The Process

Before we create anything, I take time to understand what matters most to you — what you’re hoping to capture and why. That way, the direction feels thoughtful and true from the start.

Creating something meaningful starts with paying attention. Every project begins with understanding the story we’re trying to tell.

She has a true gift at bringing your vision to life. I partnered with Joyful State Creative to produce a brand trailer for my business and could not be happier with the results. In fact, just watching the magic we created together brings tears to my eyes. I highly recommend hiring Sophia for whatever project you have in mind. Look no further, cause she's your girl!

Sophia is AMAZING! I am so blown away by her talent both as a videographer and creative director.

I could say so much about Joyful State Creative and working with Sophia! But I will keep it simple. It was such a blessing to work with her and her brother. Not only did they travel a good distance to capture our wedding… but they paid attention to all the details and put every ounce of effort in!

Everyone that sees our wedding video is in awe of how beautiful it turned out!

She captured some of the special moments that I, as the bride, did not get to see and incorporated them into a sweet film for us to look back on! We will forever cherish our wedding video and are so thankful for Joyful State Creative!

Sophia was the absolute best to work with on our wedding day!

- Kennedy Meehan, The Azure Agency

Her ability to create content that elevates whatever she is capturing is unmatched. 10/10 recommend!

Such an absolute pleasure working with Sophia!

I believe the best stories are captured through genuine moments. Whether it’s a brand trailer, a photography session, or a wedding video, I immerse myself in the environment to capture the authentic essence of your experience.

Immersion

Story First

My work is rooted in authenticity. I focus on real interactions, natural movement, and atmosphere rather than forcing moments. The goal is always to create something that feels true — not staged.

Refinement

After filming or photographing, I shape the story carefully — editing with intention and attention to detail. I value collaboration and thoughtful feedback, ensuring the final work feels complete and aligned.

If this approach resonates with you, I’d love to hear what you’re dreaming up.
