Portraits Capture a Moment in Time That's Gone Forever and Hardly Possible to Recreate

Carol Lynn Wagner Photography specializes in lifestyle photography, taking portraits of families, children, couples, high school seniors, and pets.

I'm excited that you are taking some time to visit my page! I live in Lake County, Ohio and serve clients in Lake County, Ohio and the surrounding area. Customer satisfaction is a top priority. I hope to put a smile on every client’s face when they view their portrait collection. I strive to capture the uniqueness and personality of my clients during their photo shoot while having fun . My goal is to showcase a client’s authentic self and produce stunning photos that will record special moments in their life. I am also a part time registered nurse and single mom who raised three beautiful children that mean the world to me! I also have my BSN in Nursing and an AD in Early Childhood Education. Photography is my favorite job by far though! I look forward to working with you!

What is Lifestyle Photography?

Lifestyle Photography is a mixture of authentic and staged interaction. Regardless of the setting, the photos often feel candid, though the photographer

often starts by posing their clients and then letting them be themselves. Lifestyle is more about capturing a moment. It's about photographing emotions

and connection. The photographer doesn't just leave it up to the client to know exactly what to do. I will provide direction throughout your photo session.

"My husband and I had an amazing time working with Carol for our maternity photoshoot! The pictures were absolutely perfect thanks to her creative eye and choice of locations, shots, and skillful editing. She is also an incredibly sweet, kind, and thoughtful person, which made the experience so enjoyable. We felt comfortable and relaxed the entire time 🙂 We can't recommend Carol enough, and can't wait to work with her again in the future!!"

Carol was absolutely amazing to work with! She was very accommodating and made getting photos with babies very easy. She took the extra time to find a great location based off of photo inspiration that was sent to her and went above and beyond to capture so many different photos. The editing she did was beautiful and I’m so happy we chose her to capture these sweet moments with my family! Carol and her photos are amazing - I highly recommend booking with her!

"We have been photographed by Carol multiple times, with a family photo shoot and a birthday photo shoot with my daughter. She is always wonderful, she makes the photo shoot comfortable and natural. She does a great job editing the photos and returning them back to you very quickly. We currently have our family photo shoot displayed on a gallery wall in our living room because we love them so much! We will continue to go to Carol whenever we want amazing family photos!"

Steffani & Chris

"Carol is not only talented but she truly cares about her art. Working with her you are able to see the joy she has while shooting and the joy speaks through her lens. Carol is professional, planning the best spots to really make your photos not only capture your beauty but the beauty of the surrounding area as well. Working with Carol was a great experience from the shoot itself to recovering the photos."

Sarah

Carol has an eye for the most perfect pictures. She knew exactly where to go and brought props for our session which ended up being so cute! She works so well with toddlers as mine was running all over for our maternity pictures and she still captures so many cute pictures! Extremely fast turnaround on the pictures and notified me when they would be completed and even added in some sneak peaks. If you want one of the best, she’s it!

Jocelyn & Greg

"Carol was one of the most thoughtful and dedicated photographers we have ever worked with. She braved the negative temps with us and helped wrangle our dogs to get the perfect baby announcement pictures. You truly would have never known it was a blizzard and that we were all freezing by looking at the pictures we received from her after. She was fast at responding and getting the gallery back to us. I would recommend her for any type of photography because no matter what she will make it her best work!"

Maddie & Jon

"Carol truly has an extraordinary talent to capture life’s precious moments! She has been capturing these moments for my family and me for over 10 years and each time, I am stunned by her work! Her attention to detail, creativity, eye for that perfect shot and compassion "Carol is so easy to work with and fair in her pricing. I highly recommend Carol Lynn Wagner Photography! You will not be disappointed!!!"
