the photographer
-
Our approach at Somewhere Studios balances observation with intuition, shaping photographs that are deliberate, candid, and composed.
Our work is built around observing rather than orchestrating. By paying close attention and allowing the day to unfold naturally, we create a detail-driven narrative rooted in sophistication and refinement.
We believe the nuances of a moment are what give it meaning.
The small, often overlooked details, the way someone listens, the expression that appears without warning, the pause before something important happens, are what shape the story. These are the moments that can’t be directed or recreated.
Our work is about more than documentation. It is the artful composition of authentic moments.
-
The experience of your wedding is shaped long before the first moment is photographed. From our first conversation, the focus is on connection and trust, allowing couples to feel supported and confident. The process is designed to bring clarity and calm, offering thoughtful guidance and clear direction so nothing feels rushed or left to chance.
As the experience unfolds, attention shifts to rhythm and rapport. Engagement sessions are curated with intention, helping couples become comfortable in front of the camera while establishing an authentic tone. Insight shaped by experience informs decisions around light, timing, and setting, ensuring the day moves seamlessly and feels true to the people at its center.
On the wedding day, presence matters most. The role of the photographer is both observant and supportive, anticipating moments as they happen, offering direction only when it serves the story and allowing space for the day to be fully experienced. The result is a body of work that feels composed yet honest, shaped by expertise and grounded in connection.

A look behind the scenes of our editing process.
Every photograph is hand-refined with a professional edit. It is approached with attention to detail and an eye for artistry. Skin tones are preserved in their truest form. Light and shadow are considered carefully, and each frame is refined to reflect both the moment and the aesthetic of the day.
The process is deliberate and meticulous, ensuring that each image carries the quiet care put into every shot.
The goal is to create heirlooms that feel timeless, authentic, and refined.

At Somewhere Studios, every photograph receives individual attention. We tailor each frame, pixel by pixel, ensuring skin tones are preserved and light is flattering and true to life. Each photograph is carefully edited by hand, with attention to composition, emotion, and the delicate nuances of every moment. Our work is not automated or one-size-fits-all. It is a delicate process that births heirlooms that will last a lifetime. This deliberate approach is what makes our photography so intentional and enduring.

“You will not regret booking Somewhere Studios for any occasion! Our family photos turned out beautiful. The lighting, placement, and quick return were some of the best I've seen. Not to mention how wonderful Sasha is to work with! She’s super sweet, genuine and beyond patient which is a must with a 1 year old! Thank you Sasha, we cannot wait for our next session!”

“Sasha was great and made me feel very comfortable during my shoot! She brought some props (veils/things of that nature) that really added a special touch, and made it really easy on me so I didn't have to think too much or feel awkward! She fully prepared me and had a great communication right from the moment I booked. The pictures came out beautiful--I highly recommend her!”
