Hi, I am Sonja Hughes.

I am an events, and portraits photographer from Chicago, IL. I hold a Master of Arts in Communications and Training. I use photography, as another form of communication, in which I tell a story. I have a deep love for photography, and it continues to grow daily, as I continue to grow. I learn something new every time I pick up my camera. I am constantly working to improve my skills. I have earned the Certified Professional Photographer (CPP) designation, from Professional Photographers of America.

I love to tell a story. Our lives are filled with so many different stories, with different perspectives, of which I will tell. A photograph can evoke so many emotions, feelings and mood, without saying a word. These emotions tell a story, whether you are happy or sad, or just in deep thought. May it be your wedding day, birthday celebration, or a new addition to the family, allow me to tell your story, while you enjoy your special occasion! Your story has to be told!

As First Lady Michelle Obama entered the stage, the entire audience rises to their feet, and every cell phone is raised to hopefully snap a photo of her. Her vibrant spirit and smile ignited the audience.

There's plenty discussions of their childhood as well as their college years. They are very fond of one another. Their stories was filled with much laughter and love.
