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!

Personal: California Coast

I drove up to Oakland for Andrea and Linh’s wedding, mostly because I wanted to drive back to LA along the California coast. This is a loooong drive! But I love doing it when I get the chance – and when I can get up early enough! I woke up at five am and made it back to LA around 7. Partly because I had to stop and take pictures (of course) but also because the traffic between Santa Barbara and LA was a nightmare. It was, after all, a holiday weekend.

The weather was pretty dreary and grey at first – I was a little disappointed about the lack of blue skies, but it makes for some nice monotone black and white images.

The lighthouse – it’s all fenced off so you can’t get too close to it.

Near Hearst Castle. I think these animals are soooo ugly that they’re fascinating!
