Hi, I'm Lena
I think of photographers as magicians - we are able to freeze time and bring parents back to the time when their kids were little (or not so little) with a click of a shutter.
My kids are teens now and looking back at photos of them as toddlers, kindergarteners and even middle schoolers instantly transports me back to that time in our lives. Looking at these photos is like having a time machine that allows me to go back and relive the past for a bit. I treasure photos of my kids and my family and I KNOW that my clients do the same. And I am so humbled and honored that they choose ME for this very important job.
Named Photographer of the Year 2024!
“Hands down the best family photographer in the area! Lena is accommodating, creative, and makes everything and anything work! She captured my kids perfectly. Her follow up visit to review photos and packages is equally impressive. Prepared and flexible to meet whatever needs you have. Highly recommend Lena!”

Lena has an amazing way with photographing children. As a mother herself, she knows the right moments to snap beautiful smiles that will shine in her photography. You will be excited to hang these images on the walls of your home. She is extremely professional, positive and patient. The perfect personality characteristics that are a must in a family photographer! Her artistic talent is clearly captured in each one of her photographs. I have used Lena's services a couple times now and I continue to highly recommend her!

I have had photos taken of our family for the past 13 years! To be honest, my kids really do not enjoy the process and their feelings color the results. This holiday mini shoot experience was totally different. The studio was spacious and comfortable with enough to keep kids busy but not too much stimulation to overwhelm. Lena connected immediately with the kids and gave gentle direction - but let them be 'themselves' to really capture their spirits. She was communicative afterwards and I could not be happier with these unique photos. Outstanding photographer... especially for kids!

Lena is the BEST!! I went to her for some professional headshots. We had a nice discussion about what "look" I wanted, and that's exactly what she produced. Lena is a wonderful photographer who puts you at ease in her lovely, bright, airy studio. She helped me pick outfits and made the session so much fun! The photos are FABULOUS! Just what I was looking for, delivered on time and beautifully edited. Thank you Lena!!
