Moms are not featured in photos often enough, and I hate that for us!! We're always behind the scenes as the default parent running the show and/or a little too self conscious to jump into the frame. My motherhood sessions give mamas a chance to be the star of the show and get some well-deserved and flattering portraits with their little ones.

“I was so stressed about my newborn photos and Lena guided me through everything! We did photos in our home and she was punctual, kind, flexible, and my kids loved her energy.”
Anaka J
“THEY ARE SO AMAZING!!!! I LOVE them, Lena!!! You are so talented!!! This may be one of my favorite pictures ever!"

“We’re a mixed family and making sure everyone’s complexion is true to real life is super important to us. These family photos are our favorites we've ever taken. We will definitely keep using Lena in the future!”
Hannah k

Stefanie b
“Lena!!!! They are PERFECTION! We are so so happy with them! Thank you for the quick turnaround as well!"
I deliver edited galleries within 2 weeks of your session date. I know the anticipation is REAL, so I try to send galleries off even sooner than that when my schedule allows.
When will I get my photos back?
I’m a lifestyle photographer because I believe photos should help you relive moments. I’ll get a few “say cheese” photos of everyone looking at the camera, but the majority of our time together will be more candid, playful and relaxed.
What types of images do you take?
I specialize in lifestyle family, maternity and newborn sessions, while also photographing select weddings, engagements, seniors and boudoir sessions!
What types of sessions do you do?
I use fun and easy prompts to help make sure we photograph your best side in a natural and beautiful way. It is okay to be nervous before your session. I know how important these images are to you! I’ll take care of the posing, so you can be yourself with your loved ones.
What do I do with my hands?
I really feel this question because it is the hardest part of planning my own family photos! I will personally help you choose outfits for your session during our booking process. I have created this Pinterest Board for inspiration, and you will also have access to my Client Closet for your session.
What should I wear?
I live in Camas, WA and photograph families across the PDX area. Longview, WA to Lake Oswego, OR is my usual range!
