Raw, authentic, emotive photos that tell a story...
Kids can be kids.
You don't have to pose.
Real life is more than enough.
Real life,
but make it beautiful.
NYC family, maternity, and newborn photography focused on connection, movement, and the moments you didn't even realize were happening.
Families.
Photos that feel like your family - not a version of you trying to behave for the camera.
NYC locations or in-home.
Maternity.
A mix of strength and softness, with gentle guidance and space to just be.
Newborn.
Calm, baby-led session at home.
No props. No rush. No pressure.
"Alena is an outstanding photographer! She has the ability and eye to make any location look magical. She is so easy to work with and is wonderful with children. We have worked with her three times, even after moving out of NYC. Every time we are thrilled with our family photos! I can't recommend her enough!"
"I first found TheABView on Instagram & I really loved the style and mood of her shots. I instantly wanted to work with her. We recently booked & completed a family Christmas shoot. Alena of TheABView was so great to work with - she communicated well, was on time & had so many amazing ideas of poses (which I personally struggle with). She made us look amazing! I normally am so picky over photos and when she sent me the gallery, my husband & I loved EVERY SINGLE ONE that we ended up purchasing the whole album (we initially signed on for 10 images). I honestly can’t wait for another occasion to book her again!"
"Alena is an incredibly talented photographer. She has an amazing eye, way of bringing your family together, and the results are beautiful. She has shot our family 4 times, and we had an amazing experience every time! We even moved out of state, and I found a way to do a shoot. We love her that much."
Kind words
