About Me

Hi, I’m Olena, an inclusive Family and Lifestyle Photographer in Edmonton.

I create natural, heartfelt images that celebrate real emotions, connection, and every unique story. I’m so happy you’re here! 🤍

My Photography Journey

My love for photography began in my teenage years, inspired by my older brother, who first introduced me to the camera. That passion grew into a profession in 2008, when I started my photography career in Ukraine. Since 2023, I’ve proudly been photographing families, children, and couples here in Edmonton, building a cozy, welcoming space where everyone feels comfortable being themselves.

My Approach & Inclusive Photography

I am an inclusive photographer with hands-on experience working with neurodiverse children through the Interaction program in schools. I’m also a proud mom to an amazing son with special needs.

Because of this, I deeply understand the importance of patience, flexibility, and emotional safety. If your child prefers movement over posing, that’s perfectly okay, I’ll follow their lead and capture genuine, candid moments.

Education & Experience

I hold a Master’s Degree in Teaching Arts and Crafts, which strongly influences my creative vision and the artistic setups I design in my studio. Over the years, I’ve also completed extended training in Studio, Portrait, and Wedding Photography, continually refining my skills and style.

A Little More About Me

Outside of photography, I’m a graphic designer, wife, and mom. I enjoy long, unplanned walks with my son, noticing how nature changes day by day. At home, you’ll often find me crafting, drawing, listening to music, cooking for my family, reading romantic books, or watching fantasy films.

Thank you for taking the time to get to know me.

I can’t wait to work with you and create something beautiful together 🤍

About my Studio

Welcome to my cozy home-based photography studio in Edmonton, thoughtfully designed to feel warm, relaxed, and inspiring from the moment you walk in.

Whether you’re visiting for a family photo session, maternity shoot, milestone baby session, seasonal session, or a stylish lifestyle shoot, the studio is filled with soft light, curated props, and beautiful setups that change throughout the year.

I offer a variety of seasonal studio setups (Christmas, Easter, Valentine’s Day, Halloween), studio dresses for maternity sessions, outfits for babies and toddlers (0–2 years), and a variety of themed décor.

My goal is to create a calm, pressure-free environment where you can truly be yourself and enjoy the experience.
