MEET PHOTOGRAPHER
I’m Elena Shtatolkina, a photographer and visual artist originally from Russia. I’ve built my creative life and photography business here in Utah, and I genuinely love what I do.
I’m very hands-on with every project; from developing an idea and planning the concept to helping with wardrobe, styling, lighting, and the small details that bring everything together. You don’t need to come to me with everything figured out. If you have an idea but aren’t sure how to bring it to life, we can build it together.
I care just as much about the experience as I do about the final images. I’m responsive, organized, and take every project and deadline seriously. Whether we’re planning weeks ahead or working with a tight turnaround, I’ll always do my best to find a solution and make the entire process feel easy from the first message to the final gallery.
“The best photographs happen when you feel comfortable enough to be yourself.
My approach is calm, collaborative, and thoughtfully guided. You don’t need to know how to pose or perform for the camera — I’ll help you with movement, angles, and direction while creating space for your personality to come through.
The goal is not to make you look like someone else, but to create images that feel elevated, confident, and genuinely you.”

Natalie Riggs
amazing to work with!! She is professional and has great visions for her work. I was new to modeling and she made me feel comfortable and helped me learn. Would definitely recommend working with her!
Tasha Poduska
I had such a wonderful experience with Shtatolkina Studio. As a woman in my 50s, I’m usually much more comfortable behind the camera than in front of it, so I wasn’t sure how I would feel during a professional portrait session. Elena made the entire experience comfortable and easy from the beginning. She guided me through posing without making anything feel forced, and I really appreciated how much attention she paid to lighting and the small details. When I received the photos, I was genuinely surprised by how much I loved them. I looked like myself, just confident, polished, and beautiful. It was especially meaningful to have photographs I truly feel good about at this stage of my life. I would absolutely recommend Elena to any woman who has been putting off having professional portraits taken because she doesn’t feel comfortable in front of the camera.

I've known Lena for years, she's always been such a creative person. When I found out that she opened her own studio, I immediately booked my photoshoot with her. She guided me through everything: from the concept to make up and outfits to posing, which was such a relief! You can tell she does what she really loves, and her energy is contagious. I absolutely love all the photoshoots I've done with Lena. She helped me find my confidence; I saw my natural beauty through Lena's kind eyes and lens. I encourage anyone who needs this confidence boost and wants to create something truly beautiful, to book a photoshoot with Lena!
