Master Newborn Photographer

Meet Your PHOTOGRAPHER
Lisa Cory

Photography is all about storytelling—preserving the real, unscripted moments that define us. I focus less on stiff posing and more on capturing genuine smiles, laughter, and the little playful expressions that make your family unique.

I strive to ensure that every client has a positive experience from start to finish. From inquiry to receiving the final product, I make sure you feel taken care of.

 I’m committed to creating images that reflect the beauty & love of your family

Photography has been a passion of mine ever since I picked up my parents’ camera as a kid. But my love for it took off just before becoming a mom. I bought my first professional camera right before our son Adam was born, and once the twins, Grant and Hailey, arrived, photography became my way of capturing the magic of their childhood—and, honestly, keeping myself sane! These days, they’re a little less excited about always being in front of my lens, which is part of what inspired me to start photographing other families.

With extensive training and accreditation as a professional photographer, I am also Newborn Safety Certified through the Accredited Professional Newborn Photographers International (APNPI).

I hold the title of Master Newborn Photographer through the National Association of Professional Child Photographers (NAPCP).

Whether it’s a cozy newborn session, a fun family shoot, or branding images that truly reflect you, I bring both artistry and expertise to every session.

A true Ohio girl at heart, I’m a former O.R. Nurse, a wife to a supportive husband, and a mom to three wonderfully energetic kids. Look around, and feel free to reach out—I’d love to work with you to capture the people and moments you cherish most!
