LEEANN IS AMAZING! She captured my family beautifully. Seriously, she captured so many sweet moments between me, my husband, and our baby girl. I am so thankful I came across her work.
We started with a phone call to talk about a session, why I wanted to do a shoot, how I felt having pictures taken of myself, where I wanted to take the photos, and who I wanted included. She was super personable and immediately I felt at ease with her. We settled on a 1.5hr shoot with hair and makeup for me. She was excellent with follow up email communication to make sure timing of hair and makeup, start of shoot, directions, etc were ready to go.
LeeAnn came to our home to do a lifestyle shoot in hopes of capturing this ever changing season of our lives. Welcoming a baby into the family changes everything - your relationships, your body, your emotions, your mind, your house, everything. I wanted to remember this time and be sure to be in the frame myself. It's easy to avoid being in the lens when your body is so different now than before baby, especially when your birth didn't go as planned. LeeAnn was so sensitive to this but wonderfully encouraging and supportive.
I felt even more comfortable with LeeAnn in person than I did on the phone. That felt so good to click and feel comfortable with her in my home. She took the time to show me all her printing options so I can feel and see them all in person - setting me up for informed buying decisions at our reveal later.
It was easy to see that LeeAnn takes pride in her work, as an artist, not just by providing a service. She clearly has a passion for capturing the intimacy, emotion, and beauty within a family. She encouraged us to play as we would when no one was watching, to engage our sweet baby and soak up her littleness, her giggle, and her smile. We felt so at ease just enjoying our time as a family. LeeAnn was also phenomenal with our daughter - she could catch her attention, soothe the start of a cry, and illicit some of the sweetest smiles.
LeeAnn has a unique way of revealing the gallery to her clients. She sets aside additional time to phone or video call you to reveal the gallery. She loved hearing my emotions, my excitement, and my admiration for her beautiful work. She provided a pressure free environment for narrowing down my favorites and offered some excellent coaching on the artistic flow when it came to designing my photo book. I had so much fun going through the photos with her! (Had to do a shoutout to all my friends and family about her immediately following the reveal because I was so dang excited!) She also hand delivers your prints to insure their safe delivery. Talk about a photographer who goes above and beyond!
I could go on and on but point is- if you are looking for a photographer to celebrate this stage of your life by capturing these fleeting moments look no further. The days may feel long but the years are short, mama. Capture the moments now to have and to hold. I cannot wait for our next shoot - this was just the beginning of a wonderful relationship.
