My Story

Hello, I'm Lera, a photographer based in Ottawa, and I have a passion for capturing moments that bring joy. My journey started with my own animals, wanting to create lasting memories of those perfect, fleeting moments of happiness. I'm particularly drawn to capturing the beauty of carefree joy, finding magic in those unguarded moments where genuine happiness shines through. Collaboration is essential to my work. I strive to create an environment where clients feel comfortable, allowing their true selves to shine effortlessly. Each project is a chance to connect, be creative, and immortalize memories that last. As I evolve in this ever-changing field, I look forward to new projects and meeting individuals who share a passion for storytelling through imagery. Every photo tells a story, and I'm here to skillfully capture yours. Why Alegre? Felix and Alegre, both meaning joy, capture my favorite part of photography—preserving moments of happiness! Felix, the little border collie, hasn't left my side on any of my adventures.
