Northeast Ohio Photoshoot Location Guide

Thank you so much for choosing me as your Northeast Ohio photographer—I’m so excited to work with you!

A Few Quick Notes

Please bring an extra pair of shoes, as many locations can be muddy or uneven.
I provide a pop-up changing tent for 2-3 hour sessions if needed.

Coe Lake, Berea

This location features lake views, trees, and stone bridges, along with a lakeside gazebo and pergola. There are open green spaces, as well as restrooms, parking, and it is pet friendly.

David Fortier River Park, Olmsted Falls

This location offers dramatic river rapid views, wooded areas, a stone bridge, small pond and a red covered bridge. There is limited parking so arrive early! It is pet friendly but pets must be leashed due to river. Very close to Grand Pacific Junction!

Grand Pacific Junction, Olmsted Falls

This is a Victorian-style village with charming historic architecture, offering a unique backdrop for photos. Very close to David Fortier River Park!

Everett Covered Bridge, Peninsula

This classic historic covered bridge looks great in every season, and has wooded areas and a small trail down to the creek below it.

Mill Stream Park, Valley City

This location offers great photo opportunities next to a stream, along with open fields and some wooded areas. There is a red barn and log cabin, lots of parking for photos with a vehicle, and the area is pet friendly.

Brecksville Reservation, Brecksville

Location 1 includes a black metal bridge, wooded areas, medium prairie grass, a creek and a willow tree. Parking is limited at this location so arrive early!

Location 2 features a white metal bridge, tall prairie grass, a quarry, a stone stairway, and a little yellow train depot. (The stone stairway down to the quarry is very steep so I don’t recommend it for family photographs unless kids are older).

Both locations are a short drive apart.

Allardale Park, Medina

This location features wooded areas, open fields, and walking paths. Restrooms are available and the park is pet friendly.
