After years of comparing & sharing photography experiences, Preston Hewis & Leah Paugh have decided to combine their unique styles to form East Bank Images, a photography duo serving all of NE Ohio.

Preston W. Hewis is a freelance photographer with fifteen years experience in the field. His freelance credits
include: weddings and commitment ceremonies, Trash the Dress shoots, promotional photography for The Cleveland Shakespeare Festival, sporting events, recitals, family and pet portraits, and head shots. In addition to his freelance work, he was also the location and still photographer for a video production company called Viewpoint Media Group as well as being a videographer and video editor for the company. Further, as a past commercial photographer for Stylin' Trucks, Preston's photos continue to be published in national ads in Truckin' magazine, and featured in Stylin' Trucks quarterly catalogs and on their website. His photos have also been published on the cover of local magazine, Livin' the Life. Preston is also a member of the 125 year old Cleveland Photographic Society where he has entered photos and placed in many of the clubs competitions.

Leah Paugh is a married mother of three active boys and one beautiful little girl who has always had an interest in capturing life "on film". Her own children were her first subjects, and as her home became her gallery, friends took notice of her skill, and she found herself photographing the children and pets of friends and neighbors. That was nearly seven years ago. Since then, her love of a great photo has led her to shoot a wide variety of subjects and events. Leah has photographed private parties, profile shots for a Rolling Pin-Up (Burning River Roller Girls), Maternity shoots, album covers for local musicians, wedding portraits, and promotional photos for The Cleveland Shakespeare Festival. Always interested in participating in the popular & trendy, Leah even offered up her own wedding dress for East Bank Image's first Trash the Dress shoot.
