Using my camera to capture all its beauty
Hi, I'm Elena
Since getting a camera at age 11, I’ve fallen in love with the art of photography.
My photography journey began at fifteen with an Olympus analog camera, sparking a passion for capturing personal stories through portraiture. Over the years, I developed my craft, from street lifestyle and landscape photography to expanding into underwater and boudoir sessions while living in Cancun. After earning a master’s degree in art, I took my photography business to new heights, embracing challenges and learning new skills along the way. My journey, which spans different cultures and languages, has taught me that true passion for the craft transcends boundaries and connects us all.

You truly captured spirit of our vacation. I loved all the pictures.
Elena, the photos are beyond fantastic! We greatly appreciate it!! You truly captured spirit of our vacation. I loved all the pictures. All clicks are great but if I was to pick favorite, my personal favorites are our son’s clicks. You have truly captured his free spirit and these clicks show how happy he was at the beach. His pics brought a smile to our faces. Of course, I loved “That girl in the yellow dress” (that’s how I have named those). I loved my photo with the bird, I wanted to fly. I can’t wait to flaunt these pics. Thank you for making our vacation memorable with these photos. We are going to look back at these pics and it will bring lots of smiles and happy moments back. Huge respect for your art! Thank You so much for all the flexibility you offered. Sending lots of blessings your way!
These were my most memorable and fun family photos we’ve ever done
Oh my goodness, Elena! These are amazing, thank you so much! These were my most memorable and fun family photos we’ve ever done. Thank you so much for getting these to me so quickly, I can’t wait to order our Christmas cards! These photos mean so much to us, we love the Mexican Caribbean and have been several times the past couple of years. These photos bring back so many fun family memories for us in Playa.
My mom will be jealous of the grandma photos, we’ll have to take them again next time she comes with us. Thank you again!

Words cannot express how exerted we were to meet you and for our family photoshoot
Elena… Words cannot express how exerted we were to meet you and work with you for our family photo shoot. You were truly a professional and very understanding of the difficulty of working with two tired toddlers. The expressions and feelings you captured in the pictures are priceless and we will forever be grateful. We will definitely see you again when we visit in the near future. Thank you!
