What's NEW this Christmas Season?!
We created an ADORABLE outdoors camper set from-get this, a bale of hay, some spray paint & a handful of props!
You know how you see an extensive amount of ideas on social media, like Pinterest, Instagram & Facebook? My neighbor seen this idea and asked if we could use it as inspiration & create something similar! Mission accomplished! We captured my neighbor's family pictures with it, now we're ready to capture your family with it!
This outdoor set is definitely pet friendly...check out a couple other family pictures - one with thier cat & one with thier pup!
Our studio sessions will not disappoint this season! Our new formal backdrop is beautiful with the tall arch window & Chrismas trees.
For those of you who like matching pjs, I will be adding a bed with nurual colors on Dec. 6th!
My favorite Christmas sessions are the 12 Days of Photos! What is it you ask? I have you in the studio & capture 12 different Christmas themed photos...then beginning Dec. 1st through the 12th I will text you a different photo each day! At the end of the 12 days you will be emailed a link to all of the photos with the print release! Each day is a surprise, because it's the 1st time you've seen the picture!
Here are the details of the outdoor sessions and the formal studio sessions.....
If this wasn't enough, I have one more holiday special!

What does Harry Potter & The Steelers Have in Common?
What does Harry Potter & The Steelers have in common?!
Engaged couple Nicole & Tim!
Later this year Nicole & Tim are tying the knot, so we recently captured fun engagement pictures of them............
We are located in Northeast Ohio, in January...we did not want the weather to interfere with the engagement photo session. So, we agreed to hold the session at my studio. We managed to get 3 completely different looks from our 1 location! The Steelers theme was shot in my actual studio, with a solid white backdrop & studio lighting. The Harry Potter setting is actually the hallway leading up to my studio. The hallway is long with vintage black & white tile floor, wooden doors & brick walls. It was absolutely perfect for our Harry Potter look!
Nicole also wanted a 'normal / classic' outfit, so we headed upstairs in the building & utilized the landing between staircases. They coordinated their outfits with black shirts & jeans while I edited the pictures to a classic black & white finish......
Thanks Nicole + Tim!

NEW Christmas Sets 2023!!!
Magical Wonderland
Starry Night
12 Days of Christmas
Let's create pictures full of joy & magic this Christmas!
We are offering three different Christmas specials this year - Magical Wonderland, Starry Night & 12 Days of Christmas.
For our Magical Wonderland we decided to accent our stain glass window with festive Christmas garland, twinkling lights & frosted snow. We also added several red wrapped Christmas gifts to brighten up the wooden wall backdrop. For this setting families are welcome to wear formal attire or casual, both will photograph nicely!
The Starry Night Setting is perfect for matching Christmas pjs or coordinating flannels! We put up a teepee, string of lights, a small green tree & some fluffy snow to create this studio setting. The starry look is added after the session with a touch of photoshop.
Our third studio Christmas special is THE 12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS! This is a must do! For those of you who haven't heard...we take 12 Christmas themed pictures of your loved one(s) without you looking, then we text you a different picture each day for 12 days! At the end of the 12 days you do get an online gallery of all the pictures with the print release! This session has to be held in November because we text the pictures Dec.1st - Dec. 12th.

We are a full service photography studio...so no need to limit our sessions to certain days. Keep in mind popular weekends do fill up quickly, so book your session as soon as possible.

Best Little Boho Beach in Ohio!
Our beach + boho summer photoshoot was a dream. Our planning began months ago, when my partner in crime aka Stefanie Sobinovsky & I were planning our annual collaborations (for those of you who do not know, Stef is a professional stylist.) We threw each other ideas - one of mine was 'women in water'. When I showed her sample pictures of what I meant she was all in. We both knew we wanted to offer local women the opportunity to feel naturally beautiful on the beach & in the water.
Our location was perfect & only a short drive for everyone involved...Craig Beach State Park. This park is a small family friendly state park located in Mahoning County. We only used a sliver of the beach to capture our entire gallery. We met at 7:30am and began shooting about 8am, so the beach was quiet and not full of swimmers yet.
Stef & I are incredibly thankful for two amazing women...Mallori Duvall and Annabelle Himes. They both braved the cloudy morning and let us direct them during the photo shoot. Both women were willing to walk into the lake water for us & we are so glad they did! Here is a sampling of their one-of-a-kind, jaw dropping beautiful portraits...
If you love these photos and would like a session of your own - email us [email protected]
There is so much included...
1) Personal styling session with Cru. Stef will get you on her schedule before our shoot date & make sure you are wearing perfect boho vibes.
2) Beach Photoshoot! Choose which date is best for you July 13, 14 or 15th. Start time will be early morning, around 8am
3) We will have a reveal session at our studio in Canfield. This is when you will see all the pictures we take & get to take home an 8x10 framed print and your swag bag!
This photoshoot experience is only $199. There are limited spots, book yours today! You will enjoy it!
Shout out to Beauty Rituals owner, Mallori and owner of Heroes and Tiaras , Annabelle-they are both radiant souls & are showcased in our blog!
Stef and myself!
Super nice tractor guy cleaning up the beach! Best photobomb!
Why You Need a Mommy + Me Photo Session
Why you need to book a MOMMY + ME photoshoot...because our children grow up so fast, I am REALLY REALLY fast. With a blink of an eye we are in the next stage of MOTHERHOOD. We remember so many firsts...their 1st steps, 1st words, 1st haircut...but as the stages of MOTHERHOOD progress you realize - you never know when their last is...the last time you pick them up, the last time you wait at the end of the driveway for the bus, the last time you cut up all their dinner. This is why you need to book the MOMMY + ME Photoshoot...you want to capture all the fun memories while you can.
I'm booking both studio and outdoor sessions. Simply email or call to reserve your session.
Canfield, Oh and surrounding areas.
Happy Mother's Day Mamas! xoxo Shyla
