Hiring a photographer for your portraits, events, and milestones is about more than just capturing a moment — it’s about creating a lasting memory that reflects your unique personality and story.

As a Cleveland-based photographer with experience across Northeast Ohio, I take a creative and personalized approach to every session, ensuring your photos stand out while authentically representing you and your loved ones.

Individual Portraits and Family Photos

Whether you’re looking for a solo portrait or a family session, my goal is to create images that feel natural and true to life. I go beyond the standard posed shots, capturing candid moments of laughter, affection, and interaction. For family sessions, this might mean finding a beautiful park setting where kids can play freely or a quiet spot where everyone feels at ease. My approach ensures your portraits are not only beautiful but meaningful.

Lifestyle Photos

Lifestyle photography is about capturing life as it happens — the little details, emotions, and interactions that make up your story. Whether it’s spending a day exploring Cleveland Metroparks or enjoying a cozy morning at home, I’ll work with you to create images that reflect the real you. My creative eye means I’ll notice the moments others might miss: the way sunlight falls through a window, the joy in your expression when you’re caught mid-laugh, or the intimacy of a shared glance.

High School Senior and Commencement Photos

Your senior year and graduation are significant milestones, and I strive to make your photos as memorable as the moment itself. I’ll work with you to choose locations that reflect your personality, from the urban charm of downtown Cleveland to the natural beauty of the Cuyahoga Valley National Park. My creative approach means we might incorporate unique angles, such as taking photos through a fence, by a lake, or at the edge of a dramatic cliffside, to make your images truly one of a kind.

Events Like Birthdays, Reunions, and Showers

Capturing the energy and joy of events is one of my specialties. From the surprise and excitement of a birthday party to the warm connections at a family reunion, I focus on preserving the emotions of the day. My willingness to go the extra mile — whether it’s climbing to the base of a waterfall for the perfect shot or discreetly capturing candid moments when guests aren’t looking at the camera — ensures you’ll have a collection of images that tell the full story of your event.

Why Choose Me?

What sets me apart is my commitment to creativity and adventure. I see photography as an opportunity to go beyond the expected. If it means safely hiking down a high ravine to get the perfect angle, experimenting with reflections, or using natural elements to frame a shot, I’m ready to make it happen. I work collaboratively with clients to ensure they feel comfortable and excited, resulting in photos that are as enjoyable to take as they are to look back on.

If you’re in Cleveland or Northeast Ohio and want more than just photos — if you want art that tells your story — I’d be honored to help you capture your most meaningful moments.
