Where it begins...


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.
