Hello, I'm Arrie
Wedding + Lifestyle Photographer
Capturing raw, real, and authentic moments while ensuring I am having a good time is my jam. At my core, I have always been the sentimental type. Holding onto things even when they are so ratty... ensuring photos get taken before the night ends. I cherish little things so deeply in my own life that it translates to how I craft and curate capturing moments for others. The first time I picked up a camera I was just a kid in a yearbook class. I didn't know much of what I was doing at first but I knew it was something I really enjoyed. Ten years later and I guess I never really put the camera back down
Motherhood, Jesus, and being a wife are my favorite things in the world but photography comes right at the end of that list. The first time I picked up a camera was just for fun. Ten years later and I guess I never really put the camera back down.
This passion has lead me to meet so many wonderful people and experience all kinds of things. You sometimes hear the quote "it's just business" and my desire has been to make my business the complete opposite of that.
I am about making things personal and getting to celebrate life with you during our time together and beyond! From weddings, to babies, to your annual family photos - my goal is to be present for the big and the small moments. To capture the big and the little loves in your life.
Let's hang out soon. :)
don't stress
because photos are supposed to be fun
So often I feel like investing in photos can be a stressful time. Whether it is worrying about your outfit or feeling like you are no good in front of a camera, they can feel like more of a burden than an exciting thing. My goal is to take all that stress and worry away from you as we work together. My focus in every session I go into is to just have fun and make you feel as comfortable as possible.
I've never been one to go half in on anything so when you book with me, you're getting a bestie right away. I want each person to know I truly am here for it all. Need a chaos coordinator, a personal shopper for the right clothing, a wedding planner, a professional tag player for your kids or just a person to lean on?
I am your gal!
My hope is that at the end of our time together, you feel the joy, excitement, and every emotion of the session we captured together!
a little more about me
FAQ
What services do you offer?
I offer an array of photography needs. These include weddings and wedding weekend related events, engagement sessions, family sessions, milestones & birthdays as well as a minimal amount of seniors each year. (This includes both college and high school seniors.) I do not capture studio newborn sessions but do provide lifestyle in home family sessions centered around your new baby!
Can you recommend any good locations?
Yes! Doing this long enough I have visited and been fortunate enough to capture love stories in lots of different places. If you share your vision, we will work together to create the perfect backdrop for your photos.
Are the travel expenses included in your packages?
There will be a small additional travel fee for sessions and weddings outside of a 30 mile radius of the Cincinnati area. This additional fee will cover the cost of travel to and from your event as well as an overnight stay if needed for weddings.
Do you offer digital files, prints, or albums?
Your full gallery will be offered through an online digital gallery and you will have full print rights! I also offer a one stop shop where you can do all your printing through me.
What if I am not very good at posing?
That is okay! I TRULY believe photos are supposed to be fun. They're supposed to be enjoyable and not something you have to go into nervous and anxious about. My biggest advice you can do to help during your session - TRUST. I will provide prompts and things as needed to give you you best photos. :)
