A look behind the lens

Hi, I’m Sophie Arnold — the photographer, dreamer, and storyteller behind Starlight Studio Photography. I’m 34 years old, a proud Taurus with a deep love for all things constellation and cosmic. I grew up surrounded by the beauty of Portugal, and now I’m lucky enough to capture beauty through my lens every single day.

I’m a married mum of five incredible children — two girls and three boys — who are truly my whole world. My family is everything to me, and they’re a huge part of what inspired my journey into photography. With the constant chaos, love, and laughter in my own home, I understand just how quickly time flies and how important it is to hold onto those fleeting, magical moments.

Photography started as a hobby but quickly became my passion and purpose. Over the past five years, I’ve poured my heart into building a business that’s about more than just taking pictures — it’s about creating memories that last a lifetime. Whether it’s the peaceful stillness of a newborn session, the joy of a cake smash, or the excitement of a wedding day, I bring a laid-back, kind, and vibrant energy to every shoot. I want you to feel comfortable, seen, and celebrated in front of my camera.

At Starlight Studio Photography, every session is personal, every image is intentional, and every client becomes part of the family. I feel truly blessed to do what I love — capturing the moments that matter most.
