Hello there !! My name is Sophia, A Baby & Family photographer based in Portsmouth Hampshire UK
I have lived in Portsmouth all my life and I am a busy Mother to five gorgeous sons ( yes 5 !! )
You can usually find me at the football pitch every weekend ( spectating not playing !! )
Although I've always loved taking photos since I was a teenager, my passion really sparked into photography in 2010, when I started capturing moments of my fourth son and his brothers.
This newfound passion led me to enter a Portsmouth News photography competition, where I won it !!
I have since gone on to win prestigious awards for my photography, and my exceptional work has been prominently showcased on television and in various renowned magazines, in Hampshire UK.
I have a background in the NHS working with young mothers, as well as many well - being qualifications including baby massage, a diploma in breastfeeding counselling therefore I am able to utilise the skills I have learnt and share them with any new Mums or Mums-to-be.*
Also the following attributes are really great ‘strings to my bow’ to add to my extensive photography training I have had over the years, training with many TOP photographers in the UK.
First Aid Trained with St Johns Ambulance
Fully Insured with Policy Bee
Reiki 1 & 2 qualification
SWPP member
Volunteer for the Butterfly Wishes Network
I adore tea and cake, many lattes when I am editing ( sometimes a glass of Rose too !! )
I am a lover of travelling, arts and crafts, Motown and Northern Soul, West End musicals and dancing of all kinds, Oh and a big Madonna fan too!!!
I hope that’s enough about me, please do not hesitate to reach out if there's anything else you require assistance with that hasn't been covered, or if you would like a personalised service tailored specifically to your needs I'm here to help in any way I can.
