Hi, I’m Leilani
When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll most likely find me outside with my family, camping somewhere beautiful, tending to our garden, or enjoying a slow morning with a good cup of coffee. Most of all, I love spending time with my husband and our three babies, soaking up the everyday moments.
About Me
My love for photography began at thirteen, when I first picked up a camera and discovered the magic of preserving a moment in time.
Since then, my work has evolved into a passion for documenting connection. The quiet intimacy between two people, the warmth of a family, and ever-changing seasons of life that seem to pass far too quickly.
Falling in love and creating a family of my own has profoundly shaped the way I photograph. I understand how quickly these moments become memories, and how meaningful it is to have something tangible to return to.
My work is organic, true to color, and timeless. I look for genuine emotion, beautiful light, thoughtful details, and the moments that unfold naturally rather than forcing a story into existence.
I hope that years from now, when you return to your photographs, you don't simply remember how everything looked.
You remember how it felt.

Questions

What if I’m super awkward in front of cameras?
You’re not alone, and you certainly don’t need to know how to pose. My approach is relaxed and intentional, with gentle direction to help you feel comfortable while leaving room for genuine moments to unfold. I’ll guide you through natural movement and flattering poses, offer prompts when needed, and create an atmosphere where you can simply be yourselves. Every couple is different, so I tailor the experience to what makes you feel most at ease.
Do you travel for weddings and sessions outside of Utah?
Absolutely. I love traveling and would be honored to document your story wherever it takes you. Custom travel packages are available throughout the U.S. and internationally.
What is required to book with you?
A signed contract and 50% retainer are required to officially reserve your date. The remaining balance is due by the date of your session or wedding.
Payment plans are also available, and I’m happy to create an option that works best for you.
When should I expect my photos?
Weddings: 6–8 weeks
Engagements & Bridals: 2 weeks
Family & Maternity: 2 weeks
You'll also receive a 48-hour sneak peek following your wedding or elopement, so you won't have to wait long to see a first glimpse of your day.
Do you photoshop my images?
Yes. My editing style is natural, timeless, and true to you. I thoughtfully retouch minor distractions such as blemishes, stains, flyaway hairs, and distracting background elements while preserving the authentic look and feel of each image.
