Chances are, that by your inquiring here, you’re not looking for the typical photo session. Your idea of a great looking photo doesn’t include blue jeans and matching white button downs. Heck, it may not even include everyone looking at the camera. Instead, you realize that your family interactions may be even more telling of your love, and desire something a little different.

Let's give you images that instantly remind you of the tug of your child's hand, their smooth baby skin, gummy smile, or constant movement. I've got the toot jokes and smarties ready.

TO BOOK YOUR SESSION

Leah is the best! We have had our family photos taken by Leah at least 5 times. She’s great and efficient which is the most amazing/important feature to my husband, if he was asked. He loathes taking photos, but she always shows our true happiness as a family or as a couple. Truly!! She must be a magician!! Book her if you have that husband that says, “Family photos again...ugh!

Leah took pictures of our newborn, Margot, this past October. And it is obvious she is a mom! She has a natural, calming way to deal with newborns and toddlers a like! Leah has done 2 shots with our family and will continue to do many more for as long as she'll have us! I love her ability to capture natural positions, personalities and amazing light!

Leah, you've done it again. I don't know how you always manage to capture the most genuine smiles and laughter out of our daughters (aside from the treat bribes!). Your creative backgrounds, settings, lighting and positioning are only some of the dozens of reasons we've been coming back to you for years now. Your positive energy is infectious and your patience with our kids makes the stress of family photos just melt away. Keep doing all that you do!!!

I don’t even have words. Our pictures are so perfect! You made this 1-week post-partum mama feel so at ease and I can’t thank you enough. These pictures of our little man are more precious than I could ever even explain. This is the beginning of our family’s new chapter and I can only imagine how I am going to look back on these photos years from now. You are our favorite and feel so lucky to have found you!!

FAMILY

When we decided to do a family session for our daughter’s first birthday, we knew we had to have Leah. Leah has been there for all of the big moments in our life - engagement, wedding, maternity and newborn - and she is basically now part of the family. The photos we received from her are nothing short of perfect - the clarity and style are beyond words. She has an innate instinct to capture the moments you want most of all, but can’t verbalize - or even dream of actually happening - from our daughter tentatively walking through Mears Park, to digging into a cake, and smiling sweetly for a pregnancy announcement photo. It is going to be next to impossible to decide on which ones go on our wall! Thank you, Leah!

I’m always in awe of Leah’s ability to capture all the emotions in her pictures. This was our second newborn session with her and we couldn’t have been more happy with how our pictures turned out! She excelled through the peak of the chaos that was bringing a baby home to a house with an almost 2 year old who was still adjusting to the new normal. We knew we’d get fabulous individual newborn shots and we were beyond thrilled to walk away with pictures of all of us.

Leah has been documenting every major life event since we got married in 2013 and we’ve LOVED the resulting images we’ve received! We love the way she captures the smiles and energy of our family - and all the antics for our toddlers during the shoots. Plus who doesn’t love all the natural light? We recommend Leah to anyone we know looking for a photographer!
