I’m Ilene, a lifestyle, portrait, and pet photographer

I pick up my camera to find the beauty in the simplest moments

In addition to being a photographer, I am an elementary education teacher, which has been my primary profession for over 20 years. Due to this career, I know how to develop close bonds and trust with children and adults. When taking photos of your child, I will make them feel comfortable and at ease. I would also make sure that I capture the essence of your child’s personality.
As a pet owner and a volunteer at a local wildlife rehabilitation facility, I enjoy working with various animals.
