FLORIDA WEDDING AND ELOPEMENT PHOTOGRAPHER

BASED IN ST. PETERSBURG, AUTHENTICALLY DOCUMENTING LOVE & CONNECTION

A woman with long hair holding a camera on her shoulder, sitting on a beach in St. Petersburg Florida near water and rocks.

I've always been in love with photography and its ability to capture a moment, telling a story that can preserve a precious memory!

When I’m not taking pictures, you could probably find me in one of St. Pete’s amazing local coffee shops with a good book. I also absolutely love traveling! The top destinations on my travel wishlist at the moment are New Zealand, Scotland, and Iceland.

But if I’m being honest, my cat, Tessa, gets most of my attention :) I am a huge animal lover – so feel free to bring your furry friends to our photoshoot haha!

I am so excited to hopefully get to know you better and create some beautiful memories that you can cherish forever!

Hey there, I’m Sofia!

Let's start your adventure!!!

KIND WORDS FROM AMAZING COUPLES

  • “Sofia is AMAZING!! My boyfriend and I booked her for a couples photoshoot while we were in Florida for vacation. I thought that I was the one communicating with her but really she was talking to him the whole time for a surprise engagement. She captured the proposal beautifully and I had NO CLUE!! My fiancé and I are so happy with our pictures and we only have our sneak peak pics back (this was 3 days ago and we got so many beautiful sneak peaks)! Sofia is so sweet! If you’re worried about feeling awkward posing, don’t! She has plenty of different poses and laughs with you through it all! I would 100% recommend a beach photoshoot because she did so so so good with ours! I hope you love her just as much as we did!"
