Reviews of LivePixels Photography (Photo Studio)

April Lin

Hands down the best and most professional photographer. Elena is able to transform each individual to their best versions through the most elegant form. I have done both of my maternity and family photoshoot sessions with her. The photos came out stunning and absolutely perfect (I’m a picky person and I’m not able to pick out any imperfection). Plus their makeup artist Melissa is the best as well, she tailored looks based on everyone’s preference, and changes the look as the outfits change. — April

Amazing experience! Elena was so professional and a top notch photographer.

Professional photography by LivePixels Photography - the team is amazing! The experience of a professional photoshoot at first was intimidating, but Elena made immediately feel safe, and the experience enjoyable and memorable. Her years of photography shines through - she truly captures your essence. Elena's coaching and instructions during the session are so clear, concise and very professional - she definitely made me feel at ease. The team (hair and makeup artists) is wonderful. Elena is a BEAUTIFUL soul who does AMAZING work. I wish to convince her to provide training and workshops for models and any persons who wish to shine in the public arena - she makes a wonderful (patient) coach/teacher. Sincere "thank you" Elena! I'll be back! :)

Elena is an amazing photographer with an eye to see the beauty we neglect to see in ourselves. Her approach is fun, calm and empowering. Elena's experience and expertise is worth your time and money. Special thanks to her amazing make-up & hair team as well. It's the beauty of who she is that infects us all to shine and glitter. I highly endorse & recommend.

Found Elena through Google, while I was looking for a studio for my maternity shoot. What attracted me was the simple, but elegant style. In all the photos, it felt you could feel the moment being captured. Of course I had to book a session with her. Her response to my enquiries were timely and when we met for a consultation, she was warm and talked me through the process. I felt very comfortable with her. On the day of the shoot, it was so much fun and I especially enjoyed that there was no rush and we were able to try different things. Her studio space is so cool (she'll make you a drink if you want) and she has an amazing music playlist that set the mood for good vibes. She came to my place today (yes, she's awesome like that) and when I saw the photos, I could not believe my eyes. I could not believe that I was looking at myself. She got moments that show who I truly am, and when I forget, I'll be looking at them again as a reminder. I'm really glad that I invested in this experience and I appreciate Elena for going above and beyond.

I've been working with Elena for awhile now. She is a wonderful person and a very talented photographer. It is always a pleasure to work alongside her as she creates a fun and energetic photoshoot for everyone involved. She cares deeply for her clients and makes them feel comforatble and relax during the photoshoot. I highly recommend her to everyone who wants to have beautiful photographs and wonderful memories to cherish forever.

My experience with Elena and Melissa with my photoshoot was absolutely amazing. Elena took the time and did not rush through the photoshoot. I felt beautiful and this is what came through in the photos. This was a day for ME and now I will have a timeless album to remind me of that day. I encourage all women if you ever get the chance do this for yourself. You will be surprised with how empowering and liberating a session like this can be especially with someone like Elena @livepixels who makes you feel like the queen you are. Thank you Elena and Melissa ????????

Janna Overend

Having professional portrait taken, I look at it, as a part of self care. Elena and her team of make up artist and hair stylist worked tirelessly to make me feel and look beyond what I could have ever imagine. Highly recommend this experience to any woman at any age. You're WORTH it!

Alex Collins

Elena, you have captured my becoming 50 in 2021, so very beautifully. I have no words to truly describe the experience.. from our initial consultation, shoot day and reviewing which of the many wonderful pictures you created. All very personal and professional. Also, special thanks to Melissa, for keeping me looking Geeeged! [if thats a word] :) Thank you so much ladies! Alexandria

Diana Cortes

We had a wonderful experience with Elena. She made us feel at ease, brought in highly skilled hair and make-up artists and made the entire day truly special. Although the photo shoot was a gift to my daughter, Elena insisted on including the whole family (dog too!) for few photos so that we came away with some lovely group portraits as well. She was very accommodating, taking into account our preferences and providing us with sage advice on how to make the photos work best for us. The results were both captivating and highly professional. It was very difficult to narrow down our favorites as there were so many.

Thomas Chien

My wife and I could not be happier with her maternity shoot! When I was looking for a photographer for my wife, I literally went through dozens of photographers and when I saw Elena's portraits, I knew immediate that she's the one that I am looking for and the photos turns out to be amazing. Elena is professional and friendly. She responded to our emails quickly and promptly have the edited photos ready to be reviewed. I would definitely recommend her service to anyone who wants to capture the moment to be remembered for a life-time. :)

Gail Fularski

A wonderful talented team of professionals. Loved every aspect of the shoot.

Absolutely, hands down the best photo shoot I’ve ever done with the best photos I’ve ever received. I felt extremely comfortable and was in great hands the entire time. Elena goes over and above and has a great team, space and truly wants you to be happy with your final pictures. I cannot thank you enough!

Rebecca Wood

Elena is truly a gem. Her talent goes far beyond words and her compassion is so genuine. My daughter and I were lucky enough to have met her during a difficult transition in our life. Our time with Elena during our photo shoot was nothing short of inspirational and uplifting. It was exactly what we needed. Elena went out of her way to make sure we were able to get to and from our shoot and made the day so special. Our pictures are breathtakingly stunning. Something we will cherish for many years to come and we will definitely be going back to Live Pixels for all family photos.

Victoria Goncharenko

I had a pleasure of having a photo shoot with Elena at Live Pixels Photography a couple of months ago and absolutely loved it. It exceeded my expectations and the photographs came out simply magical. Elena's unparalleled professionalism, versatility and creativity coupled with her warm and caring personality makes the entire experience one of a kind. You feel and look like a movie star, literally! Highly recommend this photographer: she's top notch and worth your investment.

Melissa D

I work with Elena in her studio often and I am amazed by her gorgeous work! She is professional, creative and a pleasure to be around. She makes all her clients feel comfortable in front of the camera to ensure her photos are perfect. The LIvePixels studio is spacious, welcoming and full of natural light. She truly is a talented photographer who will go above and beyond to make her clients happy. One of the best I've worked with!

Valerie Bozanis

Elena is truly the definition of a talented photographer. Her work is impeccable and one of a kind. She took my engagement, wedding and maternity shoot. I could not have been in better hands, who guided me in every way and even offered outfits when I was lost in ideas. She is super easy to work with! You have one shot to get it right and I would always trust her to succeed. Will continue to give her my business and recommend her to everyone who wants true quality work. All the best!

S Manocha

Thanks Elena for a fabulous experience and gorgeous photographs! Elena and her assistant were so patient, and really thought ahead to prepare for kids. She also took time in advance to plan outfits. We were delighted and would highly recommend her.

Tammie Kovacs

Elena is so wonderful to work with and has a unique ability to bring forward and capture the most beautiful aspects of you. Not only do I cherish the memories of the day of the photo shoot, I have a most beautiful keepsake to remind myself of my inner beauty whenever I need to reconnect with those aspects of myself that may get lost in day to day life. Thank you Elena for one of the top 10 greatest days of my life!!

Debra Davies

I suppose 10 Stars is not an option. Elena's enthusiasm, encouragement, incredible talent, professionalism, patience, awareness and skill gave me the opportunity to enthusiastically explore a different side of myself. Elena - you brought out the best in me. You saw something I did not see in myself. I loved the entire experience - the creativity, focus, fun, whimsy, natural lighting and ...calm. In these photos, I see the past, present and future all at once. Thank you Elena for this moment in time.

Bella Wu

Elena knows her craft. The photos turned out beautiful. The makeup artist and the hair stylist were on standby the entire 4 hours I was there. Overall it was a great experience.

What a great welcome I received from Elena on the day of my photoshoot. It had been in the works for some time being a birthday gift from my hubby I was happy that my appointment was right downtown Oakville on Lakeshore, so didn’t have to travel out of town. I walked in to the large bright studio and from then on felt like a princess. There was Melissa to do my make up. She did a terrific job, and the glamourous outfits I got to try on were out of this world. I love trying on clothes and I think I got to have at least one or two photos from each of the lovely dresses…there was no end to the choices. I was there to get the pick of any of them and was thrilled at the chance. Throughout the photo shoot Elena made me feel that nothing was too much, and she seemed to really enjoy the whole process as much as I did, this made me feel very comfortable and enabled me to relax and let go totally. Looking back I am so glad I chose Elena to do photos for me and have great memories of the day. It was a great ‘pick me up’ and something I shall never regret. I hope to have Elena take photos of my family at some future date, I would recommend her with no hesitation. You should do it. You’ll be thrilled.

I have worked with many photographers in my past. I am a designer and I need quality photo shoots of my designs that involve professional models, etc. Of all the past photographers Elena is by far the best! Exceptional eye for details, quality, she has an amazing personality, friendly, she's everything you want, with great customer service. I highly recommend Elena, I look forward to always working with her at her studio or mine.

Safa Al-Khayal

I went for my maternity photoshoot and absolutely fell in love with every single shot. very creative and professional. Will definitely go back for another photoshoot with my baby. I highly recommend LivePixels ♥️

Karen Pierce

This was one the best experiences I have ever had. So empowering! Thank you Elena.

Anastasia Fusillo

I've used Livepixels Photography on multiple occasions for special events and just for a session to make myself feel special. Elena is a true artist. She made me feel so comfortable in my own skin and the photos turned out beautifully. I keep going back for more! My husband and I both love her work and will continue to use her for all future photography. She has a lot of contacts for great make up and hair stylists who come in and make you look your best, so you can show up in sweats and be transformed into a true beauty. Elena has a real eye for this.

Linda Smyth

I had the most amazing time with Elena and hair and make up person Melissa. They made me feel very comfortable as I’m not great in front of the camera. They made my experience fun. The photos are amazing. Cant wait to receive the photos! Thank you ladies

One will not be disappointed at all to have Elena photography them, whether it be family portraits or head shots. The transformation one sees in these pictures are mind blowing. I went to Elena to have her photograph the new addiction to the family .. My Dog. She had wonderful ideas and incorporated me in them.She knows all the right angels to shoot from, Elena keeps talking and encouraging and you feel one top of the world.. I guess thats what one sees in the pictures . I walked away having such a fun experience ,along with memories that will last a lifetime.

Marie-Claire

I was completely pleased with my experience of the photo shoot from start to finish. I was made to feel comfortable and welcomed by the owner/photographer, Elena. She responded promptly to any questions at all times. Elena is professional and yet kind. Her demeanour was gentle and it put me at ease throughout. The pictures taken were all excellent and it was a difficult task to make a choice but I managed to do so. The final photos were of superior quality and I was extremely pleased with the results. I highly recommend LivePixels Photography. It is an experience to remember!

I surprised my daughter with a photo shoot for her 16th birthday & it was the most amazing day for us both!! Elena over exceeded my expectations! Her ability to capture the most perfect moments is unbelievable - she is an exceptional photographer with such a creative eye. We were so welcomed & comfortable during our full day shoot and were catered to - hair, makeup, wardrobe, croissants, champagne, coffee - she not only worked with my visions but used her own as well - and we loved them all!! My daughter loved every second of this day & it’ll be one she never forgets! We definitely will be going back!! Thank you so much Elena!! I would rate your talent above a 5 star if I could!!

Cathy Miller

I was lucky enough to receive a family photo shoot for my birthday. Little did I know how lucky I actually was !! The day of the shoot was perfect and so much fun. Our hair and makeup was done, our outfits finalized and then it was like a fairy tale, I was a princess for a day. Elena and her team were fabulous and made the experience so much fun. They were so professional and wanted to make sure that we were comfortable at all times. To share this time with my daughter and later my husband and grand-puppy was incredible. Just when I thought the experience couldn’t get any better, I saw the pictures! They were FABULOUS! They captured the magical moments perfectly. Thank you Elena for such a wonderful experience and for the incredible pictures that you took of my family and I. I will treasure them forever.

Michel Shum

Elena is an absolute delight to work with and unimaginably talented. I cannot wait to go back and have family photos done with her!!! My best friend Lilly and I went to get photos for her 40th birthday and it was just a great experience.

Gregoriane Minot

Having my pictures takin by Elena was a true privilege. Her portraits are more than pictures - they render elegance, movement and femininity. Thank you for capturing these timeless works of art my family and I will forever cherish.✨

Trish Butler

Elena is Ah-mazing! She makes the whole experience so wonderful!

Sarah Lanzalone

Working with LivePixels Photography was absolutely a SENSATIONAL experience. The studio itself is breathtaking and the amount of natural light is very unique. The photographer Elena was helpful during every stage of this experience. She helped me select outfits and accessories as well as made suggestions and had a variety of props and clothing on hand for me to use. The makeup artist was more than talented and I will definitely use her again. I felt incredibly beautiful and relaxed during the entire process. The photos were shown to me in a timely manner and all of the photographs exceeded my expectations. I found it very helpful that Elena was able to guide me in poses that I would not have been able to create without her direction. Her vision was clear and her Artistic ability to play with the natural light in her studio was truly amazing. I would definitely recommend LivePixels Photography to a friend. ~Sarah
