Photos should evoke emotion and cherished memories from your lifetime. By taking a more documentary style approach to your session, my unique perspective allows you to walk through your collection in a more lived-in and immersive way.
Lifestyle, couples, motherhood, families, portraits - this is where you want to be!
the experience you've been anticipating
The world moves fast, but this chapter of life you're in moves faster. Documenting your life has becoming increasingly difficult because of it and it's easy to rely solely on your iphone to capture these special moments. While convenient, it doesn't evoke the same nostalgia as a camera. Our childhoods were captured on film, creating lasting memories through authentic, tangible, true to life photography. I want to offer you that same experience by creating imperfect, passionate imagery. The kind that is guaranteed to bring a smile to your future self.

“my favorite style of photography"
"I was fortunate to cross paths with Leah earlier in 2023, and coincidentally, her style was exactly my favorite type of photography. It's raw, genuine, classy, soft, and full of real love.
Our photoshoot together was effortless and enjoyable. I highly recommend Leah."

“these photos are beloved memories"
"There are not enough words to praise the art that Leah creates. I'm someone who has always felt self conscious in photos, but Leah makes you feel comfortable and sometimes you forget she's taking photos.
I always knew Leah would be my wedding photographer, even before I was engaged.
These photos are memories I will cherish the rest of my life and I am so glad my husband and I chose Leah help us represent such an important milestone."
Billy + Sydney
“I am still left speechless
"I find myself looking at my gallery every other day, and I'm still left speechless!
Leah really knows how to capture the magic of the moment and turn the images into a story. Such a talented photographer.
It was a pleasure to have her take my maternity photos, and I hope to work with her again as our family continues to grow."

“her work is
truly
so remarkable"
"Words don't do it justice! Leah truly has such a gift that I am so lucky to have experienced. The overall shoot was incredible for my fiance and I.
She made us feel so comfortable and confident and provided so much direction, which I loved.
The artistry in her work is truly remarkable and she couldn't have executed our vision better."
