Muse, meet your observer.
Hi friend,
I’m Sofia— observer of all things.
The child version of me loved observing plays and movies— really anything that suspended reality. I loved the moments where everyone agreed on a made up world, and went with it full force. You could say dreaming of specific worlds hasn’t changed. My camera and I have been partnered for five years, but cinema and creative mediums have been a life-long love affair.
I take photos with presence; a mindfulness that allows me to perceive the earth, its humans, and all things through a lens of beauty.
But what does that mean, really?
The Short:
I get to know YOU and not just what we are shooting for. A session with me is not click, next, click, next… instead, we take the time to create a level of presence that allows for the placements, lightning, and emotions to be perfectly guided into each photograph.
The Long:
Before our session, we have an intention call, where we get to know each other. I gather details about you and understand the deeper reasoning for why you do what you do.
During our shoot together, I tune into who you are, the spirit that fuels you, and the natural elements of the environment.
Throughout our time together, you have my heartfelt support and guidance, ensuring that our interactions, and your final products, provide you deep fulfillment.
I welcome you. I thank you for being here.
Transcendence:
“ Transcendence refers to the very highest and most inclusive or holistic levels of human consciousness, behaving and relating, as ends rather than means to oneself to significant others to human beings in general, to other species, to nature, and to the cosmos ”
( Mike Colagrossi, Przekrój Magazine)
The Experience:
Phase 1: You’ve decided you need Photos with a Photographer who understands you and your needs.
Phase 2: We discuss the photos and get to know a bit about each other in our intention call. I sit in the energy and purpose of the information gathered, and return to you with a vision.
Phase 3: I propose a plan that fits your needs, and we lock down details ( investment, location, outfits, props, duration— any necessary info prior to the shoot.)
Phase 4: Prepare to have fun! I get to capture you on camera, and you bask in a session that was created specifically with YOU in mind!
Phase 5: You receive photos that leave you feeling fulfilled and recognized.
