I’m a lifestyle photographer based in Culver City with over 10 years of experience capturing families, children, motherhood, and authentic emotional moments. My focus is natural, warm, and timeless imagery — the kind of photos that feel like real life, not posed. As a mom of two, I know exactly how to work with kids, keep sessions stress-free, and help everyone feel comfortable. I guide you gently, choose beautiful angles and light, and deliver high-quality edited photos you’ll treasure for years. Whether you prefer your home, a park, or the beach, I’ll help plan the session and make the experience easy and enjoyable.

Alena is truly a gem! She was super communicative and helpful in the planning of our shoot. She was very timely and professional during our shoot and really put me at ease. She even climbed a tree to get a different angle! She delivered our photos so quickly and we love how they came out. She has such a great style and it was super fun to see the variety of photos she got. I highly recommend Alena! She is just wonderful!

Details: Maternity portrait • Traditional / classic (looking directly at the camera) • Candid (captured in the moment) • Natural / environmental (photographed in an outdoor setting) • I'm flexible • At the pro’s location • My home, venue, etc.

I'm so grateful to Alena! I really appreciate her approach, from the initial discussion to receiving the photos. She helped with ideas, arrived early, inspected the location, and went above and beyond. Everything went smoothly and flawlessly! I wish you prosperity!

We hired Alena for a mini family photo session and had a wonderful experience! She was super accommodating with our schedule and has such a calm demeanor that made our whole family comfortable. At the shoot she showed us some references which were helpful as both my husband and I are camera shy, it showed how thoughtful and prepared she was. Loved working with her and can't wait to shoot more! Thanks Alena!

Recently, I was on a photoshoot with Alena, and I had such a great experience. She was incredibly attentive to every detail, guided me with posing, and made me feel very comfortable throughout the entire session. Her pricing — $450 per session — is very fair for the quality of work she delivers. The final photos turned out beautiful, and I was especially happy to receive more edited images than expected, which was such a nice and unexpected bonus. She also delivered the photos very quickly, which I really appreciated. Everything felt professional, smooth, and well organized from start to finish. If you’re looking for a professional photographer who truly cares about details and the final result, I highly recommend Alena. I would absolutely book with her again.
