your personalized photography journey from start to finish
THE EXPERIENCE
LET'S CHAT
When you book with me, you’re not just getting photos, you’re investing in an unforgettable experience that’s entirely tailored to you and your story. I believe photography is so much more than posing for a camera; it’s about creating a space where you feel seen, celebrated, and at ease. From the first moment we connect to the final delivery of your gallery, I’m here to guide you through every step of the process.
I don’t just take photos, I tell stories
My goal is to create more than just a photoshoot—it’s a chance to slow down, soak in the moment, and truly enjoy the experience. Together, we’ll capture those authentic, raw moments that tell your story in a timeless way. You’ll walk away with stunning images, but more importantly, you’ll have memories you can look back on and relive over and over.
I know life can feel busy and overwhelming, which is why I prioritize a seamless and stress-free process for you. From planning your session to delivering your final gallery, I’ll handle the details so you can focus on what matters most—being present and having fun. My hope is that by the end of our time together, you not only love your photos but feel the joy of the experience every time you look at them.
my goal
Whether you’re creating an album, printing photos for your walls, or simply scrolling through your gallery, this is where your memories truly come to life. Need help choosing prints or products? I’m here to guide you every step of the way.

Yelena was the PERFECT choice as our wedding photographer. I wanted to pick vendors I would enjoy having near me on that day and she was fun, stress-relieving, and committed to getting the best pictures. I'm so grateful for her work and highly recommend her if you're looking for beautiful photos and a fun time capturing them!

Yelena is such a blessing and her talent is unmatched. After having to reschedule my wedding at nearly the last minute, she went above and beyond to make sure I was able to have her capture our special day. I am so thankful our paths crossed and I am obsessed with all the pictures she took! I will absolutely be using her again in the future!
