SONJA KONING

Womanhood has been the common thread in my work over the last 15 years. How we can claim and create space, both physically and figuratively. Through natural light and often minimal compositions my images show a delicate balance between vulnerability, trust and strenght. How do we stay connected? In my images you can find the exploration of the continuous transofmative phases of womanhood. Caputuring life through a lens of appreciation for the every day life. Nothing stays after all so we better can make the most of it. Sonja photographs with kindness, awareness, creativity. enthousiasm & curiousity.

Storytelling

I capture stories as they unfold. Sometimes, I create them through conceptual work, with carefully chosen prints available for sale. At home, I cherish life with my husband and three kids. I love getting to know new people or being reunited with them through my work as a photographer. My lens is drawn to authenticity — cause in the end thats where real value can be found, the ones that hold real wealth.

Photographing weddings for 15 years this season so ditched most of the nerves (keeping calm during your day no matter what) but kept the passion and dare to say it even grew for the precious moments of celebrating love and life with your loved ones all while being in fancy attires 💃 (enthousiastic about these things like a puppy). My photos are elegantly documentary (that’s where the value in your photos lies in 10/20/40 years from now!) with a mix of time aware creativity (no one minds their wedding looking like an editorial as well) feel welcome to peek around here, say hi in the dm or leave a message at my website if you like, meanwhile I’ll be sharing bits here - Dutch: Een van de weinige bhts hier. Maar mochten we elkaar nog niet kennen: Hoi! Fijn dat je een kijkje neemt hier. Ik fotografeer met heel veel passie de waardevolle momenten en mooie dingen in het leven. Want een moment, persoon of gevoel weer levendig maken en kunnen doorgeven blijft het meest magische wat ik voor anderen kan doen. Laat gerust een berichtje achter als ik iets voor je kan betekenen en voel je welkom om lekker rond te kijken hier.  #trouwfotograaf #bruidsfotograaf

Hi I’m Sonja (can call me Sonia, no problem).
There are stories everywhere. I’ve captured them for over a decade with my camera, elegantly, gentle, creative. Personal fashion- & love-stories. 

It’s always been about the moment.
About noticing.
About the love.
About you.
