Hi there! I'm Leah :)
I’ve been taking photos for over the past 7 years and have learned so much along the way, no only about photography but also what I am passionate about. I specialize in photographing couples, micro-weddings and adventurous elopements in SoCal and across the coast.

My husband and I 100% recommend Leah! She took our proposal, engagement & wedding pics. She’s easy to work with, creative, timely, organized, kind-hearted, witty, made us feel less camera shy, communicative, trustworthy, talented etc. There is not enough that we can say about her! Book her to capture your special moments and you won’t regret it! We’re excited to cherish these beautifully captured memories for years to come. More...

Wedding 6/22/2019 By far, our best decision of the wedding… aside from getting married! Leah is so easy to work with and was willing to go above and beyond for us! We chose one of her packages listed online for 9 hours but we had already done our engagement photos. She was willing to substitute this with another option. We ended up with an assistant photographer and they worked so well together! We had a great first “interview” with Leah who came very prepared and asked lots of questions to get to know us! She included detailed notes that only proved to us that she knows her stuff!! Leah was researching photo ideas from the beginning and she even came with to several of our venue meetings to check out the property and get more ideas/practice. Leah was easy to correspond with timely responses and lots of excitement! She kept our day running but with a light and casual feeling! She found some amazing shots we wouldn’t have thought of and was able to cover both portraits and candids. We were Leah’s FIRST lead wedding and we could have asked for more! We have several sneak peek photos back and I am bawling over all of them! Simply AMAZING! More...

Leah is an amazing photographer. She is extremely talented and knows how to get a great shot every time. The day of our shoot she arrived with tons of ideas and made everything so easy. We also have two dogs who are usually somewhat rowdy, and she was able to get some great photos of them with us too. I highly recommend booking her! More...

Leah recently took my daughter's 6 month old pictures, and they turned out absolutely beautiful! She not only captured beautiful photos of my little girl, but she was able to capture the love my husband and I have for her! I highly recommend!

Leah did a wonderful job with my daughter’s graduation photos. She also does a great job capturing special family moments when we don’t even know she is taking the photo. Very creative and thoughtful.

Wedding Photography
The day you've been dreaming of for a LONG time. I want you to be able to experience all of it with the ease of knowing I will be there every step of the way capturing it all! Those tiny, in-between moments photographed add up to tell the whole story of how you and your partner got married. Your photographs are more than just photos, they are part of your legacy. I take this to heart when I photograph my couples — you are more than just another wedding couple that I get the honor to photograph, you are my friends, the ones that I truly and deeply care about.

Being able to read your private vows to your person who you are spending your forever is such an intimate moment that should just experienced by you two. I'll help you scout locations and plan the vision you have for your wedding, one that's focused on just you two and the future you have together.
