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 Lauren. 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 figured out the love of capturing emotion through photography which inspired me to switch from landscape to portraits.
I am based out of Circleville, Ohio and serve Central and Southern Ohio. My travel areas with limited fees include the Port Clinton area as I also consider it home.

"I've loved watching your work evolve this year and your work is as good if not better than some of the super seasoned photographers here. We always look forward to getting to have you take our photos when we are back in Ohio. We will for sure continue to have you do our photos as long as you're around and if timing works out with our visits."

"We had a guest from WV at our wedding. She has followed your page and the postmark page. She called me tonight and was raving about your photos. About how wonderful you did and how all the photos look flawless. And she's not the only one. Everyone who has seen any of them has been in awe of them. You truly did such a wonderful job and I couldn't be more proud of you! Our wedding day would not have been captured the way we wanted without Ava Lauren Photography."
