Hi, I'm Sophie

WORLD RENOWNED NEWBORN & FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER BASED IN SYDNEY

One day, when your children are grown, they’ll sit down with these photos and see the truth of their childhood.

They’ll know, without question, how deeply they were loved, and how much these moments mattered to you.

The older they get, the more it means. To you, and to them.

That’s my why.

UNDENIABLY SENTIMENTAL & IN AWE OF MOTHERS 

Across two decades, I’ve captured thousands of families who want to hold on the chapters that make up their lives. 

You know that feeling you get when you look at your child and realise this version of them will never exist again? The feeling that makes your stomach drop?

That’s why I do this work.

I adore being a mum, and I adore capturing them. 

Every year, around my children’s birthdays, I photograph them solo. 

It’s a tradition I’ve never missed.

A way to honour who they are right now, before they change again.

FAMILY IS EVERYTHING

Book your session

I’m here to help you slow down and savour it too.

To pause the rush of the years and remind you just how beautiful this family you’ve built really is – before it’s too late.

Sometimes sessions are on the beach or by a cliff edge.
Other days, we’re in the comfort of my Mosman studio.

But always, we’re romanticising our lives like they’re the only ones we get.

Because they are. And it matters.

Because I know how quickly it all slips through our fingers, and how much we long to revisit those versions of them.

“I’ve just had my 3rd session with Sophie and she is a breath of fresh air every time. She makes me feel at ease, and the photos are always breathtaking. My house is filled with her work and I wouldn’t have it any other way.”

I’m obsessed with training dogs, understanding them and helping them thrive. My favourite me-time. One day I plan to start fostering them too.

Happily married with three children, three dogs, a cat & a bird. Beautiful chaos.

WHAT LIGHTS ME UP 

I adore fashion and how what we wear influences the way we feel. Curating my client wardrobe is such a joy.

One of my biggest values is growth and learning. Whether that’s business, parenting, my craft, who I am. I’m committed to evolving. 

I’m proud to lead The Sophie Lea Academy, where I coach emerging and established photographers to create and grow their own successful businesses.
