PHOTOGRAPHER BASED IN SOUTH JORDAN, UTAH  

PHOTOGRAPHER ELENA (LENA) SHTATOLKINA

I believe every woman deserves to be seen in her full power and softness — both can exist in one frame. Photography, for me, is not just art. It’s alchemy. A way of revealing the strength, emotion, and beauty that already live inside you.

I specialize in intimate, elegant, studio-based portrait sessions that are tailored for women at every stage of life — whether it’s celebrating a new chapter, claiming your confidence, or simply remembering who you are.

Shtatolkina Studio is based in South Jordan and serves the Salt Lake City area. My shoots are intentional, collaborative, and always indoors — styled to perfection, lit with care, and guided with love.

Let’s make something unforgettable.

MY THOUGHTS

I photograph emotion — not just faces. My goal is to capture the quiet confidence, bold beauty, and real moments that live beneath the surface. Every image should feel like you — powerful, present, and true.
