Capturing Craft: A Sonder Portrait with Zeli

I photographed the incredibly talented Zeli, a boutique nail artist with a gift for detail and color, for a recent environmental portrait session. 🌿💅


We shot in her creative space, surrounded by the tools of her craft. We also used the backyard with some lovely flowers.

At the end of the session, she told me, “You made me feel so relaxed and comfortable”. That’s exactly what I want every client to say and that’s what the Sonder Portrait Experience is all about; stepping into your world, learning what lights you up, and capturing it with care.


If you’re a small business owner or creative who wants portraits that feel like you in your element, doing what you love, I’d love to connect and help you build your brand.
