Hi, I'm Yelena, a freelance photographer and high-end photo retoucher with a strong background in graphic design and accounting. I specialize in fashion, beauty, newborn, maternity, and family shoots, delivering polished images on tight deadlines while keeping a friendly, collaborative approach with clients. I started my career in accounting before pivoting to photography and retouching, which gave me a sharp eye for detail, budgeting mindset, and excellent client communication. I enjoy turning creative ideas into consistent visuals and providing reliable, end-to-end service from concept to final edits.
