Hello, I’m Leah

I document pregnancy, birth, motherhood and family life to make sure YOU exist in photographs WITH your children. For you and for your children in years to come.

If you’re looking for natural photography, invite me into your home, and I'll hold space for you to be able to capture meaningful moments of your life right now. Beautiful photos of simple everyday moments you share together will mean everything once they don't happen anymore, and your baby is onto the next stage.

I'm your girl if you'd like art made from your everyday life! I'll give you honest, tender and unposed photos that you will hold close to your heart always.

"Leah fully immerses herself in the experience of capturing your family in photos. She is funny, genuine, warm, caring, patient, calm, generous and it all contributes to disarmingly beautiful photos. She gave us so many ethereal tender moments that I am truly grateful for."
