Sonja has done my photos since 2013, she started with my engagement photos, and now she pretty much does all our family photos at least once a year. She is amazing at what she does, and she never disappoints. We love her, not only is she our photographer, but to us she is also our friend. She is amazing and has gone through life with me. I’m sad she’s leaving Alaska, but I know she will be back to visit, to hopefully do more photos for us! ❤️ More...

We first met Sonja when we were planning my daughters wedding. She was amazing from the start having now photographed their engagement, wedding, maternity, newborn, and cake smash. Also, my son and daughter in law have gone to Sonja for newborn and cake smash pictures. In March Sonja photographed 20 members of our family and just last month we traveled to Anchorage for Senior pictures for my son. I think it's safe to say that Sonja will be trully missed on the peninsula and welcomed back any time for mini sessions but that our loss is definetely Anchorage's gain. I'm thrilled to have met her when we did and so thankful she has captured such special memories with her talents. More...

Every time I look at our wedding pictures I find a new favorite. Sonja truly captured the story of our day, I could not be happier with the final product. She is also incredibly easy to work with. She did an excellent job at capturing my "must have" photos and also used her creative eye to capture pictures I have fallen in love with. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer who will make you re-live your special day! More...

Dolce Vita Photo Boutique has such a warm welcome & creative eye that captures the essence of who we are. Every year, Sonja makes family photos such a relaxing & organic feel that allows my son (who is now a teenager) to be who he is & she captures magic in her film. I'm beyond grateful to have these treasures & I never feel like any 2 photos are the same......each snap is a special moment different & unique to who we are! More...

When we decided to get married we knew it would have to be in downtown Anchorage, you know we had to pay homage to where we met, so I wanted a photographer who loved downtown as much as we did. Sonja is amazing! I cannot stop gushing over her dedication to her clients or the beautiful quality of photos we received. In our first meeting with Sonja we clicked. She is such a bright and vibrant soul. Her passion for her work, clients and downtown Anchorage can’t be matched. Our wedding was Memorial Day weekend 2018 and Sonja provided us with a phenomenal service. She is so down to earth, so easy to work with and has the patience of an saint because I know we were annoying lol! Her packages are reasonably priced and she was super flexible working with our budget and customizing our photo package to our needs. Her style is very editorial, clean and classic. I have been so happy with the photos I’ve received so far. She now offers her photo studio to brides, which can be added on to your packages. YOU MUST RENT HER STUDIO FOR YOUR GETTING READY PHOTOS!! It’s much nicer than a hotel, she has a gorgeous vanity set up, it’s very roomy, styles well with great furniture but most importantly is has the most beautiful abundance of natural light. Which makes for amazing photos, but even better selfies. I’m so glad I chose this add on over getting a hotel room downtown. First of all it’s cheaper than getting a hotel room because it has more than enough space for 12+ people; the space is divided. I got ready in the back room and my groom showed up later and got ready in the front room. It was perfect in every aspect. I cannot thank Sonja and her husband enough for the amazing experience they provided us on our wedding day. She also does amazing boudoir and senior photos too! More...

We did my senior pictures here, and I gotta say, she's a genius. She had the best places and ideas where to go, and the shots she took (even BEFORE editing) were absolutely fantastic! Would definitely go again.

I have had many extremely talented professional photographers as friends and family, so I have learned to be very picky with my photographers and photos. After moving to a new state where I knew no one, hiring a photographer felt very risky. Dolce Vita was worth the risk! Wonderful to work with, very professional and gorgeous photographs! Thank you Sonja! ❤ More...

I can't say enough good things about this wonderful couple! Sonja and her husband photographed my Wedding last July and they were absolutely amazing! ! From the very beginning Sonja was an absolute delight to work with! Her downtown studio is hip, clean and showcases her work to a T! She is easy to work with and has an eye for detailed shots! I look back through the pictures of my wedding day and I can't help but smile each time. Sonja captured the love of that day in her photos and for that I am forever grateful! THANK YOU SONJA! More...

I would recommend Sonja without hesitation, she is hands down one of the best photographers I've had the pleasure of working with. She was awesome at capturing the beautiful fall scenery while taking my daughter's & I photos. Also, I loved her eye for capturing the special moments between us! You won't regret giving her a try!

I collaborated with Ms Sonja & Mr Dave last weekend and snuck a peak at some of their images and wow! -- these two know what they're doing and this husband-wife pair even stuck around past their contracted time to ensure the images they wanted to get were captured. Way to go you two!

What’s the secret to taking a great photograph?
The secret to taking great photographs would be having lighting right, lighting is essential in taking a great photograph.
What questions might you ask a client when starting a new project?
How did you and your significant other meet? What are your dreams? What are your hobbies?
What do you love most about your job?
That I am able to capture moments in time for my clients to revisit decades to come.
What inspired you to start your own business?
My son, I wanted to make sure I can capture every moment after he was born and it turned in to a profession.
Why should our clients choose you?
Just like them, we are one of a kind and my clients deserve to have a intimate and custom experience when it comes to their portrait session. We try to make each session personal and unique and make sure what shines the most is captures, them and their love and laughter.
