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 […]

Hello 2015, Goodbye 2014!

January 7, 2015 by Sonya Revell

Happy 2015! In looking back at 2014, I’m happy to share a selection of my favorite images from the year… In 2014, I got the chance to work with some amazing new clients: PayPal, Keller-Williams Realty, Luxe. Interiors + Design, Inked Magazine, Calik Denim, Prevention Magazine, Northwestern University/Kellogg School of Management, GX Magazine, and University of Minnesota, just to name a few. And while it’s nice to see how far I’ve come in the past year (because sometimes I forget), it’s […]

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 […]

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 […]

New Personal Work

May 14, 2013 by Sonya Revell

For the past year or so, I’ve carried a vision in my head- of a man dressed in white, floating in a pond surrounded by lily pads.  Unfortunately since I live in Florida, most bodies of water likely to house water lilies, are equally likely to house alligators or worse yet, (for me anyway) large snakes.  One day while riding my bike, by sheer accident, I stumbled upon the perfect pond for my vision- urban enough to weed out the […]

The Watcher in the Woods

February 5, 2011 by Sonya Revell

So lately I’ve been trying to reference more of my childhood influences in my work.  And oddly enough, I’m beginning to realize just how much I was influenced by a hand-full of scary children’s movies  released in the early 80’s.The two that top the list are Something Wicked This Way Comes, based on the novel by Ray Bradbury and The Watcher in the Woods, staring an older Betty Davis and Kyle Richards (Paris Hilton’s aunt).  I’ve asked around to see […]

White Christmas in the Bluegrass

February 3, 2011 by Sonya Revell

How many people can say that they grew up on a Christmas tree farm?  Taylor Swift and Me.  That might be it.  Okay, okay, I’m sure it’s not that rare and I didn’t really grow up there.  I did, however, spend a lot of time running and playing, building fires and roasting marshmallows, learning the names of all the flowers and trees, and creating amazing memories on my Grandparent’s 265 acre farm in Wolf Creek, Kentucky. Back in December, I […]
