About
"What parts of your story do you envision wanting to look back at one day?
Hey there! ♡
My name is Alona and I am a lifestyle and wedding photographer based in Niagara Falls, Ontario.
Growing up, I remember always being fascinated by cameras, and when I finally got my first DSLR for my 18th birthday, it ignited my love for capturing nature & the moments/experiences that give me life. That love fueled years of carrying my camera absolutely everywhere, waiting for those special moments I wanted to "keep for later".
In the years of my journey, I’ve learned a lot about myself and what has driven my passion for photography.
For me — to be behind the camera allows me to be truly present with my surroundings.
It allows me to:
Slow down.
Observe.
Feel.
Connect.
Appreciate.
While I've invested years of time, money and energy into my work as an artist, I am not just another photographer looking to take “pretty photos” for a transaction. While I love photography for the creative joy it brings me, my true love and purpose is to capture you in your truest, present form as you experience the ever-fleeting nature of life.
From seemingly mundane moments of everyday life to your biggest moments of excitement and celebration — I want to capture the essence of your being and what life means to YOU.
If you choose me as your photographer, I'll let you know right now that I want to get to know the real you.
What makes you laugh?
What brings you most joy?
What parts of your story do you envision wanting to look back at one day?
Whether through video call or over coffee, the main thing is - l want to first connect with you.
A few things you should know about me?
I may seem quiet at times but I feel real deeply.
I’ll laugh with you.
I’ll cry with you.
But most importantly I will celebrate and create space for you to be present as you are.
I appreciate you being here and I hope to chat with you soon!
