Extended families
Charlottesville, VA and surrounding areas
My style for capturing extended families is a lot like that of my regular family sessions. We do lots of natural posing and breakdowns for each smaller grouping, cousins, grandparents, siblings, the whole bit.
We also have fun. Keep it natural. Incorporate some fun activities like preparing a meal or opening presents or playing a game. After all, some of the best photos we cherish of our families are those that capture their spirit through the way we connect with them.
That means, yes, grandpa can hold his martini and yes, dogs are family, too.
It probably doesn't happen a lot. It's probably big and loud and messy and hilarious and a little dramatic. But so fun.
When you all get together... it's a big deal.

Extended families
Hi, I'm Leah.
Family photographer, writer, educator.
I’m one of the first to meet your newborn baby, the one who won't judge your clothes baskets and unmade beds, and the one who can capture the way your husband looks at you with a twinkle in his eye after 12 years of marriage. My life's work is about honoring people and telling stories.
I believe art has the power to light up the world in dark places, starting at home.
I'm a mom of 3 who loves mornings and words. I rely heavily on black coffee and a sense of humor.
