Hi there, my name is Alyona (some people also call me Lena, or Yelena). I am often asked how come one name can have so many variations, but it is quite common in my culture. Ask me if you want to hear the story : -)

I am a devoted wife and a full-time mom to a very busy but adorable little boy. My family is my absolute priority in life, and my inspiration to pursue my dreams and become the best person I can ever be. 

I love gardening, cooking and travelling, enjoy long walks, yoga, watching movies and playing with my son.

I am gentle and a bit silly when it comes to interacting with children; and my heart glows when I can make a child smile or laugh.  Children are precious little humans to me and they are a big reason why I fell in love with a family and child’s photography. 

I started photography as a hobby several years ago, and gradually my love for capturing beautiful moments grew into a professional occupation that now I wouldn’t want to trade for any other career.
