WHO IS ZELLA?

About Zella

Zella is my grandmother's name. She is 100 years old and still "sharp as a tack." Her spirit and life inspire me to capture the beauty in all my clients no matter your age.

Zella grew up on a ranch in Colorado during the Great Depression. She is a true country girl who endured and eventually overcame the iconic hardships of her times. Armed with little more than imagination, creativity, and an unshakable belief in herself, she bravely set out for Los Angeles where she made a new life.

My grandmother passed on both her belief in creating things yourself and her unique country aesthetics. As a child, we spent hours designing and making doll clothes, Halloween costumes, pottery, and best of all, cooking true country meals! During these times she shared her many stories and memories.

Zella is a name I will always cherish. With Zella as my inspiration, I seek to create original images using natural textures to capture and enhance the beauty of my clients.
