Lifestyle & Documentary-inspired Photographer
Serving New Jersey & Beyond

Based in Jersey City, NJ, I'm a documentary-inspired portrait  photographer with over 5 years of experience and an affinity for the beauty of life’s unscripted moments. My approach is warm, nostalgic, and spontaneous, connecting with clients in a way that let's their true light shine. 

I believe each of our lives holds a story that deserves to be told and I love creating art that authentically captures how people feel. When you view your photos, I want you to fall in love with the light that shines through each photo.

Whether you're celebrating love or commemorating a new milestone, I'm here to capture the joy of your journey so you can cherish your favorite  moments for years to come. 

Let's create magic Together!

Hi, I'm Soraya...

and I'm so happy you're here!

"What I appreciated most was how Soraya made the session feel thoughtful and personal. It wasn’t just about taking beautiful pictures—it was about capturing our journey to parenthood in a place that holds so much significance in our relationship.

I’ll cherish these photos for a lifetime."
