Meet our Team
Cheryl - Owner - Photographer - Stylist
With more than 25 years of photography under my belt, I thrive on experimenting and continuing to keep up with technology. At this point in my career, I am a pro at creating timelines, keeping things organized and handling whatever is thrown my way. Owning a business, being my own boss, I guess was meant to be.
When I’m not shooting photos at our Cleveland studio, I might be out enjoying nature, or yoga, pottery, maybe meditating. My favorite thing to do is spend time with my family, including my grand-doggies Piper & Henry!
I also make a point to connect with my clients. I want to know them on a personal level so I can capture photos that are true to who they are.
Let me tell you about our amazing team.......
