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.

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'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!
