We had such a wonderful experience with Elena! The photos of my two kids turned out absolutely beautiful, full of genuine smiles and little moments that really capture who they are. The session felt relaxed and fun, which made such a difference with children. As a photographer myself, I’m pretty picky when it comes to both the shooting experience and the final result, and I was so happy. The attention to detail, patience, and eye for light and composition really show in the images. I’m so grateful to have these memories of my kids and would wholeheartedly recommend Elena to other families!
Usually I don't leave reviews , but Elena is absolutely incredible 🙌 We had the most wonderful experience working with Elena Hecht ! She is such genuinely kind person, with a gentle and caring nature that right away made my daughter, Alice, feel compfortble . From the very first moment, I could see how thoughtful she is to children’s personalities — she took the time to really connect with Alice, making her feel comfortable, confident, and truly special! Her professionalism is matched by her warmth. She didn’t just take beautiful photos — she gave us thoughtful and encouraging advice for future career, sharing ideas and tips that inspired my daughter and gave her a clear vision of what’s possible. It felt like she truly cared about my child dreams and wanted to see her succeed! She has an incredible eye for capturing the best in people, but also a beautiful heart that shines through in the way she treats her clients. We are so grateful for her talent, kindness, and the positive influence on us. This was so much more than a photo session — it was an uplifting and unforgettable experience!🌸🌿
I recently had the pleasure of working with Elena and Nelya , and I can't recommend them highly enough! From the moment we arrived at the studio, they made us feel comfortable and at ease, which is so important when photographing children. Elena has a remarkable ability to connect with kids, bringing out their natural smiles and playful spirits. The session was filled with laughter and joy, and it truly felt more like a fun playdate than a photoshoot. The final images exceeded all our expectations! Each photo captured not just the beauty of my child, but also her unique personality. The colors are vibrant, and the composition is stunning. We now have timeless keepsakes that we will treasure forever.
I went to Elena for professional headshots and the whole experience was amazing to say the least. Elena made me so comfortable during the shoot and was so kind and easy to talk to. The customer service was top notch ! I got my photos on time and I have received so many compliments on them ! I would recommend Elena without any hesitation.
Elena is one of the best photographers I worked with and I can’t recommend her enough . We went to Elena for photos of our 3 year old’s modeling portfolio and had an amazing experience. If you are looking for a photographer who can effortlessly make kids feel comfortable and deliver great photos , look no further . She knew how to get all the poses from my son with no involvement from me, which really impressed me As for the photos, we were amazed by the output. We had a tough time finalizing the shots for the print

Capturing authentic moments with warmth and professional artistry.
