Great Baby Photography in Dayton Ohio
Baby photography is one of the most fun things we do around here at Cleary Creative Photography. Photographing children is something that we have done for many years and the children seem to respond well. We give each family an hour photography session and that is especially important with children and babies. Sometimes the children are great in the beginning of the session and sometimes they need a few minutes to get warmed up to a new environment.
When you go to a franchise photography studio it’s all about the numbers. Each person gets 10 minutes and if your child is happy in those 10 minutes then good luck. If your child doesn’t respond in those 10 minute then your out of luck. We have a great track record with the babies we photograph. This is the third baby we have photographed for this family. We have a first year baby program where we photograph the children at one month. Three months when they are holding their heads up. Six months when they are sitting up. Nine months when they are standing up and one year old. We put these photographs into one of our custom art baby panels, ready to hang on your wall.

Dayton Originals
The City of Dayton has a program where they highlight people, organizations and companies who they think make Dayton a better place. It’s called Dayton Originals. I received a call a couple months ago that I was nominated and approved by the City Commissioners. My studio is only the second photographer to be included. I received my poster in the mail last week and I’m on the web site so I guess it’s real. I am very honored. Go to http://daytonoriginals.org/2015/03/18/dan-cleary/ if you want to see my page.
Location Business Headshot
I did a nice photo job for Jason Hoadley of StarWash Mobile Auto Detailing. www.StarWashdetailing.com He wanted a nice professional headshot of himself for his business. He was originally thinking a studio photograph but I said because of what he does, details cars, the photograph should be of him in front of a house and/or with his mobile detailing vehicle. (His Truck) So we went out on a nice February day, it was at least 18 degrees, and did a series of photographs. He’s planning ahead for spring when everyone will want nice clean cars. He was thrilled with how well the photographs turned out. So if you want professional head shots, either in the studio or out at your business call me 937-298-6776. I have been helping people with their professional image with business portraits here in the Miami Valley, Dayton, Ohio for many years. I can help you with your next project whether it’s one person or a 100 person law firm.
