HI! I'm Naomi and I'm a queer, autistic photographer. I make the point to mention that foremost because it plays a huge role in what my business looks like. I don't believe in leaving our humanity at the door when we step into the world of business. I believe in coming as I am and I invite you to do the same if you feel safe and comfortable to do so.
From a young age, I have been infatuated with the world of creativity. Be it arts and crafts at the dining table, counting down the days till "art day" at school, picking up my parents point and shoot Kodak film camera and forcing my dog to pose from me, or obsessing over my Instagram feed- I have always been drawn to the idea of creating something of my own.
After dropping out of college with no real ambitions, my then-boyfriend and now-husband encouraged me to pursue my passion for photography and several years later, here we are.
I am continually inspired by people and their stories and the things that their photos say back to them.
I live in Columbus, Ohio with my partner, Alex and our Pit Bull, Igor. We recently bought a house and have been loving filling it with our thrifted finds and hosting our friends for dinner parties.
In my spare time, I like to play video games, snap photos on my point and shoot film camera, grab a bite to eat at Dirty Franks with my friends, and hang out with my dog.

About Naomi
I will invest in you and your overall experience from start to finish. The value you receive from me won't just be evident within your final gallery. My goal is that you find value in your interactions with me, the information you're given along the way, and the friendship we create over the next several months. Whether it's buying you a coffee admits the wedding planning craziness, welcome gift boxes when you book your wedding, complimentary Polaroids during the big day, timeline help, or simply the time we spend together on your wedding day, I hope you too feel valued by me.
The Four Pillars
VALUE
Honesty and transparency are so incredibly important in the wedding industry. To check-in with myself, I ask these questions. Are the photos we’re taking true to who you are? Am I being upfront and honest about the value you’re getting and what you can expect from me? Am I being honest with what I share on social media about my business and personal life? Am I portraying a reality that doesn’t exist? Most importantly, am I being honest within our communication about what you can expect from me?
honesty
The moments we are capturing should feel intimate, personal, and raw. I value taking things slow during our time together, leaving room to just be in the moment, and creating an authentic experience that you feel comfortable in to let your true emotion and connection with each other show.
intimacy
I don’t want to just capture photos. I want to capture the connections you share with your loved ones- to truly capture the emotion of the moment and ensure your images portray the depth of your relationships.
