I never wanted to just take photos. I wanted to tell stories.


Stories of real, breathtaking, once-in-a-lifetime love. Stories where you don’t feel like you’re performing for the camera—but like your true, unfiltered selves.

But too often, I heard couples say:

"We don’t want to feel like we’re being put into a box."





And that’s when I knew


Every couple is different, and your photos should reflect that. I specialize in posing couples in a way that feels authentic, natural, and true to their connection—never forced or stiff. Whether it’s playful, intimate, adventurous, or something in between, I guide you in a way that feels effortless and real.


I also know how important it is for LGBTQ+ couples to feel truly seen. Too often, queer couples are directed into traditional, straight-coded poses that don’t reflect their love or dynamic. 







Love isn’t one-size-fits-all, and your wedding photography shouldn’t be either. Whether you're exchanging vows on a mountaintop, wrapped up in each other’s arms, or sharing a quiet moment before the ceremony. 




With a true-to-color, storytelling-driven style, I focus on the in-between moments—the glances, the laughter, the way you hold each other when no one’s watching.

Because years from now, when you look back at your wedding photos…













I want you to feel it all over again.

"We just want our photos to feel like us. not something staged or forced."

this industry needed more.

as a queer photographer,

That’s why I’ve made it a priority to create a space where every couple-queer or straight—feels fully themselves in front of the camera.

I’m there to capture the way it feels, not just the way it looks.

Sierra + Chris

OH MY GOSH. Sophia is absolutely amazing. The pictures were absolutely incredible. She is so nice and makes you feel at home. Me and my now husband are very shy people and I was worried about our photos looking awkward. She made us feel so natural and comfortable while we were taking pictures!! My whole family said she was so nice and sweet the photos turned out absolutely amazing! I love how colorful and natural the pictures look. She is very communicative and even helped us know how to get our marriage license. Overall if I could give Sophia 10 stars I would!!

Sophia is AMAZING!! Her energy is one that is very needed and appreciated at a wedding! Her communication is amazing. She legit hiked an actual mountain in 18 degree weather. Her editing is natural and soft to the picture. 10/10 recommend her and will be spreading the news!! My wife and I are so happy with her and her work.
