Sonya Trevizo

Sonya Trevizo, aka Susan Takaroff, was born in New York City. Her family moved to Schenectady NY when she was eight years old because her father had secured a position teaching music in the public schools. She earned a Liberal Arts degree with a specialization in photography at SUNY Binghamton. Her photography career began in Colorado at Sears Portrait Studio, and soon continued at Candid Weddings. She resumed her career at Lifetouch International Studios as a school photographer. The opportunity to write began when she volunteered at horse rescues. Since one of her responsibilities there was to photograph horses, she eventually began to write so that she could tell the stories documented by her photographs. Sonya currently resides in Schenectady, NY, where she spends most of her free time writing.
