Akron Family Portrait Photographer

Family portraits that feel like home.

Your family’s story is always evolving - full of laughter, love, and the little moments that matter most. Whether it’s the sweet chaos of toddler giggles, the quiet connections in a warm embrace, or the way your kids look at you when they think no one’s watching, these are the moments worth preserving.

The best family photos aren’t about stiff poses or forced smiles - they’re about capturing the love, personality, and connections that make your family unique.

That’s what I’m here for - to create family portraits that are natural, heartfelt, and filled with the love you’ll always want to remember.

We're a perfect match if:

You want family photos that feel joyful and true to your family.

You believe the best moments aren’t posed - they just happen.

You want a stress-free experience with photos you’ll actually love.

your family portraits should capture more than just faces. They should capture the story of your life, exactly as it is in this moment.

You want to remember this chapter forever...

We had an incredible experience working with Klodt Photography!

Jessica is not only incredibly talented and professional but also patient and kind. 

She always listens to what photos I want and goes above and beyond to capture the perfect shots every time. Her attention to detail is impressive, and she makes the entire process enjoyable and stress-free, even with toddlers! I highly recommend Klodt Photography if you're looking for a professional photographer who truly cares about delivering amazing pictures to you every time!

Words cannot describe how happy we are with our wedding photos.

Jessica is a true artist with her camera and has been nothing but enjoyable to work with!

Our pictures turned out so classically beautiful- my current struggle is having too many favorites that I can't decide which ones to frame! So glad we chose Klodt Photography!!!

The
Process

A seamless experience 

from start to finish.

1. Inquire and Let’s Chat

Tell me about your family - what makes you all you. We’ll plan a session that’s fun, relaxed, and captures the connections that matter most.

2. Personalized Session Planning

I’ll guide you every step of the way, creating a laid-back atmosphere where your family can simply be together.

3. Photos that will make all your friends jealous

Your final gallery will be filled with warm, joyful images - ready to print, share, and enjoy for generations.

FAQ's

Can we bring pets to the session?

Absolutely! Your furry best friend is more than welcome. Pets make your session even more fun and personal!

Can we order prints or albums through you?

Yes! You’ll have the option to purchase beautiful, heirloom-quality prints and other keepsakes directly from your online gallery.

I'm not photogenic… will you help me pose?

Yes! Almost every family tells me this, and trust me, you’ll never feel stiff or awkward.

What location(s) do we use?

I travel all over Northeast Ohio! Once I know the vibe you’re going for - urban, nature, something totally unique - I’ll help you find the perfect spot to match your style. Check out the featured locations below for some inspo!

How long does the session last?

Most sessions last about an hour - just enough time to get a mix of posed and candid moments without anyone feeling rushed (or restless!). If we need a little extra time, don’t worry, I’ll make sure we capture everything we need.

What happens if it rains?

We’ll keep an eye on the forecast, and if it looks like rain, we’ll reschedule for a better day. Your session should be enjoyable, and I want to make sure we have the best conditions to capture your family’s story beautifully.

Can extended family come too?

Yes! If you’d like to include grandparents, cousins, or other extended family members, just let me know ahead of time. Larger family sessions require a little extra planning (and time!), so there will be an additional charge.

Family sessions begin at $350

Your family is always growing and changing, but the love and connection remain constant. Let’s capture the laughter, the little moments, and the in-between magic that makes your family yours.

Packages vary, but all include a mix of digital images and multiple locations - so you can have photos that feel natural, effortless, and true to your family.
