Hi, I am Raven Bender.

I am an award winning photographer from Northwest Ohio.

 I am a dreamer at heart, I love capturing the moments you can't fake or hide, especially when everything else is blocked out except the soft touches, meaningful looks, and memorized smiles. I started photographing things when I was 23, and love the details and unique perspectives the normal eye might not catch without slowing down to look for them. Whatever is snapped through the lens can never fully be recreated, it truly is like stopping time. I was born and raised in Northwest Ohio, and have no plans of moving any where else. I enjoy gazing at the stars and chasing sunsets, and when I’m not photographing Families or out in the metro parks, I am a full time toddler chaser of one spunky little girl.
