Hi, I’m Sophia
I’m the owner of Sophia Co Photography. I live in Minnesota (and I admit… I love the snow), and when I’m not taking photos, you’ll find me singing, playing guitar, reading, dancing, or water skiing in the summer.
A few years ago I picked up a camera and started messing with the settings. I couldn’t get it right at first, so I set out to learn more, and that lit my passion on fire. Now I want to share what I’ve learned and encourage young photographers to follow their dreams and not be afraid to think outside the box.
