Cleveland & Akron, Ohio Family, Newborn & Maternity Photographer
Photographs should be like a good song you play on repeat…
they should make you feel nostalgic and tell a damn good story.
Based in Medina (my studio is located on historic Public Square!) and serving families throughout Cleveland, Akron, and Northeast Ohio, I specialize in natural light, documentary style photography for families, expecting moms, and new babies.
My approach is relaxed and unscripted, so real laughter, real moments, real life, whether we're in my studio or on location at your favorite park, backyard, or neighborhood spot.
Sessions are currently available for family, maternity, newborn, and senior portraits, with flexible studio and outdoor options across Cleveland, Akron, Canton, and Medina.
What type of a session are you looking for?
Cleveland, Ohio Photographer & Lover of Nostalgic Portraits…
I’m Lauren Grayson!
You deserve photographs that are as unique as you.
That don’t look like everyone else’s. That aren’t at the same park, in the same color scheme, with the same fake smiles. You deserve images that scream, “This is who WE are!”.
Everyone WANTS great photos…but the idea of getting them…sounds less than appealing.
After 13 years as a full time, professional photographer, I have a system down to a science. I take all the guesswork out of the photo session planning process and do the heavy lifting so that you just have to show up and get the photos done.
Because if it ain’t easy, you’re just never going to do it. So instead of stressing out about it, I will help you plan and execute the perfectly imperfect, messy, session you’ve ever had!
Ready to stop waiting for the perfect time (hint: it doesn’t exist) to get photos taken?
