Hey... It's me Leah. Glad you are here.
Motherhood and Milestone Photographer
I’m a small-town girl from Parker, AZ. Now 39, living the dream in East Mesa with my wonderful spouse and our energetic little boy, who’s the light of my life (and the reason I run on coffee). Life’s a little wild, a lot loud, and filled with love, and I wouldn’t trade it for anything.
My love for photography goes deeper than just snapping pretty pictures. When I was young, our house burned down. One of the few things that survived was an old popcorn tin filled with family and baby photos. Those images became treasures, reminders of who we were, even when everything else was gone. That experience taught me how powerful photos really are.
Years later, after taking my own maternity photos, I discovered my passion and haven’t looked back since. Photography has given me a creative outlet, a way to tap into my artistic side, and most importantly, a way to freeze time for others.
I believe in capturing life as it really is...honest, joyful, a little chaotic. Because when the social media scroll is long gone, it’s those real, tangible memories we hold onto. I’m so thankful I get to do this, and I can’t wait to help you tell your story.
Parenthood is filled with irreplaceable moments that can slip away with time. I’m here to help you capture and keep them vivid.
Frequently asked questions
Are the travel expenses included in your packages or covered additionally?
Travel within 30 miles of zip code 85212 is included in all packages. For locations beyond that, a standard mileage rate will apply. If you're planning a shoot outside the local area, just let me know and I’ll provide a custom travel quote!
When will I receive my photos, and how will they be delivered?
You'll receive a sneak peek and a selection album within 24 to 72 hours after your session. Once you've chosen your favorite images, just send me a quick text to let me know—then I’ll begin the final edits. The full gallery will be ready within 2–3 weeks after your selections have been made, and you'll receive everything in a private, downloadable online gallery.
How does your editing process work?
After our session, I carefully review all the photos to remove duplicates and any unusable shots—like those that are blurry, out of focus, or where eyes are closed. Next, I apply a light, consistent base edit to all the good images; think of this as the starting point or “base filter” for my editing process.
From there, I select your sneak peek images and fully retouch them—adjusting light, color, and making final enhancements to bring out the best in each photo. Once that’s done, I upload both the sneak peeks and your full selection gallery to an online platform where you can create a favorites list and leave me notes for any specific edits you'd like.
I don’t charge extra for editing, but I kindly ask that you avoid major body or face alterations. The goal is to highlight the beautiful, natural you! Also, if you’d prefer not to have watches, glasses, or other accessories in your photos, please remove them before our session.
What is your cancellation and reschedule policy?
I understand that life happens! Here's how cancellations and reschedules are handled:
Cancellation: If you need to cancel, please let me know as soon as possible. The $250 deposit is non-refundable. Any other payments made toward the remaining balance will be refunded, minus a 25% cancellation fee.
Rescheduling: You can reschedule your session with no fee as long as you give at least 4 weeks' notice via email or text. Your deposit will be applied to your new date (based on my availability).
Multiple Reschedules: A 10% rescheduling fee applies starting with your second reschedule, and again for each reschedule after that.
Weather & Emergencies: There’s no fee to reschedule due to weather or unavoidable emergencies (at my discretion).
Late Arrivals: If you're more than 15 minutes late, that time will be deducted from your session.
For sessions 30 minutes or less, arriving more than 15 minutes late is considered a no-show, and the session will be treated as a cancellation.
If you’re more than 10 minutes late without notifying me, it also counts as a cancellation.
