My approach
I do things differently:
I create a space where you can relax. Joke. Talk. Run. Just be.
I've compiled the island's best secret locations in one guide for you:
I always take your preferences into account and know how to choose locations to suit the mood of the shoot. I have my own secret spots: waterfalls, palm trees, beaches, old streets, local cafes, where no one bothers me and the light falls just right.

Discussing the format
At this stage, we decide what kind of photo shoot you'll want: a secluded sunrise on the beach, a family picnic with sand at your feet, a trip to different locations with waterfalls, panoramic views, and the wind in your hair.
Or maybe you have a great hotel and don't want to go anywhere. I'll suggest the best ideas to suit your mood and show you how to make it happen.

Location selection
I'll give you two or three suitable options - my tried-and-true spots. Deserted beaches, waves against the rocks, palm trees in perfect light - I know where to find it all.

Filming
Relaxed, lively, without the "stand up straight" or "let's follow the template" mentality. I guide, prompt, create comfort - and capture shots that will make you say, "Yes, that's it."

Our photos are AMAZING, so much so that it's been almost a month, and we still haven't decided which ones to print large. By the way, the photos were ready earlier than Alena promised.
Good morning Alena, thank you for the pictures. It is amazing. I am so happy that we chose you. It is wonderful. Thank you very much!
I'm incredibly impressed by the photos and video. They're so stunningly beautiful that words fail to express my delight. I can't believe it's about me.

FAQ
If you don't find the answer to your question, you can always text me
How do I book a photo shoot?
Write to me on Telegram, Instagram, or through the form. We will choose a date, format, and location, then confirm the booking with a deposit.
When and how will I receive the photos?
Finished photos are usually delivered in 5-7 days through an online gallery. If you need them urgently, we can discuss it before the shoot.
We're very awkward and don't know how to pose, please help!
That is exactly why I guide the shoot gently. I create movement, conversation, and simple prompts so the photos feel natural instead of staged.
What do we need for the photo shoot?
Comfortable clothes, a little time, and a relaxed mood. I will help with outfit ideas, timing, and the location before the shoot.
What time should we choose for the photo shoot?
Sunrise and sunset usually give the softest and most beautiful light. I will recommend the best time for your chosen location.
What if we have three children, and the youngest is in a crying and throwing sand mood?
Then we work with real life. We take breaks, play, move, and let children be children. Some of the best family photos happen that way.
What makes your shoots different from others?
I combine photography with local knowledge of Mauritius: light, beaches, quiet corners, weather, routes, and mood.
