Onyay is so much more than a photographer! She has this unique ability to peek into your soul and bring out your true essence in photos. I wanted new lifestyle shots for my website and social media, and they turned out to be better than I could have ever expected!

We shot on the beach at sunrise, which in and of itself is beautiful and captivating, but Onyay knew the exact angles, lighting, and has that creative eye to capture that perfect image. In my opinion, a photographer’s energy is equally as important as his or her photography and editing skills. Photoshoots tend to get exhausting at times, but Onyay’s spirit is so uplifting! I fed off her enthusiasm the whole time. It’s truly impossible not to smile around her.

From start to finish, the entire experience was magical, and I’m so pleased with how the photos turned out. She’s a true master of her craft! I highly recommend her if you’re in need of lifestyle images or headshots.”

This shoot with Onyay Pheori was such a joy for my husband and me! She was so much fun to work with and so sweet to my husband who doesn’t like having his picture taken. She made him feel comfortable and we had the best time! I can’t recommend working with Onyay enough! We are grateful for the incredible photos we have from our shoot and treasure them! Onyay is a joy to work with!

The most meaningful, playful, deep, authentic and fun photoshoot I’ve ever experienced. Working with Onyay was so much more than just having my picture taken. She expertly guided me to explore sides of myself that rarely come out to play. To have all of them reflected back through beautiful, magical photos was a deep experience in self love and acceptance. She was fiercely present every step of the way, holding space for me with grace, tenderness and spirit. I am excited for more people to experience this unique combination of inner work and super real and raw photography.

Working with you was such a gift and so much fun You offered a space where I felt safe, confident, and completely comfortable in front of the camera considering I’ve never done professional photos.
