Hi, I'm

leanna

your new favorite third wheel!

Ever find yourself wishing your BFF was a photographer 'cause that's "the only way" you'd be able to get those effortlessly candid captures of your love story?! That's where I come in! Say hello to your new favorite third wheel! My hope is that we'll get to know each other to be forever friends in the process. My mission is to help you put YOUR love story on display for the world with the memories we capture together — and have an amazing time in the process!  

I started with the goal of filming love stories for the big screen, until the day I turned my focus to the incredible love stories all around me...

and never looked back.

photographer & educator.

love notes

"leanna captured the most genuine & magical moments between us, and we felt so at ease around our new found friend!

I truly don't know where to begin to describe my gratitude for Leanna! Fate led me to Leanna's Instagram page a couple months before my wedding, and I immediately could see she would be able to capture my vision for my day. We immediately clicked in what felt like an instantaneous friendship! During the planning process, Leanna was so helpful, always there to offer her input and guide me along the way. I really felt like she read my mind half the time, knowing what I would need that day ahead of time and helping in any way she could. She was really invested in my day as much as I was! Now to the photos — MY GOODNESS!!! We still melt over the photos that are now framed in our home. I often get told when people see them "you look like the cover of a magazine!" I attribute this ALL to Leanna. She was everything I could have ever asked for in a photographer. I feel so lucky to have found her, and even more lucky to now count her as a friend."

i live for the brides who don't mind getting their dress a little dirty, if it means getting to explore a beautiful place together.
