Aléna immediately put me as ease as she walked into the gallery and greeted me with a huge smile! I always feel vulnerable when I am photographed doing what I love most (painting & teaching) and Alena made an effort to make me feel comfortable during our set. This is reflected in the final product! Her professional ability to obtain composition, lighting, and storytelling is evident in the images. Alena was able to capture my personality and the persona of my business better than I ever could have imagined. A true master at her profession.
