Your Charlotte, NC Studio Maternity & Newborn Photographer

Hi, I'm Sofia. I am a passionate maternity, newborn, and baby photographer in Charlotte, NC. Capturing the beauty of women, expecting mothers, and their newborns is my true calling, and I'm so honored that you're exploring my work.

My passion is deeply personal. I live with medical conditions that would result in a high-risk pregnancy. While I'm not a mother myself, that experience has given me a unique perspective and reverence for the journey many of my clients walk—whether they're navigating part of their infertility journey or simply soaking in the beauty of the season they're in.

At NicSo Studio, I don't just create beautiful art—I create a safe, calming space for you to embrace this fleeting time fully. I am here to document your joy, your softness, your strength. I design every session with intention, care, and a deep understanding of how personal this chapter is.

With years of experience and a heart for connection, I specialize in creating heirloom-quality art that becomes part of your family's legacy—portraits that will live on your walls and in your hands for generations.

This work is my soul's purpose, and it's an honor to serve the women, babies, partners and families who step in front of my lens. No matter how your family is created, I see you. I honor you. And I cannot wait to help you preserve your story.

At NicSo Studio, my passion goes far beyond photography—it’s about holding space for every kind of motherhood and every kind of family.

I’m also passionate about empowering women to feel seen, celebrated, and held during this sacred season—and I proudly stand with the LGBTQIA+ community. Families come in all forms, and every one of them deserves to be documented with love, dignity, and care. Your story is safe here.

This is more than photography—it’s about creating a space where your journey is respected, your strength is honored, and your memories are preserved with intention. I’m honored to document your story and walk beside you.

I recently had the pleasure of working with a fantastic photographer named Sofia who not only captured stunning images but also created a memorable experience for my two little girls. From the moment we arrived, her warm and friendly demeanor put my children at ease. She had a natural way of connecting with them, making the entire photo shoot feel fun and effortless.

Sofia was very professional and patient with my newborn. Her creativity and vision for the shoot was gorgeous and the photos came out beautiful! Sofia is a great photographer and overall great person to interact with. She made the whole process a breeze!

Sofia  is very professional and gentle during our twins session. She is very patient and meticulous with our babies to capture as many poses as she can so we can have variations of photos to choose from. Her work is beautiful. Would recommend to all newborn parents.

Sofia and her staff offered the best experience that we could have imagined for our maternity and newborn shoots. I use the word experience because that’s truly what it was. It was much more than photographs being taken.  It’s very few days, if any, that you feel like a princess during pregnancy, but Sofia so to it that I felt every bit of that plus more while being in my third trimester....

I had my maternity and our baby newborn shoot. Sofia is very upbeat and professional. I liked that everything was taken care of and I didn’t have to worry about hair or makeup or bringing my own snacks. Sofia thought of and took care of everything. For a pregnant woman, that’s very important... We were very happy with the way she handled both shoots, the follow up and the final products.

I had an incredible experience with Sofia for my maternity photos! She was not only accommodating and helpful but also incredibly easy to work with. Sofia went above and beyond to bring my vision to life. Her attention to detail and joyful attitude made the entire process smooth and enjoyable. I’m beyond thrilled with how the photos turned out!
