LOCATIONS
We serve all of North East Ohio's photo needs including Cleveland & Akron areas. While our in-home studio is nestled against one of Cleveland's beautiful metro parks in Richfield, Ohio, we travel to all surrounding areas in Cleveland & Akron for photography. Not sure where to have your photoshoot in Cleveland or Akron? We have many location ideas and will be happy to have a FREE consultation to come up with the perfect location in the Cleveland or Akron area. Need us to travel further? No problem. Contact us today for a consultation about where in Ohio we can photograph!
USING NATURAL LIGHT
With the exception of our traditional headshot process, we are known for our portraits utilizing natural light. Our studio is located on an edge of metro park giving us nature as our backdrop! Richfield is also nestled against the heart of the Cuyahoga Valley National Park, which also gives us easy access to many other amazing forest, field and park scenes. Most of our family, senior and baby portraits are scheduled around sunset during the golden-hour which provides magical backlight. Additionally our real estate day-time photos are typically scheduled during mid-day sun when the natural window light is most-likely to light the interior of the property beautifully. Twilight photos are of course scheduled at twilight hour - shortly after sunset - which provides amazing skies with glowing warm windows.
OUR PROCESS
We start with a free phone consultation. After hearing what your vision for the photoshoot is, we discuss and brainstorm ideas for the perfect Cleveland or Akron location, we give outfit recommendations and set up a time and date. You'll then be emailed a link to easily reserve your customized photo session and make your deposit. During portrait photoshoots, you'll be fully guided through poses to capture the perfect look - right down to the detail of how to place your fingers! The best photos will be emailed to you digitally via a Dropbox link. All photos are delivered unbranded and we allow our clients to have full copy-right free printing or use them for whatever purpose they like! If you want extensive editing on your images we offer many different photoshop & editing packages including our very popular in-person editing sessions where you get to sit down with Liza personally and be fully involved in the editing process!
“Our mission is to capture and create beauty - everywhere.”

"I have had Liza take my photos multiple times for many different occasions. From classic headshots, to a 12 photo sexy calendar shoot, she's done it all! One of her biggest strengths is making her clients feel comfortable during the photoshoots. You feel like you're just having a fun photo shoot with your best friend! She's always punctual and professional and above all, very fair with pricing and helping you choose which photos to have her edit. The photos are forever, but the experience of the shoot itself is also something unforgettable. I highly recommend her for any photo occasion!" -Arielle
"WOW! that is all I can say. First, thank you Liza for the amazing photos. I have never modeled or anything before. Other than my senior photos back in high school, that is all the professional photography I "posed" for. The entire experience was FUN! Before the session I met with Liza, and she was very receptive to my ideas and to my "vision"... Liza went out of her way to make sure I was comfortable. It really felt like I was hanging out with a friend. A tip; I would definitely recommend to allow Liza to do your make-up. When I saw the photos "post-production" I was amazed! After the session was over, she told me she'd have my photos ready within a week. Talk about promptness! She had them back to me in less than a week. I just can't believe she was able to be a make-up artist, photographer, and editor. Thank you again for this seamless experience!!" - LK
"Liza is incredibly warm and fun! She made me feel completely comfortable and told me exactly what to do to get perfect poses. The photos are stunning. I would absolutely recommend working with Liza and will be referring all of my friends!" - Sarah
