Welcome to the Sonialena Photography Blog!

Thanks for taking a moment to visit my blog!

This blog chronicles my adventures as a wedding and portrait photographer. I'm based in Southern California but will happily and gladly travel to other parts of the universe.

My blog is also a place for me to share some of the personal photography that I do, as well as sound off on various topics that are tangentially related to photography.

If you're inspired to write a comment or send an e-mail my way, I would love to hear from you!

Political Pilgrimage

I’m headed to Washington D.C. for Barack Obama’s inauguration in January. I have no idea whether I’ll get a ticket or not; it goes without saying that demand for tickets is through the roof. But I’m excited to travel to another part of the country and take pictures!

I’m already planning which lenses I want to bring with me. While I would love to take my 70-200mm f/2.8 beast, I do not want to be lugging that around with me all day. As of now I’m going with my 10.5mm fisheye and my 50mm f/1.4, both of which are quite compact.

And I’m finally going to get Nikon’s 18-200mm VR II lens. This lens was all the rage when it first came out. It was sold out for months. It’s not a professional lens, so it isn’t really suited for portrait or wedding work. But from what I hear it’s a great walking-around lens.

I can’t wait to walk around DC with it!
