About Lifestyle Photographer & Her Mission

My Story

I never met my mother’s parents. They both passed before I was born, but from the stories my mother has told me about them, I imagine that they are primarily responsible for my sense of humour. And thanks to many (many) photographs like in their wedding album, I can put faces to their shenanigans playing out in my mind.

Sophia was just amazing to work with for our engagement shoot. My fiance and I are not the most photogenic people but quickly realized that didn't matter. We were able to just be our pure natural selves and Sophia captured true moments that came out just beautifully. Her eye for the surrounding scenery is amazing. My only request for scenery was that it had greenery, water, and rocks. She was able to suggest a location with all of that. I can't wait to see our wedding photos now… just have to wait another 13 months. Definitely recommend Sophia for anyone looking for an excellent photographer that takes pride in their shots, catches natural moments and doesn't do typical poses.

My Passion

Family photos are powerful! They house all of the feelings we have for the people in them. Whether it’s a big life event like your wedding or your yearly portrait with your growing kids, photos have deep meaning to the people in them and to the people who love the people in them. Most people know this… But most people don’t like having their photo taken.

Sophia was absolutely amazing to work with! My fiancé and I booked an engagement photo session with her and the entire shoot felt relaxed and natural. Normally, we both feel awkward and uncomfortable in front of the camera but Sophia made it seem as though she wasn't even there. She picked some great locations for photos and the pictures turned out even better than we could have ever imagined. We truly recommend her!

My Mission

My mission is to help the beautiful, hilarious, and talented people I work with see themselves the way their family and friends do. To help them practice gratitude for this wonderful life they live. To help them laugh a little bit harder. It is to help them feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera and to help them carry those feelings of confidence into their every day lives.

My Ridiculously Good Team

Sophia Lemon

Owner + Lead Photographer

I am your lead photographer, meaning that I will be at every single shoot you book with me. I may also bring any one or a combination of the people listed below. I host all photography consultations and I am the one you will speak with when it comes to planning your wedding or session.

Kevin Bryan

Production Manager

Kevin is not only my spouse, but he manages a number of things for me. He helps me with set up and tear down, carries equipment, takes photos, and builds things for me. Those beautiful wood picture blocks and real wood frames, for example? Those are made by Kevin, along with furniture, props, and frames.

Nikki Yeo

If you ever call or email me, chances are you’ll wind up chatting with Nikki at some point. Nikki handles a lot of behind-the-scenes details so that I can spend more time photographing ridiculously happy people like you. She will deal with things like emails, follow-ups, passing along messages, and managing my calendar.

Katie Ballantyne

Makeup + Hair Stylist

Katie is a wonderful and skilled makeup and hair stylist. She works with me on all personal branding sessions. Not only does she provide expert hair and makeup services, her calm and kind personality helps many camera-shy clients warm up for the camera.

Liz Gareri

Photographer

Liz is an incredibly talented photographer. What I love about working with her is that she creates beautiful, high-quality photos that I don’t see. When I’m working with Liz, I know that we’ll be delivering excellent and diverse photos from different angles.

Liz shoots with me at large weddings primarily in the GTA area.

Suhas Vaidya

Photo Editor

After I’ve downloaded weddings and sessions and had a chance to pick my favourites, I send the entire session along to Suhas to be edited. He makes sure that all photos are properly exposed, sharp, and colour corrected. He saves me loads of time and helps make sure that you get to enjoy your photos as quickly as possible.

Suhas is located in Bengaluru, Karnataka, India.

Getting my photo taken is one of my least favourite things to do, kind of up there with going to the dentist! It was a necessary thing to do for my business so I dug deep and made the call. Sophia assured me that it would be a pleasant experience, one I would actually enjoy and she was right. First thing she did was organize my hair and makeup to be professionally done and the results were fantastic. From start to finish of the photo shoot, Sophia made me feel comfortable in my own skin and helped me to relax and have fun...
