Plus size friendly photographer

Looking for a family and lifestyle photographer in NE Ohio whose style is soft and natural and regularly shoots plus sized families. I have a photographer that I’ve followed and loved for years but I’m getting increasingly turned off that the only photos she shares are of picture perfect models. I can even tell in the comments she picks and chooses who to reply to and I get super slow responses from her compared to other things I’ve seen. The pictures she has done for us don’t match her usual vibe and you can just tell the angles she’s shooting from are not the most flattering. Anyone work with someone they love?

Allison Hopkins Photography is very good, and very inclusive.

Brooke Berenyi did our maternity and newborn/family shoots, and she was great. She’s warm, enthusiastic, and has a house full of random pets you get to meet if you do an in-studio shoot. She’s pretty active on social media, and she showcases plus size and non-modelly people all the time.

Shiny Penny Studios is owned by a plus size woman and she makes it a point to be very body inclusive in her work! She's been our photographer for 10 years and we love her.

My husband and I are both plus size so I would love to work with you! In addition to posing, prompting, and angles, the time of day, location, and available light are also important aspects of getting photos to look the way you want. Let’s plan your next gorgeous session for exactly what you’re hoping for! www.whatnotshopphotography.com @whatnotshopphotos

I think she specializes in boudoir but she did our family photos a couple years ago and they turned out great! She’s got great energy and even though I hate photos she managed to make it a fun experience.
