I photograph high school seniors in a way that feels
relaxed
intentional
and quietly elevated,
with clear direction, beautiful locations, and an experience that feels easy from start to finish.
While I’m based in Vancouver, Washington and serve the Portland Oregon area, my work regularly takes me across the country for families seeking a more distinctive senior portrait experience.
Apply For My Senior Style Sessions
Each season I choose high school sophmore and junior girls to be part of styled shoots that I design. If you've dreamed of being photographed by me, apply to be considered
that make seniors feel confident, comfortable, and seen for who they are.
Maybe it's a favorite place, a personal passion, or simply a setting that fits their energy, I create an environment where seniors can be themselves.
“What sets Leah even further apart from other photographers and makes her truly exceptional, is the way she makes you feel while she is taking your photo..”
Pictures with Leah is an experience all its own. The way she is able to get to know your personality, and draw that out in a session and into a photo is truly where the magic happens. My daughters are very different people, one more outgoing and one more reserved, I watched Leah become exactly what each girl needed in their sessions, it was a different experience, because they are very different girls. I cannot stress enough how much this personalized experience matters in the final product. There is no person, no product in the world I could recommend more than Leah. Her photos are my most treasured possessions and I’m so thankful we captured these moments in such a beautiful way.

“My daughter, Lilly, was so anxious about her senior pictures, what to wear, where to shoot, how to pose, etc. Leah made all of that so easy..”
She encouraged Lilly to send over pictures of outfit ideas if she wasn't sure what to wear and was quick to respond with encouragement and guidance. She listened to what Lilly wanted her pictures to look like and suggested locations based off what Lilly wanted. When it came time for the shoot Leah exuded a feeling of comfort that can only be compared to taking pictures with an exceptionally talented life long friend.I can not recommend her highly enough, I will be booking her for my younger daughter's senior session in 2030!

“As someone who does not always enjoy taking pictures Kate adored Leah’s fun, outgoing and charismatic personality,”
which was also a key factor in making her senior session special. Leah is an incredible photographer who has a gift for capturing seniors as their true and authentic selves. This is why we were originally drawn to her and ultimately chose her to be Kate’s photographer. The bonus was how much she served as a mentor and role model to all the girls on the team by building their confidence and making them feel beautiful.
