Meet Keren

Hi, I’m Keren Elenie, the vision and heart behind Keren Portraits.

Photography has always been more than just capturing images for me—it’s about telling stories, preserving emotions, and highlighting the beauty in every moment. With years of experience behind the lens, I strive to create photos that feel real, timeless, and uniquely you.

Whether it’s a candid laugh, a fleeting glance, or the energy of a special day, my goal is to turn your moments into art that you can cherish forever.

Let’s create something unforgettable together.

Fun Facts About Me

  • From the historic art capitals of Europe to the vibrant creative energy of Bali, Mexico, and New York, my camera is always with me. I treat travel not just as a destination, but as a continuous study of global light, architecture, and style, deeply shaping my chic, editorial eye for portrait photography

  • I’m a proud cat mom to my sweet Mayo, who loves to occasionally supervise my creative work. I also carry a deeply special place in my heart for my late dog, Oliver, whose loyal and joyful spirit continues to inspire me every single day. They are a constant reminder to capture life’s most precious, grounding moments.

  • My foundation as an artist began with classical rhythm and harmony, having spent many years playing the piano and training in vocals. While my creative expression has shifted from the keys to the camera lens, that lifelong appreciation for composition and storytelling naturally dictates how I frame every single portrait.

  • My daily rituals are entirely non-negotiable: a premium cup of super green matcha paired with a great record spinning in the background. Hunting for rare vinyl finds fuels my creativity, while the matcha provides the perfect blend of focus and calm to keep my eye sharp from the very first frame to the last."

  • With a background rooted in analytical discipline from UC Berkeley, I specialize in intimate, one-on-one portrait sessions designed to make you feel completely seen. I firmly believe that with a shared, uncompromising vision, we can bring any luxury concept to life, no matter how ambitious it may seem. Let's dream big.
