Working with Helenna...
"Helenna is an artist in every way. Her photos are stylish and beautiful and she has an adventurous spirit that made my photo shoot playful and fun. She really listened to what I wanted and collaborated in a way that expanded and realized my hopes for what I hoped for in my shots. She even suggested some looks I didn't think of and they ended up being some of my favorites... I was blown away by her artistry and eye for light and color. HIGHLY recommended."

"Helenna is truly one of a kind. As an acting professional for over 25 years, I’ve had my photo taken countless times and I can honestly say that the shoot I had with Helenna was the easiest, most fun, and most collaborative shoot I’ve ever done… AND the results are incredible. Helenna really “gets it”— she sees the uniqueness in everyone and is able to manifest that uniqueness in truly gorgeous photos. She will be my #1 any time I need new photos from now on."

"I’ve long been a fan of Helenna’s photography and knew I’d walk away from my photo shoot with a few great shots (after so many awkward photo experiences in the past). But I didn’t realize how beautiful and fulfilling the experience of working with Helenna would be. She’s so open and creative and has a brilliant eye for light and composition. What I’ve always loved about Helenna’s photos is her ability to capture the beauty in people as they are, and she gave me the chance to see that in myself. "

"Helena did such an amazing job. As an actor I’ve been having my photo taken a lot throughout the years and was never really happy, Helenna changed that!!! She created a vibe that was fun and exciting, professional and carefree at the same time. I loved my pictures so much and so does everyone who has seen them. The best!!!!"

"Helenna is a true artist and collaborator! This was a unique shoot experience from me, as we approached it from a story-focused place, building characters and environments for me to work with. Instead of worrying whether I “looked right” or “pretty”, I was instead focused on my work as an actor and came away with creative shots that have expanded my portfolio. Helenna came with the right combination of ideas and direction as well as freedom for me to play and discover."
