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 was nervous at first, but Alena made everything feel simple. She gave gentle directions and caught the real me in the photos.
The shoot felt like a walk with a friend. We forgot to be awkward, and the gallery came out warm and very us.
Our little one never stays still, and Alena handled it perfectly. No pressure, just real moments that now feel precious.
Alena was calm, kind and almost invisible in the best way. She caught the quiet details and the big emotions.
I wanted soft, natural photos and got exactly that. Alena helped with every detail and made me feel beautiful.
The photos are elegant but still alive. I love that we look like ourselves on the happiest version of the day.
FAQ
If you don't find the answer to your question, you can always write to 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.
