About the Artist
MEET SOPHIA
Sophia Barrett Studios is a female-owned boutique studio located in the heart of Atlanta, GA. Sophia's portraiture is fueled by her desire to create idiosyncratic art that will speak volumes about the moment captured for generations to come. She comprehensively approaches each session to ensure no detail is overlooked towards hitting the mark. Some of the things she accomplishes for each session include creative planning, styling of participants, set creations, and making headdresses, gowns, and other items. She believes that clients commission her to create a piece of art, not just capture a pretty photo. An integral part of her service is her foundation in connecting emotionally with her clients before the portrait session. Trust is woven into the layers so that clients are more receptive to the breathing techniques used to release tension in their bodies and open to incorporating fluidity in each movement. The total package equals an emotive piece of artistry. The acclamatory vibrations of her studio facilitate a transformative aura for clients to tap into their ultra-confidence.
Although she is well known for her work within the maternity realm, her portfolio includes Motherhood, Family, Modern Portraits, Industry-related commercial work, and Weddings. Jerzy Kosinski once said that "the principle of true art is not to portray but to evoke." That is a statement that Sophia lives out through her work. Always willing to take the road less traveled to have the desired result. Her most prized role is as a mother to a budding artist in her own right Emine and a loving wife to her wonderfully supportive husband, Derrick.
