Get to know the photographer
Family & Lifestyle Portraits
Hi there! I'm Alena - I'm so happy you're here!
Thank you for considering me as your photographer! It means the world to me!
A little about myself; I attended Brockway High School and went on to graduate from Butler County Community College with an Assoicate's Degree as a Physical Therapist Assistant. I am now a stay at home mom of my two beautiful children. I occasionally work at NovaCare in Brockway and I enjoy creating a fun and motivational environment for my patients. Working in a small town has allowed me to form strong friendships with my patients - some of which have even become photography clients!
My journey into photography began in a special, unexpected way. My husband's cousin asked me to capture some behind - the - scenes moments on her wedding day. After sharing those photos with family, my father-in-law said, "You'd be crazy to not do something with this!" That little push turned into a growing passion to capture more memories for families.
Since then, I've been blessed with a growing clientele and endless support that has fueled my journey. As a mom of two under two, I've developed a deeper passion and confidence in photographing children and newborns. I now understand the profound love parents have for their little ones - and capturing that love through my lens is one of my greatest joys.
Looking ahead, my goal is to grow into a studio photographer specializing in professional portraits, newborns, milestones, boudoir, and pet photography. I'm so excited to continue growing in this journey and would be honored to help capture your journey.

Parenthood is filled with irreplaceable moments that can slip away with time. I’m here to help you capture and keep them vivid.
Motherhood for me has been so humbling and refreshing all at the same time. Being a mother has also made it clear to me how fast time actually flies and how important it is to take the pictures!!

Exactly why candids are my favorite photos to take. I love to be a fly on the wall to capture your special moments.
