Choosing the right photographer isn't always about the photos themselves. You want to make sure that the person behind the camera is someone you can trust. Someone you would want to share your secret thrift spot with. Scroll down to see if I could be the perfect fit for you!
I am happy to crack jokes the whole time, help you pose, and shout my praise for you and the gorgeous images we capture. The little in-between moments make for the best photos, and I’m not about forcing awkward prom poses and uncomfortable smiles. I want you to have fun!
If you’ve gotten this far, you’ve probably already seen this face. Just in case, my name is Leanna! I’m a photographer based in Bozeman, but I love taking this one woman show on the road. When I'm shooting, I am a full-time photographer and a part-time hype woman.
What I can promise you as your photographer is to be fully committed to capturing your true laugh and make you feel comfortable in front of the camera. I promise to listen to your concerns and make you feel confident by the end of the shoot. I promise at your senior session we will sing way too loud in the car and do anything to get the best backdrop for your shot. I promise at your wedding I will shed a tear at the daddy daughter dance and dance to every Beyonce song that comes on during your reception. I promise at your engagement session you won’t say “This is awkward” and we can start and end at the bar.
My superpower is being a wingwoman. My catchphrase is “I have to introduce you to…” because I love connecting all the cool people I get to meet.
Artists that are still on my concert bucket list: Adele, Dolly Parton, Hozier.
It’s my dream to dance in the original gazebo from The Sound of Music. In the meantime, I dance in any gazebo I come by.
The best food is found under fairground tents. Michelin star restaurants might be nice now and then, but I’ll take a good corndog, soft pretzel, or fry bread any day.
One of the best little joys of adulthood is receiving a handwritten letter buried amongst your bills. I’ve made it a habit to write letters to friends and family because it’s so personal and heartwarming!
All of my wedding contracts include a stipulation that I will ditch my camera and dance to every Beyonce song that plays. (I love “Single Ladies”, but why isn’t “Love On Top” played at every wedding?)
Someday when I retire I think I'll make a great travel planner for my friends and family. I could spend hours organizing an itinerary and virtually exploring a city.
Please do NOT worry about coming in needing to know how to pose! I got you! I will lead you through everything and tell you where and how to stand. I will pose you and make you feel like the STUNNER you are! I also love to talk with you right before your shoot about if you like your hair a certain way, or certain things about your outfit that makes you a little anxious so I can be on the lookout for it during the shoot.
Everyone is welcome here! All races, religions, countries of origin, sexual orientations, and genders are welcome here! And I never want anyone to feel nervous to ask me to be apart of their big day! I am here to celebrate you!
I want you to have fun! The little in-between moments make for the best photos, and I’m not about forcing awkward prom poses and uncomfortable smiles.
I want the real stuff - the stuff that’ll make you laugh till your cheeks hurt and will make your heart beat faster. I want to photograph the things that make you who you are, and the things that make you unique. I want to give you beautiful images that bring memories flooding back to you when you look back on them.
Travel is another huge passion of mine! From Bozeman to Greece, I’ve photographed all over the globe. I give custom quotes based on the location you’re interested in so reach out and we can chat about pricing for your specific destination.
