschedule, which made for some amazing content. Sophia goes above and beyond, cares about her clients, collaborates to make it exactly what you hoped for, and truly puts so much thought into her work so you can just enjoy the session!

    Kaylee Fandre - Aiko Package

  • BOOK THIS WOMAN! Sophia truly was the best, she made everyone feel comfortable around the camera and ensured that my vision came to life. She was beyond professional and every guest came to me after to share how much they enjoyed Sophia and her photos. She was prompt with sneak peeks, stuck to the schedule better than I did, and ensured I was happy with everything. I cannot wait to see the rest of our photos and hope our paths cross again! It was as if I was working with a friend I had known for years!

    Michaela E. - Destination Wedding Package

  • "Sophia's communication prior to the session was great! As for the engagement session itself, we could not have asked for anyone better to capture us as a couple. She made us feel comfortable and it felt natural and not forced! She had the best hidden gem of a spot for golden hour photos! We loved our session! Highly recommend Sophia!"

    Kate M - Aiko Package

  • My experience with Sophia was exceptional. Not only was she prepared for our session, but she was creative and super adaptable to the groups requests/vision. She made our shoot so fun and personable and I would highly recommend her!

    Hannah Fox - Grad Package

  • "Sophia is AMAZING!!! My husband and I both are not great in front of the camera but Sophia makes you feel so comfortable and gives you prompts to make you feel comfortable! We could not recommend her enough! For all future photos we need done, we will be calling Sophia!"

    Abbey & Jayden - Aiko Package

  • "Sophia is absolutely amazing. She did our engagement session and wedding- both experiences left us in awe of her creativity, energy, and professionalism. Her timeline for wedding day was not only executed perfectly but also sent to us in such a pretty format! Again, showing her attention to detail! Sophia did outstanding getting all the shots we wanted while working with a "tighter" timeline of a 5pm ceremony- first touch, family photos after ceremony, sunset photos, candids, and more, we truly got everything we dreamed of! As a plus size bride I was worried I would feel insecure during our sessions but let me tell you, I had the most fun and was instantly comfortable!! Our big focus on choosing a photographer was finding someone who could take charge but do so professionally. Sophia was exceptional at this and we received endless compliments about her as well as many guests asking us for her info to book with her! We absolutely loved working with Sophia and can't wait to work with her again. She feels like a close friend to us and we couldn't have picked anyone better to spend one of the best days of our lives with! šŸ’“"
