Meet Lola Helka

Ever since I received my first throwaway film camera in eighth grade, I've been captivated by the magic of photography. From that very first roll of film, I knew my future would be behind the lens. While I pursued and obtained a bachelor's degree in English—a nod to my deep affection for writing—my heart has always been most alive when capturing life's beautiful moments through photography. With my camera in hand, I strive to seize the fleeting, cherishable instances that weave the vibrant tapestry of our lives.

I began my professional journey in 2010, blessed to offer a wide array of photographic services. My career started under the mentorship of two of Detroit’s most esteemed wedding photographers—a foundational experience that deeply enriched my skills and passion for capturing love stories. After taking a five-year hiatus to focus on raising my three beautiful children, all ages 10 and up now, I returned to photography with a renewed sense of direction and purpose. Since then, I've expanded my portfolio to include portraits of high school seniors, engaged couples, professional headshots, maternity and newborn portraits, and timeless family and children photographs.

What sets me apart in the photography industry is my unwavering commitment to providing excellent service and a client-focused experience. I ensure every session results in satisfaction and beautiful outcomes, with every image worthy of becoming a treasured family heirloom. Operating from Fenton, Michigan, I also embrace the adventure of destination photography, bringing my lens to breathtaking locations across the globe to capture your most cherished moments.
