That’s Ridiculous, Right?
Look… It’s a whacky time! So I’m going to get right to it: I am a 100% inclusive photographer who Is genuinely passionate about seeing people smile. And I’m lucky to work with a like-minded, rockstar community of people who make me laugh. Learn more about us below…
Sophia Lemon
Weirdo Supreme
For me, no “impressive” achievements compare to the feeling of lying in the grass and laughing with friends between ball games. I am a professional shit-disturber who believes we should all be a lot nicer to ourselves and each other. And I’m probably not going to leave you alone until I see a smile plastered across your face.
Community
If it were not for the people I choose to work with, doing my thing would be a lot harder, stuff would get done slower, and life would be generally less fun.
Nikki Yeo

Our Values
I’m not just in this for the fun of it. Living by these values is how I ensure that the work I do has a positive impact on the world.
Mindfulness
Even when life’s a hot mess, there’s always something to smile about. It’s easy to find when we are focused on the moment.
Representation
Every single human deserves equal access to safety, respect, and the freedom to exist as they are—no exceptions.
Mental Health
To truly be healthy and happy, you must feel comfortable and confident being yourself. And you should, because you’re awesome!
Love
Love is a whackadoodle shape-shifter. It shows up differently for everyone, and however you find it, you deserve it.
Community
A true community supports each other. They cheer you on and lift you up when you’re down, and you do the same for them.
Fulfilment
Money, fame, and followers aren’t everything. Living a life that you are truly passionate about is the goal; whatever that is.
By The Way
If you hate having your photo taken, it’s probably because someone somewhere along the way told you that you aren’t photogenic. But speaking from (a lot of) self-experimentation, I can say that that is not true.
That’s why I do things a little differently. Tap the button below and talk to me about it.
