Hi, I’m Sophia — a proud Santa Barbara native and one of the few photographers lucky enough to have been born and raised in this beautiful coastal town.
My love for photography began early, inspired by my dad, a talented local artist and photographer. He introduced me to the world of art and imagery when I was young, and I’ve been hooked ever since.
I understand that being in front of the camera can sometimes feel awkward — and that’s okay! My goal is to make every session feel relaxed, fun, and natural. Whether you’re celebrating a milestone, capturing your growing family, or documenting your love story, I’m here to make the experience feel easy and enjoyable.
As a parent myself, I believe in letting kids be kids — those playful, candid moments are often the most meaningful. I strive to create a space where your real personality shines through, so the photos we capture together are not just beautiful, but deeply personal.
From proposals and engagements to weddings, family sessions, and everything in between, I’m here to help tell your story through images you’ll treasure for years to come.
Thanks for being here — I can’t wait to work with you!
Things to note!
Clients who book more than a 1-hour photo session are required to sign a contract. All clients, regardless of type, are required to submit a 50% deposit to hold the date booked. The deposit is non-refundable but can be used towards a future photoshoot so long as a 72 hour notice is given.
As a mother, I know things happen, so I will always try and be understanding on a case-by-case basis, however, please note the time booked is reserved for YOU and takes away from other families and couples looking to get their photos taken.
I truly believe in preserving your authentic self! My retouching and editing focuses on minor enhancements to highlight your best features, such as softening skin tones, reducing minor blemishes, and adjusting lighting for optimal results. I will not edit any body proportions. YOU are beautiful and my job is to show that!
My goal is to provide you with timely delivery of your portraits without compromising the quality of the photos. Portraits between 30 minutes to 1 hour can take up to 2 weeks for gallery delivery. Please allow 4-6 weeks for wedding gallery delivery. Wedding clients can expect sneak peeks within 48 hours.
I LOVE to travel, but there may be a travel fee if it’s outside of Santa Barbara Couunty.
