Hello there. I'm Angel McElhaney. I'm a photographer in the Cincinnati, OH area.

I'm on a mission to find out what you love and help preserve it through photos. I use photography as my creative outlet and, due to this, I take on a variety of projects both for my business and personally. In looking back I have found the most growth in my newborn and wedding photography over the years, although I tend to enjoy it all. I believe this growth is because these are times in our lives that we acknowledge the value of our moments and realize just how powerful and significant the art of photography is.

No matter the shoot every shoot will start with me asking what you love because, afterall, that's what you treasure.

Presently, photos have served an even greater treasure for me as I've become a mother, lost those that I love and have begun to acknowledge just how fleeting time is. I now strive to get in the picture even when I'm post gym and disgusting or have been up all night editing. I now do family photos every year without "waiting until I lose 20 pounds." I've learned that I want photos of the people that I love and I want them to have photos of me for when I'm gone.

“Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving.
What you have caught on camera is captured forever...
it remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything.”

Some personal projects of mine include the Tiny Miracle Project which gets photos to families with life-threatening illnesses and Little Blessings Birth Stories chronicoling those very first moments when blessings are born.
