With a calm, conversational approach and an eye for flattering light and natural expression, Sonja helps clients relax in front of the camera so each portrait feels genuine rather than staged.

Whether you want a classic studio portrait, a contemporary environmental image, or a polished business portrait for LinkedIn and professional profiles, Sonja brings technical skill and thoughtful direction to every shoot. Her membership in the Headshot Crew and status as a Peter Hurley Protégé underline her commitment to craft and her proficiency in creating strong, communicative headshots when required. What makes her approach special is the emphasis on personality.

Sonja’s lighting and composition aim to support the story you want your portrait to tell—professional, approachable, creative or editorial—while keeping the focus on you. How she works with clients: Sonja values clear communication and a comfortable studio atmosphere. From first contact to final delivery she guides clients through wardrobe suggestions, posing cues, and selection of final images.
