Senior Lifestyle Portraits for Vi Living

December 7, 2016 by Sonya Revell

My great-grandmother lived to be nearly 102 years old and she was one of my first portrait photography subjects. She could recount stories from five generations! Her stories were fascinating and so was she. Maybe it’s because of her that I have such an affinity for those that are older and wiser than I. And it’s no secret that South Florida is a mecca for retirees and seniors seeking year-round sunshine. So when the marketing manager of Vi Living, a […]

A Portrait of Granada Presbyterian for ByFaith Magazine

August 25, 2016 by Sonya Revell

A while back, I got a fun commission from ByFaith magazine, to create portraits of the congregation at Granada Presbyterian Church, for their cover story on diversity. My assistant, Dragi and I set up a make-shift studio inside Granada’s sanctuary, in Coral Gables, FL and with some help, gathered and photographed as many members as we could over the course of one day. Everyone at Granada was incredibly welcoming and it was wonderful to meet so many families and individuals, […]

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!

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 […]
