Hi there, my name is Ava Neff. I am the proud owner of Ava Lauren Photography. My full name is Ava Neff with Lauren being my middle name. It is actually pronounced “La-ren”, instead of “Laur-ren”. Along with being a photographer, I enjoy working at my families garden center, boating at Lake Erie, and spending time with my dog River. I am an Ohio Lifestyle Photographer, here to capture your special moments. Photography has always been apart of my life. I received my first camera as a Christmas gift when I was 12. I started out with landscape photography and loved anything to do with clicking the camera button. After a while, I wanted to switch things up and start practicing on my friends. I found the love of capturing emotion through taking photos, which inspired me to switch from landscape to portraits. My first paid photo session was during Christmas of 2020. I did Red Truck Minis which were an absolute hit and why I do them every year. I was amazed by how many people supported my dream and were respectful of my art. I thank those clients who helped create a dream. I have been awarded with Honorable Mention through the International Photographer Awards in 2023. I have also been featured in over 5 magazines.
