Get to know me
Hey there! I'm Brianna.
I'm a Chicago-based lifestyle photographer who is passionate about preserving the moments and memories you'll want to revisit again and again.
Studio Sona is where I photograph life as it happens, from newborns, families, and milestones to events, brands, and all the moments you want to hold onto, with a focus on honest, unposed moments. I want every session to feel warm, personal, and relaxed.
Sona means gold in Urdu, and I created Studio Sona to honor that, because like gold, the moments we capture together only grow more valuable with time.
I believe photography is for everyone and everything. It's for the milestones, like a new baby, a growing family, or a big life chapter, and just as much for the tiny, ordinary moments in between. A toddler's hand in yours, a quiet morning at home, the everyday things you don't think to remember until they're gone.
That belief is why I do this work. Every moment is worth preserving, not just the big ones, and you don't need a special occasion to book a session.
Whether you're celebrating something big or want to hold onto this season as it is, I'd love to hear about it.
Testimonials
"Brianna made my first professional photo shoot so easy and comfortable for my boyfriend and I. She captured genuine laughter and emotion on camera by keeping the vibe light and fun. She was patient, attentive to our likes and dislikes, and a complete professional throughout. I wasn't sure what to expect when we took the photos in the rain but when I saw them in their final stage they blew me away.
I would highly recommend working with Brianna to bring to life memories, family/couple portraits, eventful occasions or whatever is desired."

"I had such a wonderful experience working with Bri! She made the entire session feel so comfortable, relaxed, and fun. She really took her time to make sure we were getting the best angles, lighting, and shots, and I appreciated how much attention she paid to even the smallest details. You can truly tell how much care and effort she puts into her work! Not to mention, her turnaround time was incredibly fast, and I was so excited to receive my photos back so quickly. I absolutely loved how everything turned out and couldn’t recommend Bri enough to anyone looking for a talented and thoughtful photographer!"
