Hi! I'm Sonya
the person behind the lens
Portrait Photographer | Based in Enniskillen, Northern Ireland
Life doesn’t move in straight lines, and neither has mine.
With over 20 years behind the camera, my journey has been shaped by creativity, connection, and a deep appreciation for life’s stories. A pause in my path reshaped my vision, teaching me to see quiet moments with new depth—leading to the creation of Zigzag Photography.
The name reflects life’s twists, turns, and the beauty found in between. I believe those in-between moments hold the most meaning, and that’s what I strive to capture: not just faces, but feelings; not just portraits, but personal stories.
I specialise in capturing genuine emotion—whether it’s a giggle from a little one, a quiet glance between loved ones, or the fierce joy of simply being yourself. My sessions are relaxed, playful, and honest. It’s not about perfection—it’s about presence.
I’m a proud mum to a beautiful daughter and have been married to my soulmate for 23 years. Originally from North Macedonia, I’ve called Enniskillen home for over a decade, and I’m grateful every day for the life and community my family and I have built here.
With a background in Graphic Design, I bring a creative eye to every frame, paying attention to light, composition, and the small details that tell your story. I’m especially drawn to black and white photography, where emotion and simplicity take centre stage. It’s a timeless way to capture depth and connection.
Whether I’m setting up my mobile studio in your home, working from my local space, or meeting you by the lakeshore, I’m here to create an experience that’s as personal as it is meaningful.
Your story deserves to be celebrated. Let’s create something beautiful together.
With gratitude, Sonya
