tellone family

leah was the perfect vibe for us. low-pressure and great with kids, she is a true artist; turning a very chaotic family shoot into something so beautiful. thank you for capturing our family! we will definitely book again in the future. can't wait to tell my friends to use you for their shoots!

lehmann family

leah has now captured so many special moments and memories for our family and we wouldn’t want any other photographer!! she has managed to capture so much from our sessions with non-cooperative kids and produces the most incredible pictures every time! real life moments and emotions and she always blows us away with her pictures! as a mother, i don’t even stress on the day of the shoot (which says a lot) because i know she’s going to get so many good shots and come back with something wonderful! we love Leah and can’t sing her praises enough!!

leah was everything we could have asked for in a photographer and more. she helped us choose the most beautiful location for our family photos and was absolutely amazing with our kids during the shoot. she made everyone feel comfortable, relaxed, and happy. we received our stunning photos within just a couple of days, and they were beyond what we imagined. i shared my vision with her, and she brought it to life perfectly—and then exceeded it.

johnson family

leah took our family photos and did an absolutely amazing job. from the very beginning, she was so easy to work with—laid back, calm, and genuinely fun to be around. she made the whole experience feel effortless, which is saying a lot with 4 kids involved! our kids actually had fun during the session, and it shows in the photos. they feel natural, joyful, and completely us. the final images turned out beautiful—the kind we’ll treasure for years.
