About Me

Soul Spice Photography is owned and operated by Aria Martin-Henderson. Although she may have taken the “scenic route” to her destination as a professional photographer, her passion for photography started many years before she was “shutterbuggin’”. Her father was a visual artist; his mediums being paint, wood and power tools. Her mother was a writer, an actress, a singer, an ink and pastel artist and a true free spirit. Aria’s artistic creativity and destiny were imprinted on her genes.

Always passionate about capturing the visual in any way she could, Aria learned at an early age that the talents of her parents were not exactly hers... drawing, painting, sketching... they eluded her, but she burned to create lasting images. Ancient photos fascinated her as did antique cameras and equipment. In her early twenties she rented a room in her Toronto apartment to a friend who was down on his luck. Broke, he offered in exchange what was to become Aria’s first real professional camera... A Canon Rebel 350 35mm film unit. Her second camera came from a pawn shop in Las Vegas... again, a Canon. With the new innovations in Digital SLR’s she is proud to still operate Canon equipment but has expanded to also include some Sony family members.

With over 10 years of professional modeling before trying her hand behind the lens, Aria can “get into the mind” of models and help them bring out their personality and vibrancy, while guiding industry newcomers by offering information and an ear that listens.

With a unique style that is unpretentious, informal, creative and sometimes unconventional, Aria is dedicated to capturing the celebration of life... Whether photographing a child, a ceremony or a fashion model, she prefers to capture the genuine moments that encompass the moment as opposed to “over staging” and posing the people and emotions involved.

Aria loves to learn and grow and her dedication to continuous learning is evident. Even with 15 years of experience, Aria strives to stay “in the Lupe”. Through courses, workshops and virtual industry “roundtable” meetings with other international industry professionals she keeps her creative juices flowing and the innovative results are spectacular!

Aria and her team divide their time between the Greater Toronto Area (Aria is located in Oshawa) and Cocoa Beach Florida with stops at many ports of call in between.

“Model Mayhem is a fantastic opportunity to network industry professionals... models, photographers, wardrobe professionals and the list goes on! I am honoured and pleased to be a member of this amazing team. If I can be of any service to any of you please don’t hesitate to call on me. As I tell my children... if you don’t ask, you’ll never get an answer!”
