I’ve known this family since my age was a one digit number! I went to elementary school with Tawny, and when I was first started experimenting with photography, I used her and her husband Billy for maternity shoot practice! I can’t believe the little baby that was in her belly is such a beautiful, young, little […]

When I started doing photography with the idea of actually being able to have it as a job and make somewhat of a living off of it (around 3 years ago) … I decided to make decisions based off of what was best for me as a person and not necessarily what was best for […]

For someone who lives in the desert… I rarely shoot in it. This isn’t because I don’t like the desert… actually, yes, that is why. Haha. Well, I like the desert just fine, but if I had to choose between a shoot in the desert and a shoot in nature filled with life (as in […]

Amber and I started talking over Facebook and bonded through photography! She attended Master’s Commission, the discipleship program I was a part of for two years, and that’s how we had mutual friends and found each other! She is a photographer in California and does beautiful work, I’ve loved having the opportunity to chat with […]

I first met Rose during my summer in Portland last year and I’m so happy that I did! Last summer we did a session at The Pittock Mansion with some adorable outfits of hers for her fashion blog, The Haute Looks! It is still one of my favorite sessions to date! We’ve kept in touch […]

I feel like Janelle is basically the spokesmodel for Leah Hope Photography… if there was such a thing as that? Haha. I’ve taken photos of this girl SO many times because she is so gorgeous, natural in front of the camera and because we happen to always have an amazingly, fun time together too! :) […]

A little over a year ago I took photos of this boy in his mom’s belly, then a few months after that I took newborn photos of him and last month I got to take photos of him celebrating becoming a 1 year old!! Siah is such a sweet and content baby who belongs to […]

Oh my goodness, this girl! I absolutely LOVE shooting with her! She is #hairgoals (I’ve never said that before until just now… haha), she is gorgeous and her fashion is always on point! And just look at her, she’s clearly a JOY to be around! During this shoot, she just kept reminding me of so […]

I hope everyone has a friendship with someone like the one I have with Casey! The type of friendship where the conversation just flows effortlessly… and you can also laugh with them about absolutely nothing… but still have those incredibly, gentle moments where your eyes well up with tears…and somehow can still feel completely comfortable […]

I first came in contact with this family when I took engagement photos for Kaylee and Geoff last year around this same time! Bree and Erik also came along on the engagement shoot, and the 5 of us has the best time exploring our shoot location and getting to know each other! Not too long […]
