MEET YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER
Hi, I’m Elena
Professional Portrait Photographer
With all my heart, I believe that the female form is art, regardless of the shape it takes. To me, your looks (no matter how stunning they may be) are the least interesting thing about you. You are enough and you are amazing exactly as you are right now, not 20lbs from now, not 20 years ago, but right now. I believe I was put on this planet to create strong and beautiful imagery for women, not of women for someone else.
I want you to be 90 years old and have the ability to look through piles and piles of photographs of yourself from your 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, and beyond. I want your loved ones to have visual proof of your existence after you’re gone. I want you to be able to look up on your walls and see yourself as I see you through my lens - strong, confident, powerful, and beautiful. Please, my dear women, please… exist in photographs. It’s not vanity, it’s legacy and it’s my mission to build confidence, one woman at a time. Because we are all unique, we have all have our own story, and we are worth documenting.
I believe you found me for a reason and I can’t wait to create beautiful images for you,
Elena
“I think everything in life is art. What you do. How you dress. The way you love someone, and how you talk. Your smile and your personality. What you believe in, and all your dreams. The way you drink your tea. How you decorate your home. Or party. Your grocery list. The food you make. How your writing looks. And the way you feel. Life is art.”
what they’re saying
“Today, I did a shoot with the incomparable LivePixels. I purposely did not bring my own wardrobe, wanting to paint universal stories in photos using only Elena's array of fabrics and my own vulnerability. I brought a wide swath of my jewelry collection and some lingerie, somehow intuitively knowing she's woo me into trying some of the artfully sensual shots she is known for.
As age brushes a patina over the beauty you once held - a beauty you couldn't see in your doubt-filled youth - there are times when you remain bling to how much still shines through. Elena held up a mirror I couldn't deny with her lens today. Brought out the lioness warrior goddess in me and reconnected me with my inner wild. It was raw, real, and oh so beautiful.
Thank you Elena and Melissa for helping me to stand in my feminine power today. It felt like playing dress up with girlfriends, which is what you both are now.”
