About Me

Meet Sophia Nelson — Ohio-Based Wedding & Lifestyle Photographer with Colorado Roots

From the shores of Michigan to the heart of the Rocky Mountains, my journey has always been rooted in creativity and connection. I got my start as a photographer in Colorado—capturing love stories in the mountains, city moments in Denver, and everything in between. Now based in Cincinnati, Ohio, I continue to serve couples and families across the Midwest while regularly traveling back to Colorado for intimate weddings and elopements.

I fell in love with photography as a kid in Michigan, where I began documenting the natural world around me. Over the past decade, that spark has grown into a career focused on capturing real moments, raw emotion, and the beauty of human connection through timeless, heartfelt imagery.

My style blends candid emotion with artistic intention. Whether it’s the joy of a wedding day, the quiet beauty of a maternity session, or the bold energy of a branding shoot, I aim to create images that feel genuine, warm, and uniquely you.

With a background in graphic design and digital marketing, I bring a trained eye for composition, color, and storytelling—approaching each session with purpose and a deep understanding of how to visually express identity.

When you work with me, you’re not just booking a session—you’re investing in a personalized, relaxed experience that allows your true personality to shine. I care deeply about creating space where you feel seen, celebrated, and completely yourself.

Whether you're in Ohio, Colorado, or somewhere in between—I'd be honored to tell your story through my lens.
