SPECIALIZING IN FINE ART PORTRAITURE
HELLO!
I'm Oleksandra, a Westchester photographer specializing in fine art maternity, newborn, baby, and family photography serving Westchester County, Bergen County, NYC, and the surrounding areas. I would love to help you capture some of the most precious moments from your family's journey to (and through) parenthood.
MY STORY
Originally from Ukraine, I moved to the United States as a teenager. Although I began my career in finance, my true passion in life has always been art. I am a former competitive ballroom dancer and taught children's dance classes for 5 years. I also crochet handmade toys and am the owner of an online toy store @leinadboutique .
In 2017, I fell in love with the art of photography. I mentored leading portrait photographers in Canada, Europe, and the USA. 2019 was a year of big transition for me; I quit my corporate job, opened up my portrait studio in Westchester County, NY, and went full-time into photography.
Since then, I've dedicated every free moment to refining my craft. I've had the opportunity to work with hundreds of glowing moms-to-be, sweet babies, and spirited children. Every session is an opportunity to discover something new – and capture my clients' most genuine, beautiful selves.
It would be an honor and a privilege to create one-of-a-kind images of you and your family. I take my role as the creator of these memories very seriously. I strive for photographs that are simple, natural, and pure, capturing the personality of each family member (even the tiniest ones!).
Looking forward to meeting you and working together.
Pregnancy and new parenthood are some of life's most miraculous experiences. But these moments are as fleeting as they are special: before you know it, your tiny baby grows up and you must leave this extraordinary phase behind.
Professional photography can help you capture the magic before it slips away, creating beautiful memories you can cherish forever. With so many newborn, maternity, child, and family photographers to choose from, finding the right person to capture these once-in-a-lifetime moments can feel overwhelming. If you're looking for a custom Newborn, Maternity, Child, or Family photo session in Westchester, NY, New York City, or surrounding areas, we invite you to consider a photoshoot with Stelmah Photo.
My passion and calling are to create pure, natural images of the most precious moments in new parents' lives. As a mother to two young children and a godmother to several others, I have plenty of hands-on experience with children, both at their best and at their worst. I am also CPR-certified and professionally trained to pose and photograph newborns, so you can rest easy knowing that you and your children will be in good hands.
Thank you for allowing me to share my work with you. Please don't hesitate to get in touch with any questions!

I had the most wonderful experience during my maternity photo session! From start to finish, Oleksandra made me feel comfortable, beautiful, and truly celebrated during such a special time in my life.

Oleksandra is an amazing person and photographer. She did my daughter's first birthday photos and I just went back to her for my personal branding photos. She is fun and makes you feel so beautiful. I highly recommend using her for your special photos that will last a lifetime!
ASHLEY N.
Oleksandra is a pro! She took my portrait in a very professional ny photo studio setting, and the pictures turned out great. She has excellent eyes and made me very comfortable with superb direction, subtle but necessary gestures, and positioning. Really impressed with her work, we had a wonderful time. You won’t be disappointed.
CLINT B.
This was my first time doing a studio-based photo shoot, Oleksandra is very easy to work with. For my maternity shoot, she had all the outfits for me; she even had a hair and makeup hookup in the same building. I ended up going with getting my hair and makeup done somewhere else as the studio was closed on the day of my maternity shoot. Oleksandra made me feel incredibly comfortable in front of the camera, and I am pleased with the result. She even threw in a complimentary newborn shoot and five free images, which was incredibly generous of her. She was like a baby whisperer, helping our baby girl get into some very adorable positions. I would recommend Oleksandra for any of your photo needs. Can’t wait to frame these beautiful memories in our home.
EMILY S.
Oleksandra is great! Makes you feel very comfortable and gets everything done VERY quickly. Everything you need is in one building. Not much you need to bring with you unless you have a specific vision. Expect a quick turnaround. Photos come out perfectly edited and are great choices for final products. Everyone who has seen our photos is wowed and so are we! Would definitely recommend!
