A LITTLE DIRECTION. ROOM TO BE YOU.

Your life.
Your kind of lovely.

Relaxed sessions, gentle guidance and photographs with personality. The laughter, the closeness, the little details that make your story yours.

Based in Manly, I photograph families, newborns, mothers-to-be, individuals and brands across Sydney and the Northern Beaches. We’ll find a place that feels right for you, then make something worth keeping.

A LITTLE LOVE FROM ELISHA

“Elena’s style is so consistent with who she is – so natural, relaxed, playful and fun, which comes through in the way she approaches her photography.”

Meet your photographer ↗

I’m Elena.
Let’s make this feel like you.

Originally from Vilnius, Lithuania, with a chapter in London and now a home in Manly. I bring a love of storytelling, a creative eye and gentle direction to every session.

You don’t need to know what to do in front of the camera. We’ll talk, move, slow down and find your rhythm. There’s room for a little play, too.
