Love Bucket Photo bio picture

Welcome...

...to LOVE BUCKET photo's fabulous blog! Here I am posting sneak peeks of recent sessions as well as information on everything else I do and offer. ( > Check out all the awesome things you can do with your precious photographs in the inspiration section under the info tab).

A little bit about myself… I am so lucky to do what I do: I get to create truly meaningful photographs that will be cherished for years and generations to come. This must be the most rewarding aspect of my profession and comes with responsibility!     My family and wedding portraiture can best be described as colorful, whimsical, spontaneous, contemporary, and a bit “larger than life.” I strive to capture those precious moments and interactions that are so fleeting and turn them into a piece of art. While my coverage is very journalistic, I do include posed shots that are more stylized. I am all about variety -  let’s change the outfit, angle, backdrop, mood…I want you to walk away with a whole album of beautiful memories.
 
Besides the fact that I have always loved photography…I was born in former East-Germany where I lived until my family migrated to West-Berlin in 1989 (exactly six days before the fall of the Berlin Wall). I lived, studied, and worked in Germany most of my life until I met my husband and followed him to the United States. After working in photography both commercially and artistically for a number of years, I received my MFA in photography in 2007 at SCAD and now live with my husband and two sons in Venice, CA. My work has been published and exhibited internationally in cities like Berlin, Atlanta, Savannah, and Los Angeles.

“I am in love with the images of my children that Sophie Jacobson produced! I simply admire the colorful and lively approach she takes to capture personalities. I remember a lovely afternoon filled with ease but kept professional by constant consideration to color, light and sight. Sophie was very flexible to what I had in mind, and, naturally, came with her own ideas as to what works for my children in particular. I’ll return to her because she surpasses other experiences I had in quality, professionalism, and mere joy in getting my loved ones’ pictures taken!”

“Sophie was great to work with. She really had a natural way with my daughter and made her feel comfortable in front of the camera. She also had a very creative approach that was refreshing and organic. We never felt ‘on the spot’ while we were getting our family portraits done, we could be ourselves; she captured some beautiful family moments that we’ll always have with us now! I look forward to working with her again.” Catherine B.

“I was more than happy with the overall experience of our photo shoot with Sophie Jacobson.  The locale, her choice in shots, and her use of props and color all enhanced the creative process.  The end product is as professional as it gets, and we really love the pictures of our daughter.  I’d recommend Sophie to anyone, and I can’t wait to do it again.”  Barry K.
