Owner, Principal Photographer
Photography has been a constant in my family. Starting with my grandfather, everything was documented. I have film scans from the 1930's when he took photos of his friends playing baseball. Images of his honeymoon with my grandmother in the 1940's. He loved photography and documented everything.
This continued through my childhood. He documented every second of our childhood- literally thousands of photos.
By the time I was double digits I was borrowing my parent's camera and sending in rolls of film to be developed at CVS (where I subsequently worked as a teen). I ended up breaking my parent's "nice" camera and this prompted them to buy me my very first real camera. A Pentax 35mm Analog SLR. I used the hell out of that thing.
When I started my business in 2006 I used the savings bonds that my grandfather gave me to purchase my first digital camera. It was a full circle moment for me and I'd like to think he would be proud.

She’s creative, talented, incredibly personable, and knows how to wrangle a crowd! She took every photo we wanted and captured so many moments we were unable to see because it was a busy day. What a joy it was to look through our gallery to see how much fun everyone had! We even had guests requesting her information at the wedding - she is that good. Folks kept asking us if we knew her personally because of how comfortable she made us and everyone at the event. She’s magic- highly recommend!
"Kristen was everything you want in a wedding photographer."
Kristen has been a photographer since she was in high school on the yearbook staff. She started her company in 2006 with a focus on weddings and portraits. After shooting her first wedding nineteen years ago, Kristen was hooked. For her, the excitement of a wedding day is unmatched and the happiness her photographs bring the couples she serves is what fuels her passion. Kristen is a perfectionist by nature, so organization and details are a top priority for her. Even though she has been doing this for almost two decades, Kristen always strives to learn and grow in order to offer the very best to the people who put their trust in her.
When Kristen is not behind the camera or computer, she enjoys spending time with her family, her animals (two dogs and a cat), and being outdoors. Coffee is her love language and skiing gets her through the Cleveland winters. She believes her dance moves are killer, but her daughters will argue to the contrary.

The outpouring of happiness and love on her own wedding day is the reason she decided to become a wedding photographer. The joy and magic that happens at each wedding is something that continually captivates her and fills her heart to the brim! She thinks that the most beautiful and memorable moments on a wedding day come from genuine connections and emotions. She loves to capture the first look as well as the little unseen candid moments throughout the day.
Renee and her husband love spending time outdoors with their pups and visiting new craft breweries. Her husband is an avid golfer and while Renee isn't a big fan of the sport, she really enjoys the chill vibes of driving him all over the course in a golf cart, sipping on ice cold drinks. When the camera is turned towards Renee she transforms into Tyra Banks, so don't let her quiet demeanor fool you.

Jaime got started in videography because her husband (our very own Dan- awwww) needed an extra set of hands and Jaime quickly fell in love with being a filmmaker. Jaime is passionate about capturing the authentic and candid moments. Wedding days are her favorite because it is an opportunity to document such an important part of someone's life. Jaime has a keen eye for detail and a commitment to excellence.
In her free time, Jaime chases around her two little boys who keep her on her toes. Two under three is no joke! She has two huskies that are crazy and sweet at the same time. You'd never guess it, but she has the forearms of a professional baseball player from carrying around the 20-75mm f/2.0 lens.

Caleb is from Ohio, but lived in San Diego while he served in the United States Navy. While in the Navy he was an air rescue swimmer and jumped out of helicopters into the ocean (he is kind of a bad ass). He now lives in Norton with his wife and cat. Together they love being outdoors. Caleb pretends to be shy, but once you get him posing in front of the camera he turns into a male model.
