Reviews of Sophia Lemon, Photography for Ridiculously Happy People (Photo Studio)

Brad Barfoot

Sophia is a pleasure to work with and did an excellent job on our team Real Estate photos. She provided a great space and a comfortable environment and we had the finished product in a timely manner.

Since Sophia started photographing our fundraising events I've been spoiled with so many wonderful images to use in marketing for the Alzheimer Society of Grey-Bruce. The hardest part used to be finding an image - now it's choosing between options. She's a treat to work with. When I set out to start a photography group for people with dementia she provided some great advice and insights. If you aren't already you'll be ridiculously happy after working with Sophia.

Irene Cramp

Sophia has now done two professional photos for me, and the feedback I have received for both has been overwhelmingly great. She has a calm laid-back approach that sets you at ease, even if you're not comfortable in front of the camera. And her results speak for themselves. She is my go-to photographer, and she should be yours!

Meg Lisle

Working with Sophia was so fantastic, right from the initial meeting through to the after-wedding decision making regarding our album. Her enthusiasm, investment, and cheerfulness are unlimited, and her professionalism cannot be matched. We received digital access to our images within a few weeks, and her patience with my inability to choose favourites (there are so many!) is unparalleled. The images captured by Sophia were beyond anything my husband and I expected: the serious moments were documented perfectly; the humorous moments are reflected in the number of smiles we have on display; the romance of the day is evident in every single image, but especially those of me and my husband sneaking little moments together. (We didn't even know Sophia or her assistant Kate were even there!) I simply cannot say enough good things about working with Sophia. She is not only a fantastic and talented photographer, but also an amazingly kind and thoughtful person who will go out of her way to make sure that you have the pictures you've dreamed of for your engagement and wedding. Without a doubt, she's made me and my husband ridiculously happy!

I recently had the the pleasure of meeting and working with Sophia Lemon. She is a talented photographer, excellent to work with and extremely organized and efficient. I am very happy with all my photos and the whole process. If you ever need beautiful photographs, she's your girl!

Day One Leadership

Sophia was the first professional photographer with whom I've ever worked, and since then, she's the only one I've ever used. Professional, talented, and remarkably flexible and easy to work with. And most importantly, the photos I've received have been brilliant. She's so much more than a wedding photographer - I've had her take headshots, promotional photos, and document live events, and she's always made sure to deliver exactly what I was looking for without any hassle. Highly recommended!

Benjamin Phillip Frisch

If you couldn't tell from her branding Sophia is such a people person. I think that's why her work is so great, because she's fun and brings out a lot of natural joy and laughter out of her subjects. As a marketing professional, I have recommended her to many of my clients for personal branding photos and all of them have been extremely happy with the process and results. Sophia also photographed my family including all 3 generations. She was a lot of fun to work with but also incredibly organized and professional when it came to reviewing the proofs and ordering prints. I will continue to recommend Sophia to anyone looking for great photography because I know they will not be disappointed.

Kim Longley

Hair Body & Soul has had the pleasure of working with Sophia Lemon Photography on many occasions and we have never been disappointed. We are particularly happy with the headshots that she has provided for our website. Pleasing aesthetics is very important in our industry and Sophia continues to deliver top quality work. We highly recommend her

"Sophia was an absolute pleasure to work with! We were so impressed with the time she took to get to know us, our love story and how personalized she made the whole experience. She did a great job capturing our proposal in a natural and candid way. Our photos came out beautifully, and we can't wait to see them printed! The quality of her work is brilliant, and within a few days of our proposal she had a handful of selected photos and a story about our proposal active online so we could share it with our family and friends. Sophia was accommodating and flexible, always keeping our stress levels to a minimum with her laugh, positivity and calm manner. We highly recommend her services and definitely want her to be our wedding photographer!"

Fiona Proctor

Sophia was phenomenal to work with. We were able to set up a meeting, location, what I was looking for in a matter of minutes. The photo shoot was fun and Sophia took the pain out of having my photos taken by acknowledging the discomfort and then getting me laughing. She had my proofs to me very quickly. You're excellent at capturing the moment Sophia!

Jenn & Chris Wedding Email

We have hired Sophia as our photographer for our engagement and our wedding. We had our engagement photos done in November. Absolutely WONDERFUL. She did such an amazing job and made us feel 100% comfortable. She had great ideas and was so patient with our dog who was in some of the photos. We got our photos back so quick and the book she put together for us had us speechless. We are so thankful we found Sophia and we cannot wait to have her photograph our big day! Chris & Jenn

Sophias team was amazing! She captured moments that we will have forever, we love that she was able to catch us being us. Silly and happy. Thank you for all the wonderful pictures and we look forward to using you again in the future. Lilly and Harant

Blake Hetherington

She was great & she new exactly what we wanted. She also kept us in line & made sure we got all the shots that we had asked for. Thanks Sophia!

Liane P

Working with Sophia on our wedding day was a blessing. Having a photographer capture all the little moments of our wedding is quite intimate and so choosing someone that you are comfortable with is so important. Due to COVID, all of our interactions before the day were over zoom but from the very start, Sophia made herself available to answer all of our questions, find out about us, our story, and what was important to us on that day. Having a portal to share information was so easy and ensured that we had a say in the kind of photos we were looking for and the “must have” shots we wanted. Meeting on that day honestly felt like we were meeting a friend. Sophia was so personable, telling us exactly what she needed from us for the more intimate pictures and blended into to the background to capture amazing pictures of special moments with our friends and family. Thank you Sophia for the beautiful memories that you were able to capture. We will treasure them forever.

The Patch Guelph

A lovely experience! After seeing our friends wedding photos we were so excited for her to shoot ours! I would highly recommend her!

Grishma Saheba

Sophia photographed our proposal for us. Let me start by saying the finished pictures are AMAZING! She was very quick to respond and was great throughout the coordination of the 'surprise' element. The turnaround time for sneak peak was very quick and the platform she uses is easy to navigate. Would highly recommend her!

PETRO TIAHUR

Experience is everything. Sophia is an experienced professional providing a fun atmosphere while making it look and feel effortless. Quality workmanship and timely delivery are sure to create a lasting impression and a great experience.

Jordan Baker

We've really enjoyed working with Sophia. She has always responded promptly to messages and questions. We have been able customize our package with her as we prepare for our wedding day. When it came time for our engagement photo session, we found Sophia easy to work with and open to our ideas. As the pro, we were also very comfortable to ask what she thought might be best, and she always had ideas and guidance. Of course, the photos were great! The evening was fun and natural. We wanted our photos to look like us, and she did a great job of capturing who we are together. We feel very confident in her and are looking forward to working with her again at our wedding!

Kevin Garvie

Sophia is a fantastic photographer! We won her Valentine's Day Contest and ended up getting our engagement photos done with her! She was so professional and easy to get along with! She made us feel very comfortable as we can be a bit camera shy! She told us how to 'pose' to capture some great photographs! I love how natural the photos turned out! We have had so many compliments on her style! I definitely recommend her! -Jody & Kevin

Irena Mills

Hiring Sophia Lemon as our photographer for our engagement and wedding photos was a wonderful decision. She and her team did an amazing job and maintained a very high level of professionalism. We would absolutely hire her again in a heartbeat to capture the events of our special day. The photographs were all very lovely. We also purchased a canvas with one of our favourite photograph's from that day and it is hanging in our living room reminding us of our special moment. Sophia is wonderful to work with and has a very easygoing personality that adds to the experience. We strongly recommend her services as a photographer. Thank you Sophia!

Melissa Bennett

I am super awkward when it comes to getting my photo taken, so a big THANK YOU goes out to Sophia Lemon for accepting this challenge. She was so much fun to work with and THANK GOD I will have her on my wedding day to keep me on track and looking ridiculously happy

Joanna Tellis

Sophia was a part of our surprise engagement this December and Blue Mountain. My fiance was looking for a photographer in the Blue Mountain area and stumbled upon Sophia. She captured our story and the moments so beautifully, and even got us some proofs that night so we could share our excitement with our family and friends. Being that I was totally surprised by all of this, her pictures created such a wonderful memory of one of the best days of my life. She was very easy going and we had a lot of fun with her. She took us to a variety of locations so we could get different shots and gave us great suggestions of what to do since neither one of us had ever been professionally photographed. We would definitely recommend her. Thank You Sophia!

Jennifer Porter

I did a boudoir session with Sophia...something that I wanted to do but was totally out of my comfort zone. Sophia made me feel instantly comfortable in the studio and in my own skin, and the session was so much fun! Lots of potentially awkward moments that we laughed away and the end results were fantastic! The final products (I had a pictorial book made and some individual prints) were stunning. Beautiful high quality products presented just as beautifully. I would recommend all women do this kind of photo session once in their life, and would HIGHLY recommend that they have Sophia capture it on film.

Thank you Sophia. What started out as a simple photo shoot of my kids and me turned into a treasured artistic expression of us. Each time I walk by your work i am greeted by the perfectly captured smiles of my smalls: Ava and Sullivan. Am grateful for your help and creative talents. To anyone wanting to capture a unique expression of special moments in time I recommend you draw on Sophia's talents.

Jeff and Emiko's Wedding

We love Sophia's photos. They are beautiful! The lighting was perfect and she captured precious moments perfectly. Until we saw photos, we did not even realize these moments existed. Sophia is very friendly and easy to work with. She accommodated to our special requests and she is very understanding. She is very flexible, which made it easy to make a plan for the photo sessions. We are looking forward to working with her again in the future.

Ashima Gulati

Sophia was amazing!!!! She coordinated with my fiance over a few weeks as they secretly planned the proposal, and when it came time it was a very cold day and she stuck it out and photographed us and our family without any pressure to wrap up! Not only was she a good sport and hid in the cold until we came, she was patient with our families and ensuring we were able to capture the memories during this special time. She's also great with direction!!! which we so appreciate as both myself and fiance are not good with posing and I have to say we love each and everyone of the pictures, they looked so natural! Did I forget to mention that Sophia turned around our edited pictures THE SAME DAY?!!!! We were on such a high and to have the pictures sent to us that evening to look at them as a family just made the day even more special! Lastly, that day it happened to snow quite a bit and Sophia's edits made it look so magical like it was a true winter wonderland! She is very talented, personable, easy to work with and professional! We highly recommend Sophia to photograph your special moments!

Lane McMeekin

We had such a fun and relaxed time with Sophia, and she knows her stuff! I would highly recommend!

Meghan Cooper

We were so lucky to have found Sophia to photograph our wedding! Not only was she professional & friendly, but she captured many beautiful pictures of our special day that my husband & I cherish. More recently, Sophia came to our rescue when we had lost some of our wedding pictures and she was able to replace them (& in such a timely manner!) - we are forever grateful to Sophia and for all that she does!

Elena Ongpin

Sophia is wonderful! She is friendly, professional and extremely talented. She made us feel comfortable when meeting her for the first time. She is personable and amicable. It’s not the easiest thing to let yourself become vulnerable and pose for pictures especially if you’re not use to having your pictures taken. However she made capturing one of our most memorable days (proposal) very enjoyable and romantic despite the freezing end-of-December temperatures at Blue Mountain! Our pictures turned out so beautiful. The lighting was perfect and made both my fiancé and I glow. Not to mention photogenic! She was able to capture not just our good side but the love we have for each other. My fiancé and I both highly recommend her work. Thank you Sophia for your wonderful work.

Jamie Gallagher

Accommodating! Fun! Communicative! Loved the turn out! Was nervous at first but didn’t want the session to end!

Amanda Sylvest

Thank you Sophia for some amazing high quality photos! Sophia was able to capture some great head shots of our entire staff in her photography studio (even some bloopers!). We had a few laughs and she made us all feel completely comfortable in front of the camera…even though some of us are camera shy! From start to finish the experience was wonderful, we would highly recommend Sophia for your next photo session. Great job! Core Partners Group - IPC Securities Corp.

Susan McCart

Sophia is a master of her photography craft. The ultimate professional and exceeded my expectations on every level. Getting my photo taken is one of my least favourite things to do, kind of up there with going to the dentist! It was a necessary thing to do for my business so I dug deep and made the call. Sophia assured me that it would be a pleasant experience, one I would actually enjoy and she was right. First thing she did was organize my hair and makeup to be professionally done and the results were fantastic. From start to finish of the photo shoot, Sophia made me feel comfortable in my own skin and helped me to relax and have fun. The results shocked me and I was given a wonderful portfolio to draw from for social media and website pics. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend or use Sophia again, she is a gifted photographer and all around fabulous person.

Kim Sowerby

Sophia is always fun and energetic making photo sessions a great experience

Sophia captured every moment from our wedding perfectly. The love and attention that goes into her work is unparalleled and makes every photo a treasure. She makes being in front of a camera very comfortable and even somehow natural and it really shows in the final product. She puts her clients first and looks after every little detail so the photos and sessions are wonderful, happy memories. We were certainly ridiculously happy after working with Sophia!

Jessica Caceres

Sophia was AH. MAZ. ING!! I had contemplated hiring a photographer for a rebranding photoshoot for some time, but had not gotten around to it. Then I had a friend highly recommend Sophia, and after browsing her gallery I was instantly in love with her style and artistic eye. The day of the shoot was a total breeze. She was organized and had the best make up/hair artist (thanks again Katie), so I literally showed up, got beautified and had a fun photoshoot. Sophia was super easy going, funny and had a ton of great ideas. When I got my pics, I was entirely blown away! I knew they would be good, but they exceeded my expectations by miles. Thank you SOPHIA!!! You are amazing at what you do and I would hire you again in a heartbeat!

Madeline Carmichael

We had a great time working with Sophia for some winter family photos! She was always available to answer questions, fun and easy-going to work with during the actual photo shoot, and has been very helpful in the follow-up choosing which photos to print. Would definitely recommend for whatever occasion you're looking at hiring a photographer for!

Robyn Sheldon

My family had our first experience doing a photo shoot with Sophia this fall and she was fantastic! We have a young toddler who is always on the run PLUS a new puppy, yet she was able to capture some beautiful pictures for us. She was patient, and easy to work with. Thank you for capturing some beautiful memories for our family Sophia! Looking forward to the next one.

Silke Boker

Sophia, your business name says it all. You have a way of bringing the ridiculous happiness out in everybody and your photos are proof of it. You have a way of taking away the fear of the camera, making for a relaxed athmosphere. And you operate highly professional and with integrity, leaving your customers with amazing pieces of memories to cherish. We highly recommend Sophia! Silke

Beckie Reekie

Sophia was great! Our family session was comfortable and enjoyable. Most definitely will be using in future sessions. Highly recommended.

Chelsea Postill

Sophia was just amazing to work with for our engagement shoot. My fiance and I are not the most photogenic people but quickly realized that didn't matter. We were able to just be our pure natural selves and Sophia captured true moments that came out just beautifully. Her eye for the surrounding scenery is amazing. My only request for scenery was that it had greenery, water, and rocks. She was able to suggest a location with all of that. I can't wait to see our wedding photos now... just have to wait another 13 months. Definitely recommend Sophia for anyone looking for an excellent photographer that takes pride in their shots, catches natural moments and doesn't do typical poses.

Christina De Palma

I am not comfortable getting my photo taken but Sophia made the experience comfortable and fun! She kept the atmosphere positive and the pictures turned out great! If anyone is looking for a photographer I would highly recommend Sophia Lemon.

Ghislain Godin

Sophia recently photographed our wedding in Collingwood. Her and her team did a fantastic job. Since we lived several hours away Sophia set up multiple meetings to keep us informed. She also insisted on having an engagement photo session, which was great! It gave us the chance to meet with her and get to know her style and vice versa. She was able to handle me and my "energetic" groomsman and keep our wedding party on track. Will definitely recommend her services!

Sarah Sutton

We decided to go with Sophia for our wedding photos after she beautifully covered my cousins wedding a couple years before. She was very great to work with and professional. My husband and I are both awkward when it comes to having our photos taken, but Sophia made it so easy! Every photo turned out so beautiful and we are extremely happy with how they turned out. Looking at our photo album brings us back to that day and allows us to relive it through every photo. We highly recommend using Sophia to photograph your day! We will definitely be going to her again for all of our photography needs.

Jenn Kitchen

I got some boudoir photos done through Sophia and it was an amazing experience! She made the process so easy and I felt so comfortable! And they turned out so much better than I thought they could! I could not recommend her enough for our wedding photography and the same goes for the boudoir photos—she is so amazing! Thank you Sophia! You really are an amazing photographic and wonderful person!

Leanne Morrison

Leon and I were very lucky to have Sophia photograph our wedding this past summer. We had a budget conscious 1 hour shoot at the Arboretum in Collingwood. The scenery, lighting, and overall results were amazing! Thank you so much for capturing a special moment in our lives. Thank you as well for all of the pre-organization and follow-up too. Now we'll need to get some baby shots this coming summer...

Mary Rosenburg

Sophia photographed our engagement session and our wedding day! For two people who are SO nervous in front of the camera, Sophia made it fun and easy-going. She was very professional and her photos clearly show that! Throughout our wedding day there were some hiccups with guests (and maybe the wedding party!) but Sophia handled everything and we were able to share a laugh afterwards! From start to end our process with Sophia was so positive. She is quick to respond to emails and texts during working hours - and her website is so easy to use!! We can’t wait for our photo album, loved our sneak peak video! I told Sophia that during the wedding ceremony, I completely forgot she and her co-photographer Melissa were there because I couldn’t see or hear them!! I highly recommend using Sophia Lemon’s photography skills... and following her on social media, she has great posts and CUTE pets!! We will be recommending her to everyone... and we haven’t even seen our final photos yet!!

Bricklin Perkins

Sophia was the photographer for our wedding and engagement photos and she is amazing! It has been two years since our wedding and I still go back almost every day to look at the beautiful photos she took. She was punctual, professional, and was able to handle my demanding family with grace. She made sure that only mine and my husband's wishes were followed and followed up to make sure all the photos on our wish list were taken. My husband and I don't feel photogenic but Sophia was able to prove us wrong. I admired Sophia's work for years always saying "if I ever get married, I want her to be the photographer" even when I didn't think I would ever want to get married. I just loved the way that everyone in her photos were happy. Now we have those photos of everyone smiling and it's of us and our family. I can't recommend Sophia enough.
