Hi, I’m Agnes, a Cleveland photographer!

I am a photographer specializing in timeless & elegant portrait photography which includes maternity, boudoir, family and lifestyle newborn. Distinct genres that celebrate and encapsulate different stages of life. Most of all, I am a photographer for WOMEN.

It is my mission to make everyone in front of my camera feel comfortable and at ease. To bring out your true personality, a little bit of your soul and to feel energized and more confident about yourself! Be prepared to love your portraits and the person you see in them!

Want to know more about me?

Intimate stories of love.

Photographs that evoke a sense of connection and joy.

I am here to honor and to celebrate the many phases of our lives.

Newborn photography that is natural, not rushed and full of love.

Lifestyle Newborn Photography

Every newborn session with me is stress free and without stiff posing or props which in my opinion take away from the newborn baby stage and what is most important. True feelings, connection and love is what I strive to capture. In the comfort of your home where you and your baby feel most relaxed. Don’t worry if the nursery is not finished or if your house isn’t spotless. I always focus on people and not the backdrop and many times a plain wall will result in the most beautiful newborn photograph.

Boudoir photography that feels like artwork.

Elegant Boudoir Photography

This is so much more than just “boudoir photography”. It is a ceremony. A way to reconnect with yourself. A journey of self-acceptance and being comfortable in your own body. It is a courageous way of embracing yourself. Because you ARE radiant, beautiful, strong and powerful. You are WORTH it.

Photographs that don’t feel embarrassing but rather admirable and inspiring.

Timeless maternity portraiture

Photography that celebrates you and the miracle within you.

Your essence, beauty and emotions as you await your greatest gift.

Maternity Photography

Maternity portraiture is a remarkable way to document this transformative period in a woman’s life. Preserving not only the incredible physical body of an expectant mother but also the emotional journey of pregnancy. The photographs provide a tangible heirloom allowing families to reflect on the anticipation, love and excitement felt during this time. Allowing children to glimpse the beginning of their story.

What Cleveland women

are saying:

“I found Agnes through a Google search for Cleveland area photographers. We had a big family group of 11, some of us coming from FL. From the time of first contact all the way through the end of receiving our pictures and follow up email, she was absolutely awesome! So professional and fun to work with. We had lots of different family group dynamic photos we wanted taken, and she did a superb job capturing all of us, including a 3 month old, and 4 and 7 year old! She is so good with the kids. This is your sign to go with her for your family pictures, you will not be disappointed! Thank you so much!”

Samantha K.
“BOUDOIR BRILLIANCE! She creates space so that before, during, and after your shoot, you feel like an absolute Goddess. I am the softest, and heaviest I’ve ever been, yet I felt so connected to my sensuality and power. The whole experience felt like the big thank you to my hard working, under appreciated, beautiful body. These photos are truly art…pieces I’ll cherish forever and be proud to share.”

Stephanie T.
“Agnes was PHENOMENAL!! She did an amazing job at our shoot and was so incredibly patient with our kiddos. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience with her and she made everyone feel so comfortable during the pictures. Our photos turned out perfect and we could not be more pleased! We loved her and would recommend her to anyone.”

Alyssa R.
“I got branding headshots done by Agnes and can't recommend her enough! She was incredibly easy to get in touch with, and had me create a vision board for the exact look I was going for, which I thought was such a great idea and proved to be so useful during our shoot. I wanted pictures taken in a studio as well as an outdoor location, and she was able to make that happen! Her studio is gorgeous, and I still can't believe how much time we spent together that day. Nothing ever felt rushed, and she helped direct me during the shoot, so I felt completely comfortable and myself. The pictures turned out amazing, and she got them back to me within a few days. I've been showing them to everyone, and we all agree these are some of the best headshots we've ever seen! I can't recommend her enough, and hope to work with her again in the future.”

Grace R.
“Agnes is AMAZING! We started working with her when my daughter was born (for newborn photos) and have worked with her for updated family pictures since then. Her photos always come out beautiful and I will 100% continue working with her to take new photos every year! She is so patient with my little ones, and really works her magic to make sure she gets the perfect shots. She never rushes our photo sessions either, which is so important when dealing with kids. Unlike other family photographers I’ve been in contact with, she is communicative, flexible, and reliable. Definitely recommend her to anyone looking for family photos to cherish for years to come!”

Megan P.
“The boudoir shoot was the most liberating thing I've done in my life. Agnes is incredibly easy-going, and very professional at the same time. She creates a very safe atmosphere where I felt I could really be myself. The photoshoot made me feel very confident I definitely boosted my self-image. The photobook I received a little after the shoot is beautifully finished and very high quality. And her photos? A WORK OF ART! Do it for yourself!”

Maria P.
Agnes is fantastic! She takes beautiful photos. Agnes makes both of my boys smile and laugh the entire time. I would highly recommend her! We will definitely be using her for years to come!

Renee D.
Agnes was absolutely wonderful to work with! We were looking for a photographer to do maternity photos and newborn photos that had a more natural look and feel to them. We decided to contact Agnes about Maternity, Fresh 48, and Newborn photos. She was so flexible as things changed with our due date and provided great suggestions for locations. She made us feel really comfortable during all the sessions and the photos she captured were exactly what we were looking for.

I was drawn to Agnes' black and whites for my Boudoir session. I was diagnosed with breast cancer and knew I wanted to capture myself in my raw form as I was before any treatment or possible surgery. It was a gift to myself to cherrish my body and all that it has done for me over the years: motherhood, feeding my babies, Ironmans and marathons. Agnes made me feel extremely comfortable from our first conversation and during the shoot. The pictures were breathtaking and more than I could have envisioned for myself. I felt so empowered every step of the way, from booking the session, during the session and even now when I look at my album. This was the best gift I ever gave to myself <3
