Based in the coastal heart of Port Macquarie, Sophia is a fully insured freelance photographer guided by a simple belief — the moments that matter deserve to be preserved with care.
Since founding SM Photography in 2014, what began as a creative passion has evolved into a trusted photographic experience for both individuals and brands seeking imagery that feels authentic, refined, and lasting. Sophia is known for her calm presence behind the camera and her ability to create an environment where people feel comfortable enough to be entirely themselves — because the most powerful photographs are never forced, they are felt.
Her work spans branding and promotional content, portraiture, sport, and landscape photography, always grounded in emotion, connection, and thoughtful storytelling.
Over the years, Sophia has been trusted by respected brands including Happy Socks, Kmart, ABC North Coast, Swisse Nutrition, and Grafton Motor Group, while continuing to work closely with private clients who value imagery that reflects who they truly are. These partnerships are not simply milestones, but a reflection of the trust placed in her vision and the consistency she brings to every project.
Today, Sophia collaborates with commercial, corporate, and personal clients to create photographs that do more than document a moment — they preserve a feeling, tell a story, and stand the test of time.
