I'm a professional photographer. I'm a full time, stay at home mom. I'm a proud, VERY happily married, Army Major's wife. I still like fast cars, motorcycles, and adrenaline rushes but no time for that stuff when you're chasing little girls. My Dad is, and has always been, my hero, that will never change. I drink Pepsi, Coke is poison. Got a question about anything on my photo stream? Ask away. I have no secrets. What you see is what you get. :O)

Buying a Nikon doesn't make you a photographer. It makes you a Nikon owner.

I am a fast prime lens addict. I have 2 zooms, but have to say they collect dust more than any other lenses I own. I'd rather use the best glass available, and zoom with my feet.


My kit includes....
D300 with battery grip
D700
SB 800 and about 100 different color gels
3 studio strobes with giant softboxes and a few umbrellas
a few different reflectors
more backdrops than I can count...LOL!
Nikkor 50mm f/1.8 AND f/1.4
Nikkor 28-70 f/2.8....AKA "The Beast!"
Sigma 30mm f/1.4
Nikkor 85mm f/1.4
Nikkor 10.5mm f/2.8 fisheye
Tamron 90mm f/2.8 Di macro
Nikkor 80-200 f/2.8
Tamron 17-35 f/2.8
Nikkor 105mm f/2D AF DC (my newest baby)
12mm extension tube for macro
Picture Porter Elite 120
....other small goodies like wireless remotes, lightsphere, expodisk, filters.....you get the idea...I have an addiction to new toys.

    "Well, I found a photo that Sonya had taken while in a yoga posture. After looking through more of her photos, I discovered that this was someone that is passionate about photography, passionate about her family and most of all, someone I am very grateful to have met here on Flickr. I also must say that it is a bonus in that she is an extremely beautiful person as well. Never hurts to say that. Anyway, please stop by and visit her photostream and see what talents she has. You definitely won't be disappointed, plus you will make a friend to boot."

    "I can thank Sonya for inspiring me to pursue photography more seriously. She used to call herself just a "mommy with a camera" but now she has blossomed into so much more - a true professional. An eye for "real life", she captures the truth of childhood in her portraits. I am fortunate to call her my mentor and my friend. Thank you, Sonya. :)"

    "Oh this is so hard! She is 100% loyal. I can trust her with anything and the student has far surpassed the teacher. :) She is funny, smart, fierce, competitive, never gives up, and beyond giving! Her portraits just get better and better and she quickly masters anything she is inspired by. She has a huge heart."
