Hey, I’m Claire

Nice to meet you

Hi, I’m Claire—photographer, storyteller, matcha addict, and certified Swiftie (Evermore girlies, rise).
I got my start in the sports world, shooting everything from sideline chaos to confetti-filled championships. I've worked with some big names and even snagged an award or two (humble brag). Off the field, I love capturing the stories of everyday people. You're the main character of your life, and I want you to have photos that reflect that.

I love creating timeless photos for:

  • Couples who want to show their personality in fun and unique sessions

  • Seniors (high school or college) on the edge of their next big thing

  • Anyone who wants photos that feel like them

My style? Think editorial meets easygoing. I'll guide you when you need it, hype you up when you don't, and chase the best light like it's a competitive sport.

A few fun facts while we're here:

  • I graduated from Ohio State with a degree in Sports Industry (Go Bucks!)

  • My two cats, Winnie and Roo, run my life and this business

  • My kindle and I are attached at the hip

  • My dream meal is anything Thai

  • Sag sun, Libra moon, Taurus rising if that means anything to you

  • I curate playlists with the precision of a film score composer

  • I collect vinyl, big on analog media!

  • If it's on film or looks like it could be, I'm obsessed

Let's make some memories that look good and feel like you.

Love Notes…

  • "My jaw dropped the first time I saw my photos, I was amazed and loved so many of the shots. Claire was patient with bringing my ideas to life, and my favorite part was bouncing ideas off each other as she brought my vision to life. The turnaround time and communication were great from start to finish. I would totally recommend her to a friend!"

    "I seriously cried when I saw my final gallery—every photo was so beautiful and perfectly edited. Working with Claire was effortless from start to finish. She made us feel completely at ease, guiding us with care and confidence the entire time. Her calm presence and clear direction made all the difference. I’d recommend her in a heartbeat—she’s simply amazing to work with."

    - Nina

  • "Working with Claire was so easy. I felt guided the whole time but also given creative liberty to try different poses and styles, and the timing felt perfect, not too long or short. I felt comfortable asking questions throughout, and the communication was outstanding. The prices were totally fair, the shoot never felt transactional, and I never once felt like just another client on the schedule. I was so excited to see my final photos! The professionalism and quality of service was outstanding. Thank you, Claire!"
