I'm Andrea, the photographer behind Chapelo Photography.

I'm an internationally award-winning and nationally published portrait photographer based in historic downtown Lebanon, Ohio, serving clients throughout Cincinnati and Dayton.

My path into professional photography began after serving in the USAF when I used my GI Bill to turn a longtime passion into a career. Since then, I've continued investing in education and refining my craft because I believe my clients deserve both beautiful photography and an exceptional experience.

I hold both the Master of Photography and Photographic Craftsman degrees from Professional Photographers of America and have received recognition including Silver Photographer of the Year and Bronze Photographer of the Year honors.

But credentials aren't what matter most when you're standing in front of my camera.

My goal is to make you feel comfortable, confident and completely taken care of. I'll help with everything from clothing and location choices to posing and selecting the finished photographs that will become part of your home.

I believe photographs deserve to exist beyond a screen. They become part of our history—something we can hold, display and eventually pass down.

And yes, when I'm not behind the camera, there is a very good chance you'll find me enjoying a nice glass of wine and planning my next adventure with friends, or reading a good book.
