Your Bio

I am a photographic artist working in the Cincinnati area, and a member of the Professional Photographers of America. Although I have a Bachelors of Fine Arts in Applied Photography (from Northern Kentucky University), I am also a mother of two, and a lover of the theatre. These diverse interests have lead me in two directions - family portraiture and performance photography. In my family shoots, I strive for a fun, laid back atmosphere where the children’s true personality can show through. A great family portrait shouldn’t be stressful! In my performance photography, I strive to capture the passion and pure emotion of the performers.

I have recently completed the first few steps toward Special Kids Photography of America accreditation. If your child has special considerations, I am happy (and trained) to create a photo session that will keep your child happy and safe while creating the portrait of your dreams.
Email me with any questions.

Angie and the Kids : The family picture and the one of the three kids are complete (I swapped heads about to get the best picture I could.)  On the family shot I also set up a black and White and a "hand colored" look so you could see how those look. I included a few more of the family just for fun. let me know if there are any you want converted to black and white. I will also post a few collages in a couple of days. If you want any stretched canvases - email me first. They can get a bit weird and need a special set up to get them to come out correctly.

Bobbie's in town! : These are all straight out of the camera. If you want to order or download something, email me and I can fix anything (like stray food on the face) and color correct for printing.  My email is schetch@gmail.com
