  This is me.  

Hi there! I'm Aléna. I am so glad you're here. Let me tell you a little bit more about myself!

I've always had passion for the arts. From a young age, I was drawing and creating. My mother would always have some kind of fun crafting project for us to do. I always knew I wanted a career that would allow me to express myself creatively. In middle and high school, I took as many art courses as I could. I learned basic skills in drawing, painting, sculpture, multimedia and photography. 

​

When it came time to start thinking about college, I struggled with what I wanted to be. My first year, I enrolled as an interior design major. I quickly realized I was drawn to being in the photography studio and changed my major before the end of year one.  Through my college career, I was able to master my skills in photography as well as learn graphic design, brand development, multimedia and more. 

​

When I'm not working on my business, I'm spending time with my sweet rescue pup, Meera, caring for my small jungle of houseplants, refinishing furniture, or working on my camp on Sacandaga Lake. I love spending time outside, a good cup of tea and all of the corny dad jokes. 

​

Please, take a look around, check out my portfolio, and reach out to chat. I cant wait to collaborate with you! 

​

With love, 

Aléna
