We had a great experience having our newborn photoshoot with Alena. This is our first baby and we were expecting maybe he will not settle and will be crying during the photoshoot. But it turned out our baby was calm, happy and sleeping the whole session. Alena was very gentle handling our baby and we really love it about her. And she has so many props and different cutie looks to choose from, surely the parents and family will really enjoy, proud and treasure for a lifetime. Highly recommended Alena for parents who want their newborn have this once in a lifetime experience... More...

A wonderful experience had capturing our gorgeous baby girl’Nanki’. We are really impressed with Alena’s standard of photos and loved all the props she used. Alena was so gentle and caring when handling our little girl, her safety and well-being was the main priority. Time was taken between outfit changes, nothing was rushed and the studio was lovely and warm and our baby slept right through. I highly recommend booking with baby shoots. Thanks again Alena ❤️ More...

Alena is an incredibly talented photographer. She captured some of the most beautiful moments of my family through her lens. Not only are the pictures stunning keepsakes that we'll treasure forever, the whole experience of coordinating and working with her over the past few months was a breath of fresh air! We had to change the dates of our photoshoot multiple times due to personal reasons and lockdowns, but Alena was extremely patient and accomodating every step of the way. It made for a very pleasant working experience. The whole family absolutely loved the photos. I wholeheartedly recommend lifestylephoto and will certainly work with Alena again ♥️ More...

Honestly I wasn’t sure if I really wanted to get a Maternity shoot done. I was confused between if it will be worth it , I may not look good etc. .. But I am so glad I got it done and even more that I was able to choose the best person to do it. She knew exactly what I wanted even without explaining much. Nothing was a no for her. So much patience and so creative. Her pictures were much more beautiful than I could have thought of. She made us look gorgeous . I have never got any better compliments ever before (like being called a Diva Mom) . She does make you look like a Diva. All Credit goes to Alena. Thank you so much for giving us the best memory . I look forward to the new born shoot now when baby pops out . Highly Recommended More...

Alena is one of the best, if not the best photographer we have ever had the luxury of crossing paths with. Life is made up of memories and we can only describe Alena as a class above the rest in her ability to capture the essence of a moment on film. We had our maternity photo shoot with Alena and it felt like spending an evening at the beach with a friend. Her great communication style, her warmth and her ability to showcase the very best of who you are make her so good at what she does. We can’t wait for our baby photo shoot with her and I’m sure we have found ourselves a family photographer for life. More...
