Join us on Behind the Lens: A Photographer's Life as we delve into the extraordinary world of Rita from Sonara Studios, and discover the story behind "Two Studios, One Vision." From the tranquil countryside setting of Loughborough to the bustling high street of Oakham, Rita and her husband have built a remarkable legacy in portrait photography.

This episode explores how their distinct studio locations contribute to a single, unwavering commitment: to capture the genuine essence of every individual. Rita shares how the journey from film to digital photography shaped their craft, the deep-rooted family history that inspired their studio name, and why, for over 30 years, their focus has remained on creating timeless, printed portraits that become cherished family heirlooms.

She reveals the conscious shift from high-volume sessions to providing a more personal, luxury experience, and why avoiding distracting clothing is crucial for enduring portraits. This is more than just a business story; it's a testament to passion, adaptation, and the enduring power of human connection, all under "One Vision" of photographic excellence.
