Sophia & Sisterhood
When Jules and I photographed Brittney and Lore's engagement photos, Brittney told us about her best friend sophia. She referred to her as her 'life wife'. They met while they were roommates at Princeton and they formed an instant sisterhood that has lasted over time and distance. When Brittney has stressful days or needs emotional support she says she calls Sophia and Sophia offers comedic relief and sage advice.
While in Mexico I met sophia and quickly realized why she had earned the honor of life wife to Brittney. Sophia is gorgeous, fiery & hilarious and she's a writer who loves sci-fi. We talked about how how the hardest part about being a writer is laboring alone to manifest a story from the shadows in ourselves to give it to the world as a gift of light. As I was returning to my room to work on photographs someone asked if she wanted another shot from the bar when she responded "when I drink too much I become a crying oracle" and I got a little jealous she wasn't my life wife. :)
In a celebration to sisterhood and crying oracles - here are a few portraits of Sophia.
