Sonja Blietschau Photography

Why you should never compromise when choosing a photograph to represent you and your business.
It only takes one-tenth of a second for another human to form a first impression of us. It is part of an evolutionary survival strategy. Trustworthiness is one of the traits we evaluate and judge first when looking at another human.
... Whether we like it or not, we get judged by our profile pictures; consciously and unconsciously.
Ensure that your profile picture makes the right first impression. It’s vital!

Working with Saffron was phenomenal. Hopefully her new headshots will get her kids of work. She surely isn‚Äôt just the ‚Äúgirl next door‚ÄĚ. Look at that determination ūü§®

Another day of admin and editing then preparing the gear for 5 days shooting. 2 weddings, a film set and 2 days with a local football club. More headshots next week.

Sonja is wonderful! She took time to talk me through everything, explaining different as we went. Made me feel very comfortable in front of the camera ÔŅĹÔŅĹÔŅĹÔŅĹÔŅĹ she also makes a mean cup of coffee ÔŅĹÔŅĹÔŅĹÔŅĹÔŅĹÔŅĹ

I had a Christmas themed shoot with my 2 kids who are 2 and 6. Sonja was lovely made the kids feel at ease and relaxed. The kids loved it would highly recommend Sonja to capture your special moments.
