Behind the Camera

I am Sarell Booker, the creator behind SOREAL VSN LLC. I am a current student at Illinois State University and will be graduating spring of 2025. I am from the south side of Chicago, Illinois just working and turning visions into reality through fire portrait photography.

I am inspired by my beloved and late daughter Ra’el “Sweet Pea” Booker, whom passed young. I turned a negative situation for myself and literally started this. I’d be remised if I didn’t carry her throughout all of my journey. So big shoutout to my beloved because that’s who I do it for! Life may seem hard at times, but keep your chin up and God first everything will work itself out.

What’s our WHY? There is a void in the Illinois graduate photography space. In Chicago, we celebrate the high school prom as if it were the MET-GALA, but somewhere along the toughest four years of schooling we forget that cultural essence when it’s time to graduate from college. We believe that prom energy needs to be brought back!

The mission is to highlight a huge milestone in style. Graduation is a MOVIE! And we will reveal this one shoot at a time. Dress like you earned it.

It is the mission at SOREAL VSN LLC to capture Graduation Portraits that you love.

I invite you to follow me on any of my social media platforms to inquire about my craft and how I can help with any questions you may have.
