about US...
First things first, my name is David Toerek - you might have guessed, co-owner of David Toerek Photography! I started by casually learning photography in 2013. What started simply as a hobby and interest, has grown into something I did not expect - an exciting opportunity to serve our community as a small business!
With everything involved in getting this whole business idea launched, you may guess it takes a lot of time and energy. That's where I needed some help, and who better to help? Enter the scene, my wife, and co-owner, Hayley! A little history...we met while working in the service industry. Spending over 10+ years within the service industry together, we learned the importance of customer service and providing a 'legendary' experience for our guests. Though now we hold two very different full-time jobs, we are preserving those attributes we learned in the service industry by applying them to your photography experience!
We work together to manage the business. Hayley handles the administrative side of things, such as interacting with you initially, collaborating on poses, props, and really brings the personality and fun to the table! She can also be seen on-site during the sessions to assist with the lighting and posing of the shots. Well...what's left for me to do? I'll be behind the camera taking care of the photography portion of things, from snapping the photos, to editing the final version! Managing the website and social media accounts are also part of my wheelhouse. Much like at home, we are combining our strengths, but this time it allows us to provide you with an experience and product you will appreciate.
We are proud parents of two amazing young boys who keep us on our toes everyday! We enjoy eating out at the best local establishments around the greater Cleveland area...and depending on the time of day, you might catch us with a coffee in our hand, or our favorite local craft brew! We look forward to working with you and providing the pictures and experience that will keep those special memories for years to come!
Thanks for checking us out, we look forward to working with you!

about our services...
SENIOR PICTURES
Senior pictures...they're kind of a big deal! They should capture your personality and portray that through the image. We have a few different packages and options for this occasion. What do we need from you? Bring your musical instrument, sports uniform, props, and personality, and we'll meet you at an outdoor location that maybe holds a special meaning to you, or a place that you just simply like to visit!
