So many great things to say about Sonja. She was attentive and helpful while we planned the photo session. She offered great advice as we determined the location and logistics.

Seriously so talented! Sonja has done our family photos for years and they never disappoint. She just recently photographed my son's baseball team with action shots of his team during his game. They were AMAZING- shots that I have been trying to get on my phone for years, she got in one game! Priceless memories that we will enjoy for a lifetime. Thank you Sonja! read more

First, let me start by saying this was a great experience. From scheduling the photography to the quality of the photos it's been awesome. I took my two children to get pictures done for Mother's Day for my wife. Sonja had a list of areas that had great scenery for photos. I sat back and let Sonja do her job and show my kids how to pose and where to pose, as I was going to look for them, I came upon all three of them laughing and joking it made me so happy that they were having a great time during the process. Thank you Sonja for everything. I highly recommend her. read more

I've had THE BEST experience working with Sonja these past couple months, and thought she would be the perfect fit to capture my mother's Christmas gift this year! My only previous experience with a professional photoshoot was about 10 years ago at a mall. These photos were awkwardly staged, three times as expensive, and took forever to take and process the photography. Working with Sonja was the complete opposite of this experience. Her pricing is incredibly reasonable with a choice of a several different packages to fit your individual needs. I purchased the base package for $75 which came with 5 of my choice shots, and $10 per additional shot - which I obviously purchased since they came out fantastic! She sent me over a list of locations with sample photography and I chose a small wetlands reserve at Prado in Chino - what a hidden gem! The photoshoot was incredibly fast (under 30 minutes - which is insane with 3 dogs), yet Sonja managed to get a TON of great material. During our shoot Sonja was innovative with her shots, and managed to position us in a way that looked natural. I expected to have a tough time since we brought 3 energetic pups, but she flawlessly captured all 6 of us with no trouble! The most exciting part about this shoot was just how quick and easy the turn-around was! I got the photography back in about 24 hours (slightly expedited since it was the holidays), and sent back a list of images I was planning on purchasing. We had the shoot Saturday morning and I had the prints in hand by Monday morning. Random side note: When you get your photos back I recommend getting them printed at Costco. Unfortunately, only CVS was open Christmas Eve and their printing quality was not as great. Looking forward to taking these bad boys to Costco and getting some high quality canvases made! Overall, Sonja is absolutely amazing and definitely knows how to capture the perfect moment - she even sent me back bloopers for a good laugh! read more

We were having a baby shower for my son and daughter in law. They were really interested in also having a pre-baby photo shoot. The shower was coming up very soon, and I wanted to see if a photo shoot could be done at the same time. I reached out to a few photographers. Sonja Posin of Memories Made by Sonja got back to me very quickly. She was able to fit our photo session in before another job she had the same day. We discussed what we and the mom to be wanted to cover. Sonja gave suggestions as to certain items they might want to have in the photos. We decided on a one hour session that would start 30 minutes before the shower. Thankfully the rainy weather cleared up for a while. Sonja arrived early to prep for the session. She took several photos in our orange grove, and then several during the beginning of the shower. She was friendly and professional throughout , and did not hold up the party at all. She promised a link to the photos would be ready in 20 days, and they were ready in 11 days. The price she charged was reasonable in my opinion. The photos turned out great. The parents to be were thrilled with them as well! I would definitely recommend Memories Made by Sonja to anyone. Thank you Sonja! read more

Another long overdue review. I came to Sonja in a pinch we were having a surprise party for our daughter and the only way that we can get her to dress up was to do a 21st photo shoot. I mean dressed up enough to where she would be happy with her outfit choice. Anyhow, I came across Sonja as I shifted through all the photographs for my last minute Search. Which is not always a smart thing, waiting until the last minute to find a good for photographer. Thankfully Sonja was available that day and this time last minute worked out fantastically. We spoke several times via text and over the phone and mashed pretty well. She communicated very well as well and even had several different ideas and thought of things that I wouldn't even have thought of. It was supposed to be a sunny day, then the weatherman said it was gonna be a rainy day. Welp Sonja had a back up plan, actually a few of them. If it wasn't for her I would have never got the best pictures ever, my daughter walking in the door with a surprised look on her face and all that followed. I cannot believe of all the things, I was really going to forget the look on her face photos? She was very comfortable being around everybody, did not have a problem talking to or dealing with anybody. I know that I was a little bit flighty and exhausted by the time that day actually came. But she got the pics needed and then some.. I will definitely use her again and highly recommend Memories Made by Sonja read more

Excellent rapport with family. Sonja was very imaginative and thoughtful about the location shoot.

Not only is Sonja's photography so beautiful and well done but she is also the most sweetest and kind-hearted person. She has exceeded our expectations from being so communicative from our first appointment to delivering such AMAZING photos of our son's senior photos. We've received so many compliments and friends reaching out on who we used as the photographer and usually we don't do many recommendation, but this was an easy one for us.! You can immediately tell she takes so much pride in her work to preserving beautiful memories for families. We'll definitely be booking our next photo session with her again! read more

After researching endless photographers to take our very first family photos, I stumbled on Sonja's post with a few pics. Her response rate compared to others was lighting speed. She provided all details up front and utilizing electronic contract options made everything quick and painless. Sonja's professionalism and organizational skills (texted a link with exact location) made for a successful session. Our family of five can sometimes be a bit chaotic with her clear direction and artistic touch our family photos came out PERFECT! read more

Sonja was amazing! She was professional and punctual. She was patient and great with getting the kids to pose and all look in the right direction l.

Memories Made by Sonja - Event Photography Near Me

My firstborn is graduating high school 2024. Her school sent all seniors to a photographer in Lake Forest for senior portraits and the yearbook photo. Though the photographer was friendly and tried to make my daughter feel comfortable, every single photo came out terrible. I had to pay for the yearbook photo but opted out of the cap and gown package. I was really disappointed as this moment is special to both of us. I ended up on Yelp when I found Sonja. I felt the prices were high especially not personally knowing her or anyone who's worked with her, however, after working with Sonja it was worth every cent. She not only made my very shy daughter feel comfortable but she was able to capture so many great photos. I don't have any negative feedback and plan on working with Sonja on future special moments. You really get what you pay for and long lasting beautiful photos to prove it! read more

An amazing energy. Super professional and makes taking photos feel less awkward than what you usually feel. Sonja made sure to capture natural moments, and to make sure we were having fun and just being our natural selves. I'm excited to book more sessions in the future. Thank you so much again! read more

Thank you so much for capturing these special moments. read more

This was the first time we used a professional photographer for our photos and I can't wait to use her again.

She kept in constant communication before and after the photos were taken and took great pride in making sure they turned out exactly how we wanted them. I would definitely recommend her and can't wait to have more photos taken. read more
