New Lifestyle Photography for a New Year

February 3, 2016 by Sonya Revell

I’m not big on New Year’s resolutions.  I do, however, like to kick off each new year with a portfolio shoot (which superstition dictates must be completed within the first week of January). Unfortunately here in Miami, 2016 started off with lots and lots of rain.  So while my inspiration was telling me to do a lifestyle shoot at the beach, El Niño seemed to be laughing in my face. Thankfully Laura, my styling cohort and I kept a close […]

Essentia Spa Shoot at the Delano Hotel

October 23, 2014 by Sonya Revell

If I had to name my favorite hotel on South Beach, it would probably be the Delano. I still remember my first trip to the iconic hotel as a spry 22-year-old, straight out of Kentucky.  At that time, the Delano, with its promise of glamour, adventure and an unforeseen trip down the rabbit hole (thanks to Philippe Starck’s designs), really embodied for me the larger enigmatic quality of Miami (in general). So when I was approached by Travelzoo to photograph Club […]

Organic Gardening Magazine, Portrait of Andres Mejides in Homestead, FL

January 18, 2014 by Sonya Revell

Top reasons my shoot with Organic Gardening Magazine test gardener, Andres Mejides, was one of my favorites of 2013 (in no particular order), As a nearly life-long vegetarian, I have really come to appreciate organically grown produce  (don’t panic, it’s organic) I’d rather be outdoors than in and jump at the chance to shoot outside Growing up in Kentucky, everyone I knew had some sort of garden and in the fourth grade (before discovering photography) I decided I wanted to […]

First Shoot of 2014

January 5, 2014 by Sonya Revell

To start the year off right, I always like to have a portfolio shoot lined up during the first week of January.  This helps me set the tone and photographic direction for the new year.  For this one, we headed up to the Hollywood boardwalk and found the perfect stretch of empty beach. This shoot also gave me a chance to play with my new toy-  a GoPro, which will definitely be capturing some behind-the-scenes action in 2014!

Vintage, Horses, Blonds…OH MY!

December 2, 2013 by Sonya Revell

I grew up in Kentucky.  So like it or not, horse culture is sort of in my blood.  Like a good Kentuckian, I took horse-back riding lessons in the second grade and I make the annual trip home every Derby.  (Although, funny enough, I’ve never actually attended the Derby.  I, instead, go to the Oaks- more of a local tradition.)  And I never miss out on a piece of Derby pie.  So when I was approached to make some portraits […]

Ballerina & Balloons – Personal Work

October 30, 2013 by Sonya Revell

I love working with professional dancers (and no, I’m not referring to the exotic kind).  That’s why, when Hannah Rich contacted me to update her professional dance headshots, I knew I had to talk her into doing a test shoot as well.  Since Hannah is gorgeous and has amazing balance, I knew I could get both tighter beauty shots, as well as wider fanciful shots.    Although I had a loose idea of the type of images I wanted to […]

Healthy Living with Haute Body Nutrition

September 1, 2013 by Sonya Revell

At the beginning of August, I was approached by Marissa, of Haute Body Nutrition, to do some healthy-living, outdoor portraits for her website and marketing materials.  As a nutritionist, she wanted portraits that conveyed her fresh, non-clinical approach.  We also managed to squeeze in some fun, active lifestyle, surf shots on the beach, just before the rain rolled in.  In the end, my camera may have gotten a little wet, but the combination of dramatic sky and turbulent waves added […]

Wayne Chaplin of Southern Wine & Spirits for Forbes Life Magazine

July 25, 2013 by Sonya Revell

Back in April I was asked to photograph Wayne Chaplin, President and COO of Southern Wine & Spirits for Forbes Life magazine.  The editor at Forbes was looking for a shot with a lifestyle-y feel.  With this information in mind, I picked a spot on the FIU campus, just outside of the new School of Hospitality & Tourism- A brand new building bearing Chaplin’s name.  The finishing touches were just being applied inside the large building, which was funded largely […]
