I’m Gina! Thanks for being interested in learning more about me and my business. I am beyond excited about each opportunity that comes my way to make this dream of mine come to life, and on top of that, having the chance to meet some pretty great people.

I was born and raised in Northeast Ohio, but love venturing elsewhere in the world. I love exploring nature and snapping photos of anything in life that catches my eye and brings me happiness. Who hasn’t looked at a throw back photo and smiled? That’s where my love for photography started many years ago. I’m always the one never missing a beat when it comes to capturing memories. I realized how important it was to be able to look back at photos from favorite past times and loved ones, to feel and love the photos that you’re looking back on, and how much they can mean to someone.

- which brings me to say that when hiring a photographer to capture moments you never want to forget, make sure you love their work, and make sure it’s someone you feel that you can connect with.

I get so excited to create and capture some of the most memorable moments for my clients as if they were my own. Seeing others happy, brings me joy. I love, love, and I love seeing good in the world. Let’s celebrate something!

Other than photography being a huge part of my life; Here’s a little more about myself.

I got to marry my best friend and the best person I’ve ever known in September 2020 during the covid pandemic, and also during hurricane Sally on the ocean in Miramar Beach, FL. Sounds like chaos, but with everything crazy going on in the world, it was absolutely my favorite day ever, and I wouldn’t have changed a single thing. (Special thanks to our awesome coordinator and photographer who both braved the weather for us to make that day possible). There’s nobody in this world I’d rather take on this crazy life with. His love and support keeps me going. He brings me back down to earth when I get carried away, and makes anywhere in the world feel like home to me.

Other than being a wife, a cat mom, and a photographer, I just go with the flow of life. I do what makes me happy. I do my best to live each day to the fullest, and slow down when I need to. I try to let all of the positives outweigh any negatives. I try to take the challenging times with a grain of salt, drink a couple margaritas and move on. One thing i’ve always been taught and that has held true is that everything will always work out one way or another. It’s 100% up to me to choose what I make of this life. I just want to be surrounded by good people, and create happiness.

Just a few simple things that bring me happiness:

Taking Photos

Love

Animals

Good, loud music

Spicy food

Sunsets, sun rises, pretty skies

Early quiet mornings

A good sweat session

Beach hangs

The smell of bonfire

Traveling, Hiking, exploring nature

Dancing at weddings

Grabbing a drink or 3 when the weekend hits

crusing in my jeep

Seeing good things happen
