Local Photography in Cincinnati, OH

If you're looking for an easy-to-work-with, go with the flow photographer, you've made it to the right place. I love spending the day and getting to know my clients so I can capture images that tell their story and that they can look back on lovingly. It's as much about the experience as it is the final images and I aim to blow you away with both! With a creative eye, and an art degree to back it up, I invite you to step in front of my lens and let your love story unfold against the backdrop of this beautiful city.

Hi, I’m Lucy — a passionate photographer chasing light, love, and the chance to be great. My journey into photography started with a camera and a curiosity for human connection. Now, I’m pouring my heart into capturing real, raw moments for couples on the edge of forever. I specialize in engagement photography because I believe there’s magic in the in-between — the quiet glances, the laughter before the vows, the electricity of “I do” just around the corner. My style is warm, natural, and emotionally rich. I’m not here to pose you into perfection. I’m here to tell your love story, exactly as it is. I’m walking into shoots with a vision, dedication, and the deep desire to create something meaningful — not just pretty pictures, but moments you can feel again and again. If you’re a couple looking for someone who genuinely cares, who loves what they do, and dreaming big — I’d be honored to work with you. Let’s create something beautiful together.

My clients are most attracted to my authentic and unique portraiture style, which is cultivated by my photojournalist roots. I enjoy capturing authentic moments that transpire naturally in the presence of authentic people. Reflecting back to my earliest childhood memories, I guess I have always been a photographer at heart. Growing up in a household as one of 6 children with only one income, we often struggled financially. As a result, taking photographs wasn’t on the list of priorities for my parents and so many of the memories lost to recollection, are lost forever. My social status is “Butterfly.” When I am not shooting professionally, I am most definitely either at church or at one of my 3 kids’ competitive sporting events. We are your typical all sports family and I am most certainly the coolest minivan mom you’ll ever see. I have been an athlete and sports fanatic all my life. I come from a very athletic family, excelling in a variety of school sports. In college, I studied sports medicine and worked with college athletes in multiple division I sports. With my obvious, but slight, obsession with sports, it isn’t much of a surprise that I, also, moonlight as a sports photographer, shooting action photographs for various youth sporting events and creating “Tricked Out” digital graphic products.
