I'm Sonia
Sonia Arkkelin
Artist + Photographer
I grew up in a small town here in Northwest Indiana and learned what kind of peace nature can bring. I am at home out in the woods or wherever I can be outdoors breathing fresh air. I have always been a lover of art, photography specifically. I became a photographer because I wanted to document real people and magic moments. I wanted to make images that weren’t just pretty but made you feel something and connected you to this time and place for years to come. I want to make treasures for people. What better way than to document those that you love on the happiest day of your lives? I’m an old soul. We will probably listen to hippy music at your engagement session. I love all of the nachos, cheeses, and dry red wines. I married my high school sweetheart and we have three beautiful baby birds who are my world. I have a sarcastic sense of humor, love Seinfeld , and will probably say something incredibly awkward during your session to make you laugh. I do not take what I do lightheartedely. I know my responsibility is great and I am honored that you have chosen me to document your day. I am so anticipating working with you all!
