hi 

i'm leah & i'm glad you're here.

capturing your authentic moments

my approach to photography

My comfort has always been in writing letters. There's something special about pouring your heart out on paper, being as open and honest as you can be, without the immediate gaze of another. Letters are timeless treasures. In my darkest moments, I've found solace in re-reading words from dear friends, reminders of love and support.

Photography, to me, is like writing a letter, but instead of words, I use my camera. Each photo is a candid, heartfelt note, capturing the essence of a moment. My style is bright, joyful, and honest, reflecting the beauty of real moments. Just like a cherished letter, my photographs are snapshots in time, preserving the warmth and love of life's most precious memories.

In my work, I strive to create a connection with you, to make you feel comfortable and seen. Whether it's your wedding day, an engagement, a family gathering, or a personal portrait, I'm here to capture the genuine, unscripted moments. Let's create a collection of 'letters' together that you'll look back on, finding the same comfort and joy as in those words from loved ones.

-love, leah

 my experience 

Embarking on my professional photography journey in 2016, I have captured dozens (maybe hundreds?) of memorable moments for my clients, from intimate weddings to significant business events. In 2023, after years of working for other companies, I finally launched my own photography business (here!). Of course, I also I shoot and edit with some of the highest quality equipment in the business. I don’t want to sound braggy, but you do want to know that your photographer knows what she’s doing!

Oh, one more thing!

this is my assistant, Jill

Jill is my beautiful sister-in-law and she is my assistant for Love, Leah Photography. As a client, you’ll probably hear from her! She handles my scheduling, communication, and bookkeeping. Jill is the best and she’s one of the funniest people you’ll ever meet.
