Hello, I'm Sophia
Portrait Photographer
Hi, I'm Sophia—the face behind Honey & Hawthorn. I’ve had a camera in my hand for years, capturing everything from newborn toes to golden-hour glances, but this is the first time I’m officially stepping into the spotlight with my own business.
I’m a small-town girl with a big heart for storytelling. Photography has always been my favorite way to pause and catch the little things that matter most. Whether it's a family belly-laugh, a shy smile between partners, or a pup resting their head in your lap, I’m here to help you hold onto those moments just a little longer.
My approach
 
At Honey & Hawthorn, the vibe is warm, laid-back, and genuine. I believe the best photos happen when you feel comfortable, seen, and free to just be yourself. That’s why sessions with me are relaxed and fun—less about stiff posing and more about real connection.
I aim for a natural, true-to-you style that reflects your story as it is, in all its beautiful simplicity. Whether we're in your backyard or out in a field at sunset, I’m here to create an easygoing experience that feels more like hanging out than a photo shoot.
 
Kind words from

Our session with Sophia was so easy and fun—it honestly felt like we were just hanging out with a friend who happened to have a camera. She made us feel completely at ease, even with two squirmy kids and a dog in the mix! The photos are absolutely beautiful—natural, warm, and full of personality. We’ll treasure them forever.
