Hi, I'm Sonum, a wedding photographer & 

Based in Oxford, MS with West Coast ties. I happily travel for couples.

I'm so glad you're here. In short, I'm a former school counselor & an enthusiastic introvert (translation: text > call, but expect exclamation points), being married to my BFF is my favorite thing in life, and - no matter what anyone says - I will always sob when watching Interstellar.

SO-num, like when you hit your funny bone, and it’s so numb. Dorky, but effective, and now we're past it.

I'm a gal who loves intentionally & enthusiastically. Working with couples is where I shine.

Photography is storytelling.
My story shapes how I tell yours. 

I grew up in a world of color, in the 90s with a strong immigrant momma & mangoes with stains that never fade. There is no coincidence that my editing is color-inspired, warm, & natural.

I'm married to Ben. We met in 4th grade but didn’t fall in love until years later. Our story includes 5 years of long-distance and learning that quality time is a gift. We said I Do in a way that represented who we were, with 2 ceremonies in 1 day. 

A decade of everydays

In our 10 years of marriage, we've taken on cross-country moves, traveled the world, bought our first home, and parented two foster kiddos.

My appreciation for the everyday has only grown. There is beauty in daily rituals: the morning coffees, dog walks, and laundry folding, in showing up fully & with unfiltered joy.

The heart of my work lies is in nothing-everythings: Your people, existing in this space, on your day. 

Taken with eyes wide open, each one is a love note to say: if it matters to you, it matters to me (and it all matters.)

Kind words

(from the mother of two brides)

"I wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart for the incredible job you did capturing both of my daughters’ weddings.

Having had the pleasure of watching you work at two of our most cherished family events, I can honestly say you are in a league of your own.


You have this quiet presence, full of warmth and ease, that makes everyone feel comfortable and seen.

The amount of care, the way you so naturally connect with your clients, how seamlessly you move through each moment, always somehow in the right place at the right time without ever feeling intrusive, is truly a gift.

It’s no wonder the results are as stunning as they are; you’re capturing emotion, personality, and connection in every shot.

Thank you again for being such an important part of these milestones in our family. I am forever grateful."
