Leonna did a tremendous job with our family photos in Ojai on Christmas Day. She was very prompt and accommodating (we had to push our time back due to bad weather and a power outage at our hotel). The pictures came out wonderful and we wouldn’t hesitate to hire her again. If she was closer to us we’d hire her for all our photo engagements. Highly
recommended!

Leonna photographed our wedding. She was so quick at responding and thorough! The photos turned out so beautiful and she even did a highlight video with her drone! I would 10/10 recommend her she’s awesome!

Working with Leonna was such a wonderful experience! She was incredibly kind, patient, and thoughtful; even going out of her way to adjust her schedule just to make time for us. From the moment we met her, she brought such peaceful, positive energy that made the entire session relaxing and fun.
She didn’t just take photos, she created memories. My wife felt so comfortable and confident the whole time, and our puppies absolutely adored her! She made everyone feel special and included, capturing the perfect mix of joy, love, and personality in every shot.
She made my birthday photoshoot unforgettable, full of laughter, smiles, and genuine moments we’ll cherish forever. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for family photos, couples sessions, or even fun pet shoots. She’s truly one of a kind, and we’ll definitely be booking with her again whenever we’re in the Los Angeles or Santa Barbara area! Only sharing a couple photos without full family but you can see the patience and detail of her work!

Easy to work with, communication was fast and smooth, professional, and lovely! What a treat to get not only photos but videos too of our baby’s first birthday and housewarming event. Loved her style and the final products (which we received very promptly after our event). I only wish we had booked more time to shoot with her longer!
Details: Birthday party • 50 - 99 guests • Indoors • Digital or online download

Leonna was the most amazing fit for the type of photography I wanted for a bridal shoot. I am very inexperienced when it comes to photo shoots and Leonna went above and beyond to guide my husband and I through so many poses. She was punctual, responsive, and extremely open to our ideas. I can’t express how in love I am with how the photographs turned out. In addition to the photos, Leonna also worked on a short video with drone footage that turned out incredible.
I can’t recommend her enough. She was easy to work with and had the most amazing energy throughout the entire process.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My pricing depends on the type of session, location, coverage time. I offer packages for portraits, events, weddings, family sessions, and business content. Travel fees may apply for locations outside my regular service area. Every package includes professionally edited, high-resolution images delivered through an online gallery.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I start by discussing the client’s vision, event details, preferred style, location, and expectations. Once we choose the right package, we confirm the date and create a simple plan for the session. During the shoot, I provide guidance with posing and help clients feel comfortable in front of the camera. Afterward, I professionally edit the best images and deliver them through a private online gallery.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have developed my photography skills through hands-on experience, professional practice, and continuous education in lighting, composition, posing, editing, and visual storytelling. I regularly study current photography trends and improve my techniques to provide clients with modern, high-quality images. I do photography for 8 years.
