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!

Lena is a very talented photographer, this was my first time doing photoshoot and she made us feel comfortable from the moment we walked in. Highly recommend her to anyone who wants photos for memories without the stress of feeling awkward.

Shtatolkina Studio delivered something I didn’t even know I needed.

As a woman in her 50s, I’ve spent years behind the camera—mom, professional, caregiver, problem-solver. Rarely the one in front of it. Walking into Elena’s studio changed that. She didn’t just take photos; she created space for me to feel beautiful, powerful, and fully seen.

Her lighting is unreal—soft, sculpting, almost cinematic. The kind that highlights strength, not age. The kind that reminds you you're still vibrant, still here, still worth celebrating.

Elena guided me through poses with a level of ease and grace that made me forget the insecurities I walked in with. For the first time in years, I recognized the woman in the photos—the confidence, the warmth, the life experience that doesn’t fade with age but deepens it.

If you’re an older woman wondering if a portrait session is “for you,” hear me clearly: Do it.

Shtatolkina Studio gave me back a piece of myself, and the photos are now some of my most treasured keepsakes.

This isn’t just photography.
This is rediscovery.

This was the cutest and most fun photoshoot! Briggs had the best time, I'll cherish these pictures forever.

Lena is such a talented, creative, and warm person. Shooting with her was effortless and genuinely fun! She guided me through every step with patience and professionalism, making me feel completely at ease. The final results truly reflect how comfortable I felt in Lena’s hands—these are photos I will always cherish.

I had such a great experience and the photos turned out so beautiful!

I had an amazing time working with Lena, she truly knows what she is doing, and she help me out to know how to pose because I just don’t seem to know how to do it naturally, her energy helped connect with that side of me that my photos show. I will absolutely capture myself with her in the future and the important events of my life.

I had such a great time shooting with Lena! As someone who’s usually shy and has no idea how to pose in front of a camera I felt completely at ease. She is incredibly talented and made the entire experience fun and easy. Highly recommend her for beautiful, high-quality photos and a truly memorable experience!

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!
