Read What Others Are Saying: “We love working with Leah! We’ve booked Leah for maternity shoots for both my boys and have continued using her for newborn sessions, 1st year shoots (ask about her grow-with-me package!), family portraits, and will usually book her holiday mini-sessions when they’re offered. She has both outdoor or studio offerings, and can make your vision come true! Or, if you’re like me, she has tons of props & ideas if you’re a little lost on the creative side. She also works with local makeup/hair artists if you don’t want to have think about that (which is especially nice when you’re feeling tired and blah during those final maternity and newborn days!). We’ll continue using Leah as long as we’re lucky enough to be in Santa Barbara!” – Rebecca Dillion
