Studio 210 | Now available to rent | Cleveland Studio Photography Rental

When I started my photography journey many years ago. My dream was to always have my own shooting space, where I could be myself and allow creatively to flow. Now after working in my own home studio for over 6 years, it was time to have my own space. I understand the need and want to work within the walls of your own studio space.

After finally having my own space and loving every piece of it. I am ready to share with my fellow photographers for rental. My space is located on the second floor of a beautiful and historic building located in downtown Painesville. Suite 210.

The studio has almost 500 square feet with a private changing and client closet across the hall. The studio offers the use of a 3 tiered seamless hanging backdrop system. With gray, black and white seamless paper. I also offer mat flooring for newborn and cake smash shoots along with a shiny white board. Which makes clean ups after smash cakes that much easier!

The best part of the my studio is the additional shooting area called my Lifestyle area. This area features a bed, egg chair, and screen all decorated with a boho theme in mind. There is tons of beautiful light that flows in the studio all hours of the day. With the rental you are welcome to use my Einstein light as well. If you are a newborn photographer, you would have full access to all of my wraps, headbands, props and accessories.

Are you ready to try out a new rental space?? If so, please reach out and let’s chat, I would love to show you around.

Thanks~

Mentor, Ohio CAKE SMASH PHOTOGRAPHER

Can we talk about how adorable Lily is with her special birthday cake?! Cake smash first birthday sessions are one of my absolute favorite studio sessions to photograph. The cake smash sessions can be used alone for their first birthday or it’s included in my bump to baby package! That’s right with my bump to baby package you’ll receive maternity, newborn and a milestone session that can be used any time during the baby’s first year! The majority like the smash cake birthday!

WHAT’S INCLUDED IN A STUDIO CAKE SMASH SESSION

When you book a full 1 hour first birthday shoot I like to work with the family and customize the shoots! As a given I always provide the balloons, props and outfits. I have many different backgrounds than can be used for either boy or girl! I’ve had so many fun and unique sessions over the years.

WHEN TO BOOK?

My calendar does fill up far in advance and I recommend getting on my schedule at least 2 months in advance. Especially, if you are wanting the images to be done prior to their birthday party. My editing turnaround is usually around 2-3weeks.

Contact me today, and we’ll discuss the perfect smash cake session for your little one!

Skip the Traditional: Why Lifestyle Newborn Sessions are Popular | Newborn Photography | Cleveland, Ohio

Skip the Traditional: Why Lifestyle Newborn Sessions are Popular!

I am so excited to share my new Newborn Studio look that I now offer for families wanting Newborn Sessions. Many families are already overwhelmed once coming home from the hospital. The last thing they may want to do is prepare their home for professional photos. That is why I have now created a little photo space that looks cozy and is more lifestyle like. I still offer the traditional backdrop posing for families who want it!

I always give each family the choice of lifestyle or traditional newborn portraits or even a mixture of both! That can be done in my studio. My new set up features a neutral boho style bed and chair that works for both baby and families!

For more information regarding my newborn packages pricing please reach out.

I would love to chat about it XOXO

Baby Elise | Newborn Photographer | Mentor, Ohio | Northeast Ohio | How to prepare?

I know so many parents have questions about Newborn Photography! Especially, after the baby arrives your world can be turned somewhat upside down. The best advice I can give anyone planning on Newborn Photos is to book your session in advance! Please don’t wait until the baby arrives, most photographer are already booked at that point. It’s best to book ahead of time and then sit back and relax until the baby arrives. It is one less thing you need to worry about.

I understand once the baby arrives the first trip for all of you other than leaving the hospital is most likely to the photo shoot. So how to prepare:

Before the session:

Newborn photos are best done within the first 2 weeks of life. If the baby comes early or late no worries I leave room in my calendar to adjust the shoot dates. Please bring all essential baby items with you, bottle, changes of clothes, diapers, pacifiers. Recommend the family to wear neutral clothes. Flowing dresses look nice for mom and add a more soft look to the photos.

During the session:

After arriving, I like to start with the baby first unless they are unable to settle. Then I will move onto family and newborn shots. Plan on the photos to take about 2 hours. If you are traveling with younger siblings I recommend either bringing 2 cars and dad can leave with the siblings once their photos are done.

After the session:

I will do a sneak peek of fully edited photos 2-3 days after the session. You are able to fully download and share those photos. The full galleries are done in 2-2.5 weeks. The galleries are archived for 1 year with my studio.

This really is a special and amazing time of your life. It just takes a little planning ahead of time but will make many lasting memories.
