Skills, Aptitudes and Experience
Putting the customer first, and I have been photographing and writing Santa letters since I was very young. I am aware of how presentation of the environment in which I work, effects the outcome of the photograph. I am capable of taking pictures which captures not only the physical aspects of the scenery, but the essence as well. Photography is not just about taking a pictures, it's about catching the mood and essence of what is being photographed. They say a picture is worth a thousand words, and only someone that can see an object and express those 1000 words understands how it makes the difference between a picture, and a professional photograph. I feel confident that I not only capture the physical essence of when I am taking a picture of, but also the mood and atmosphere behind the event in which the photo is taken. I am also skilled in understanding all the mechanisms of a camera. I know how to utilize not only a digital camera, but I am also familiar with older models which require traditional film. I am also proficient in photographic editing and restoration, which allows another resource for improving pictures and bringing out the essence of the moment it was captured. Santa portraits and letters to Santa Claus is a special love of mine at Christmastime!
Why I created this business, and why it's important to me
This form of business is my dream because it allows me to be who I am, without fear of judgement or criticism. I also feel this business will allow me to reach my goals of accomplishing something for myself, and for society. It will give me purpose, and hope, that I can provide others with joy when they look at my pictures.

About Website Owner
Sonja is one of Santa's many helpers. This time of year, she "writes letters" on Santa's behalf. Sure, Santa's workshop is in the North Pole, but Sonja has worked remotely from North Carolina for decades, long before it was in vogue. West, who moved to Winston-Salem from Boone in June 2021, operates the writesantaletter.com web site, which includes holiday stories, songs and a chance to write a letter to the big guy himself. Sonja started writing the letters because of her deep love for Santa and wanting to share that with others.
