A one-on-one mentorship session with Sophia. Digital or in-person. Ask me anything.

10 years ago, I packed up my life and hopped on a plane to Vancouver. With two suitcases, a camera, and a ton of guts — I set out to become a photographer.

I believe that creative work is fulfilling, that you can run an art business with balance, be involved in your community, and thrive in any creative space. You don’t have to compromise your creative vision or spend a ton of money on gear to get started. Your camera is the best one you can have, your unique vision is something that is authentic and set apart.

I’m here to answer your questions, help you move through technical or creative challenges, and be a sounding board on how to run a creative business.

Some areas we can cover:

Technical skills — camera knowledge, lighting, post-production, food, still life, and prop styling.

Studio — setting and purchasing gear, backgrounds, lighting, and camera equipment.

Business — The quoting process, proposals, outsourcing, and project management. Licensing your images for stock photography.

Creative — Finding personal vision. Collaborations. Balancing creative and client work. Social media content creation.
