Why hire a family photographer?

this time with your family and loved ones is so valuable

Photographers invest so much time before AND after your session with them. They take the time to get to know you & to really understand what you're looking for. They look for your vibe & style to add details of you to be captured. They spend hours going through images that fits your family, or session, best.
Photographers are creating art & are in their field because they LOVE IT & there is no better thing than to work with someone who loves what they do! This makes for such a fun & bright experience!

Chloe & Matt

Leah was wonderful and photographed my birthing experience with a calm and quiet presence.
She was extremely helpful and always lended a hand when needed, without even having to be asked.
She was also very respectful of our space and the space of my delivery team.
She managed to be a fly on the wall while still being able to capture some of the most beautiful, emotional, and delicate moments during my labor and delivery.
I am so grateful to have these photos to look back upon and be able to relive.
