Stelli in Studio + Interview

Stelli and I shot in the studio using lots of Saran Wrap, flowers and bodysuits.

Shooting with Stelli is always a blast. She’s not only a very talented model, but also very down to earth and full of new ideas and concepts.

Here is a short interview with her:

Got any favorite quotes?

My favorite quote is from the book The Little Prince, “ it is only with the heart one can see rightly, anything essential is invisible to the eye”.


What’s your favorite movie you’ve seen this year? (It can be old or new, as long as it was new to you)

My favorite movie I watched recently this year was The Breakup with Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vaughn. I definitely needed that moving on after my own breakup and the realness mixed with the humor really helped me feel more content with what I was going through.

What’s your favorite part about modeling?

My favorite part of modeling is getting to really connect with myself and my physical appearance. I’m definitely in my head a lot and it’s nice to be able to put away the glasses and business casual attire and not think about my “real” life, and take the time to go back to my little girl roots of just wanting to play dress up. And even during those more awkward shoots where I’m doing something random, I still feel very connected to my body and get to separate whatever is in my head at the time to be in the shoots.

What’s your unwinding routine?

Favorite unwinding routine. I definitely keep it pretty easy, I’m not a whole 10 step skincare girly. But more on the side of I smoke a little bit of weed then just do what my body needs. Sometimes I’ll go for a walk or do some yoga, others I just take a shower and listen to some music. I also really like cooking and baking so a lot of the times my day ends with putting on a vinyl making some food. Meditating is also a big thing for me, I don’t have any type of routine, but just taking a few minutes or however to let my breath and thoughts settle.

Favorite pizza toppings??

Pizza is definitely green chili (im addicted) and pepperoni. I also can go for Hawaiian or BBQ chicken because pineapple can belong on pizza.

If you could travel anywhere, what’s at the top of your list?

If I could go anywhere definitely Wales or Spain. Wales just seems absolutely beautiful. And my family has roots in Spain so it would be really nice to see where we come from and experience the culture.

Till next time,
