Ohio Beach Family Portraits
I grew up going to Huntington Beach on the west side of Cleveland. Many people have said they can hardly believe this is Ohio, when they look at photos of it.
I have worked with Kaila Jackson once before, when I got to photograph her and the kids in her stunning pastel floral garden.
Her aesthetic is so beautiful and speaks to me as a fellow artist – even the outfits she planned for our beach shoot evoked her “romantic and wild,” artistic vibe.
On her website, she says:
“Whether I am marveling over the gift of growing my own flowers and food from seeds or hunting along the shores of Lake Erie searching for mineral pigments to make paint, my face is always turned toward the warm rays of the sun.”

So, of course, what could be more suiting than to photograph her family on the beach.
Huntington Beach was where practiced photo-shooting with my first SLR when I was in high school, long before I ever imagined photography would become my full-time career. Being back there now, with the job of my dreams, with a good friend and her gorgeous family made this an extra special shoot for me.
If you’d like to capture the beauty of the Lake Erie shore, or another location that has meaning to you in the Cleveland area, be sure to get in touch.
