On Finding Light in Ordinary Moments
I've been thinking about light lately—not just technical specs and settings, but really observing what light does when it touches a face, a room, a moment. This week, during a family session, we caught this perfect instance where late afternoon sun filtered through lace curtains, creating these delicate patterns across a grandmother's hands as she held her newborn grandson.
The technical part was easy: 85mm lens, f/1.8, slight underexposure to preserve highlights. But the real magic wasn't in the camera settings—it was in waiting, watching, and recognizing when all the elements aligned. That patience to let moments unfold naturally, rather than forcing them, is what transforms a good photo into something people treasure for generations. I find myself returning to this philosophy constantly: the best photographs happen when we create space for authenticity rather than manufacturing perfection.

Discuss Your EventThe Creative Lab
Where experimentation meets artistry
Once a month, we dedicate our studio to pure creative exploration. These aren't traditional portrait sessions—they're collaborative art projects where we push boundaries, try new techniques, and create something truly unique.
This Month: Light Painting & Long Exposure Portraits
We're exploring the intersection of movement and stillness, using long exposure techniques and light painting to create ethereal, painterly portraits. Participants become co-creators as we experiment with colored gels, LED tools, and unconventional light sources to capture otherworldly imagery.
Creative Lab sessions happen the first Tuesday of each month. Limited to 4 participants for an intimate, experimental atmosphere. Sometimes unexpected. Always artistic. Forever memorable.

Our Story, Through the Lens
The journey from passion to professional studio
The Beginning
Elena Kovich returns to Edmonton after a decade photographing across Europe and North America. The question: could we create a photography studio that prioritized artistic vision and genuine human connection over quick turnarounds and template poses?
Building Our Vision
Despite pandemic challenges, we used the time to design our dream studio space, develop our signature style, and connect with the Edmonton creative community. Every detail was intentional—from the natural light windows to the comfortable client lounge.
Opening Day
October 15th: Tenzaro Photo Studio opens its doors. Our philosophy is simple—create images that capture authentic moments and make people feel truly seen. Quality over quantity. Connection over convention.
Growth & Evolution
The Creative Lab launches, along with our education workshops. We're not just taking photos—we're building a community of artists, teaching the next generation, and pushing creative boundaries monthly.
Today & Tomorrow
Still learning, still growing, still capturing stories. Every client teaches us something new. Our commitment remains unchanged: approach every session with artistry, treat every person with respect, and never stop asking what photography can become.
