“It’s hard to make a memory out of a pose” — Leah Tise

While weddings have always been the heart of Leah’s business, documenting families took a little bit more practice before she considered it part of her art.

Leah has always loved being around kids of all ages. There’s few greater rewards than witnessing a child warming up to silly efforts to make them laugh and get them comfortable around you.

But it took a season of observing her nieces and nephews and children of friends to help her to develop her documentary style in front of the camera.

Raw and real. Blurry, motion-filled images. If it’s hard for a child to sit still, then your photo session should involve a lot of action and play.

Curated for you. Working with Leah will be completely customized to you and your family. From choosing the time of day — when your children are most likely to be energized and playful. To the location of your session — allowing you to interact as a family in a way that showcases your life in this season. All the way down to your wardrobe.

Every part of working with Leah is thought out so that you have a successful photoshoot. You’ll realize that success isn’t defined by a perfectly posed image where everyone is smiling at the camera...
