PHOTOGRAPHER BASED IN SOUTH JORDAN, UTAH
PHOTOGRAPHER
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.
Experience
With over 18 years of experience in graphic design, I’ve developed a sharp eye for composition, color, and storytelling — skills that naturally led me into the world of photography.
For the past 5 years, I worked as a product photographer, but my true passion has always been in capturing people. Now, I focus fully on studio photography, creating powerful, expressive portraits that celebrate femininity, creativity, and emotion.
I specialize in working with professional studio lighting and personally handle all retouching — from RAW development in Capture One to refined edits in Photoshop.
My favorite genre is women’s portraiture. I’m especially drawn to maternity sessions and intimate, romantic boudoir shoots. I’m inspired by edgy fashion, glossy editorial aesthetics, and striking beauty imagery. I love bringing bold ideas to life, and I’m always excited to collaborate on creative concepts.
I shoot in my cozy private studio — fully equipped with seamless backdrops, props, and styled furniture — designed to make every session both effortless and inspired.
Let’s create something unforgettable.
