We all have the

same right to

feel valued and

seen.

Feminist • Creative • Intimate • Safe

My mission

I want to give you a safe space to express yourself, and photos that show you in ways you want to be seen.

Regardless of what we’re documenting – your body and soul, your wedding or your love – I want to give you that safe space, always. My main goal is to give you an amazing experience in front of the camera. I want to give you memories that last a lifetime.

Through my photography, I want to celebrate especially marginalised people, but anyone is welcome in front of my camera. I take photos so that people can see the beauty in themselves. Through the experience I want you to feel stronger and more courageous — like you can do anything you set your mind to.

We all have the same right to feel beautiful, vulnerable and powerful. To see ourselves in a happy relationship or having the wedding of our dreams. To feel valued and seen as who we are.

A safe experience

you are at the center of my work

Everything we do, we do the way you want, always respecting your boundaries. I want to hear about your wishes and fears beforehand and plan our moments together to match what you are looking for.

I’ll do my best to give you an empowering and safe experience and photos that make you smile for years. As far as I can see, the core of my job is helping you to see yourself in a new perspective, through kind and respectful eyes. That and immortalizing beautiful, authentic moments, full of emotions.

“Sonja clearly works with great expertise and a big heart. We couldn’t have wished for a better professional to document our important day!”

Get to know me better

Behind the lens

I am a kind, inclusive and creative photographer, who lives for the little moments of happiness in everyday life.

I believe that being marginalised helps me to recognize and mind the needs of very different kinds of people. In my work I’ve made it my top priority to create a safe space for you to explore and express your identity, power, vulnerability and love. I want to be a person with whom you feel comfortable sharing any personal detail that might help you on your journey to a kinder gaze towards yourself.

I obviously can’t promise you 100% safety, since people make mistakes, but what I can promise is that everyone you meet during your time with us will do their best to give you a safe space and experience.
