September 29th, 1999 - The day photography became more to me than just a quick snapshot. It was my first son's birthday. From that day on, I began to care about how my photos turned out. I noticed my pictures lacked so much and I began a journey to improve and change that. Did they truly reflect the reality of a moment? How could I best document their lives so that generations to come would be able to enjoy and treasure images that were not just snapshots of a moment passed, but were thoughtfully taken so that the light, the composition, and the emotion of each situation was taken into consideration. I wanted all of my photographs to tell a story..
Now, 11 years and 2 more children later, I have thousands upon thousand of pictures that I have taken that together chronicle the journey of our family. I plan to continue to photo-journal our lives as long as I possibly can. In this process, I have completely in love with the art of photography. After much prayer and the support of my amazing family and friends, I have decided to open a photography business and offer my services to others. I am so excited about this new path and look forward to all that God has in store.
I would love to be of service to you if you are in need of a photographer for a wedding, family, birthday or any occasion. I primarily shoot in and around the Memphis, TN area, but am available to travel on certain occasions. Please contact me at sonya@sonyabalentinephotography if you would like to set up an appointment or if you have any questions.
