Well hi there!

Sofia Marcus-Myers Headshot.jpg

I’m Sofia Angelina.

I'm a portrait photographer and healer based in Portland, Oregon. I’m a huge fan of glitter, crafts, and shoefies. I do what I do because I love people and I love holding space for people where they feel seen. One of the coolest things about photography is that it opens up so many opportunities to create deep connections and relationships. I can’t wait to hangout with you!

Photo of the Week

About This Photo:
On Saturday, I photographed Self-Discovery Group’s live manifestation and meditation event. Self-Discovery Group is the website and eCourse platform I run with my mom. My camera has a silent shutter mode, which made it possible for me to get photos of people meditating. The woman in this photo is seriously incredible! Her name is Sarah Lakey and she teaches meditation at YoYo Yogi in the Pearl. You should definitely go take a class from her if you’re in Portland and are interested in meditation!

I gotta say, I’ve never gotten roadside views quite like the ones I got today 🚗 .

Yesterday was Ben’s birthday and after enjoying a trip to the local farmers market, we realized that we were being bitten by bugs. At first we thought they were ticks, but we later determined they are probably bed bugs. After a day of moving hotels and cleaning literally everything (with a lot of help - thankfully - from the lovely woman who managed the hotel we moved to), we got to celebrate for a couple of hours in the evening. But it sure was an exhausting day filled with research about bed bugs! Today we moved to an Airbnb and we found several religious figures and statues out back, with a beautiful little trail and view of the volcano. I’ve been thinking a lot about how we present ourselves on Instagram, specifically when we travel. Traveling can be really hard and we tend not to share those moments because they don’t get as much positive attention. It’s really exhausting to keep up that persona for people online. Because sometimes all you have to share is that you’re being eaten alive (figuratively or literally). 😂
Found where to jump 🌊💗

Got lost in some eerie woods yesterday and ended up here, which would have been kind of nice, but the sun was quickly going down and we had to walk the 6ish miles back through that eerie forest hopefully before the sun completely set. Not to mention that the sulfur radiating from this water was giving both of us a headache. I was so exhausted running back through that forest that I started to have auras. After several miles, slips, and ankle twists, we ended up getting back with just enough light to barely see the trees in front of us. The last picture is what it looked like when we finally got out of the woods. By the time we got to the car, we were completely enveloped by darkness, after which we had a 3 hour drive back to our hostel. The birds and crickets made loud sounds that were almost mechanical, and we got howled at by howler monkeys that sounded like God. It was a very Alice in Wonderland experience, letting curiosity get the best of us. It was an adventure for sure! 🌊🐒🌴
Lines on the trail today 🌴🌀

Ben and I spent the day with two women, both named Holly, who we met at our hostel. We took them to Río Celeste with us and walked, swam, and ate with them. Meeting new people is my favorite thing about hostels. Have you met someone at a hostel and decided to take a spontaneous trip with them?

Also, what about all these lines in the rainforest? They’re so beautiful how they come together. 🌴 .

Took a hike to see Río Celeste today, and yes, the water really is this blue. It’s caused by a chemical reaction between sulfur and carbonate, but mythology says that it’s so blue because it’s where God rinsed his brush when he was done painting the world, which became this celeste hue. At any rate, it was one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen and a magical place to swim. You can’t swim under the waterfall, but there are places to pull off on the road where you can go swimming. 💎💙🌊 Swipe the see the waterfall.

Today was all about water. It shined and poured on us here at these natural hot springs. I love the rainforest. 💚
