MEET YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER

Hey,

I'm Lena

Lifestyle

storyteller

My name is Lena Grace Schaff. I am 26 years old, married to the love of my life Cole, and I'm a mom to the most wonderful little boy. I'm based in Northern Virginia, but totally up for travel!


From the moment I first picked up a camera in high school, I knew photography would be a lifelong love. Today, I specialize in wedding and portrait photography, bringing a mix of creativity, heart, and growing experience to every session. I’m constantly learning and evolving, and I’d be thrilled to help capture your most meaningful moments.


APPROACH


My approach is rooted in authenticity, connection, and a genuine love for storytelling. I believe the best photos come from real moments—whether it's a quiet glance between newlyweds or a burst of laughter during a portrait session. I take time to get to know you, so you feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera. My sessions are relaxed, fun, and guided with just enough direction to help you shine while still feeling like you. I’m always learning and evolving, bringing fresh perspective and heartfelt care to every session I capture.

WHY I LOVE WHAT I DO


Being a photographer allows me to capture the most special relationships in people's lives. Whether that be a family or couple, being behind the camera means getting a glimpse into the most beautiful and special moments in life. Photos capture memories and events that people want to remember forever and I love being the one to capture that for people. The fact that I have the ability to freeze a moment in time for people to look back on and smile, brings me so much joy.​
