I pour my heart into every piece I create. Whether I’m drawing your loved ones live at your wedding or working on a custom design, my goal is to create art that feels fun and personal. I want your guests to smile, laugh, and walk away with a cute keepsake that they will treasure long after your celebration. Every line is drawn with joy, intention, and that cozy, light hearted SOFA touch. The keepsake is meant to feel magical and memorable.

Before your big day, I create a custom couple portrait to display at your event. Something adorable for guests to enjoy as they walk in. I arrive early to set up and photograph your guests so each portrait is drawn with care and accuracy in my signature, cartoon style. During the celebration, I draw one portrait per guest. Every 5x7 portrait is sealed in a clear sleeve so your guests can take home the sweetest little memory.

My approach is warm, intentional, and full of heart. Whether I’m drawing live or designing custom sneakers, I take the time to understand your story so each piece feels meaningful, playful, and beautifully personal.

Custom Portrait for Couple

Before your wedding, I create a custom portrait of the two of you to display at your event. This portrait is finished and framed ahead of time to be displayed at your wedding for guests to enjoy. Couples will receive it as a special keepsake after the celebration.

At your wedding or event, I arrive early to set up and photograph your guests, then create each portrait with care throughout the celebration. Every 5x7 piece is made with premium materials and placed in a clear sleeve, giving your guests a cute and meaningful keepsake to take home.

Live Guest Portraits

Each pair of custom sneakers is designed with heart and intention. I learn your style and story, then hand-draw a design that feels personal and uniquely you. Every shoe becomes a fun, wearable piece of art made just for you.

What My Clients Say

"SOFA Designs is such a unique and wonderful touch to any special event. We just had them at our wedding reception last month, and it was a hit!! The live portraits are sweet and detailed. Truly a special and creative gift for guests. Sophia and her partner are professional to work with and very kind.
Highly recommended!"

-Thao Phi

"Sophia was a dream to work with! From the moment we saw her work on Instagram, we knew we needed her at our wedding. She was easy to communicate with and worth every penny. Our guests raved about her art and we were so thrilled by it all. Top tier experience!"

-Marisa & Will Richard

The Process

I take a quick photo of each guest to ensure accuracy and keep the line moving, allowing everyone to enjoy the event while I work from their photo. Completed portraits are displayed for pickup throughout the event or at the end.

FAQ

  • Start by filling out the inquiry form so I can learn more about you and your event. I’ll follow up with availability, pricing, and next steps. Once your date is secured, I’ll stay in touch and make the process easy and stress-free.

  • Live portraits start at $2,500–$3,000, and pricing may vary based on travel distance and the size of your guest list.

  • I arrive a little before your event begins to set up and start photographing your guests, and I stay until your event ends to make sure everything feels smooth, joyful, and that as many guests as possible receive their sweet portrait.
