It’s slow season + you know what that means! Let’s get CREATIVE👏🏼 I don’t know if it’s just me, but my mind just stirs with ideas + things I want to try when I’m not shooting. I itch to get behind the camera. LUCKILY, I met with this super awesome couple who filled my void yesterday with a little “pre-engagement” session. They are already engaged, but have their session booked with me later! Thankful to couples who let me get creative + they just roll with my crazy suggestions. 
This day was actually SO cold, which brings me to the fact that PA is getting SO much snow this year! As someone who lived in PA for most of their life, I have never seen it snow so much. Of course, it does the year we leave🤣 But honestly, I’m ready for warmer days! If you are in one of the states getting hit hard by these snow storms, how are you doing? Is there anything we as small businesses can do to help?! Keeping you all in my thoughts + prayers! 💛 
Happy Valentines from me + mine💛 Wishing you all the love, and self love in the world today! 
Ok so if you know me, I lived in Florida for pretty much all the years that I started driving a car so I am NOT used to driving in snow. It SCARES me🤣 I had this session scheduled with Jessica + Joey several weeks prior, and of course, day of it’s calling for snow right at the time we are supposed to start shooting! So little me in a panic thought about moving the location but OH MAN am I glad we didn’t. Joey had messaged me the night before our shoot saying that he was going to propose + I knew we HAD to make it happen. We started the session with complete visibility of the mountains, and by the time he proposed, we were in a snow globe of dreams come true❄️ I’m so excited for these two + so thankful that they trusted me to capture this special moment in their lives! 💛 Congratulations Jessica + Joey!! 
Hey y’all! It’s been a little while since I’ve shown my face around here, so I figured i’d pop in + say whats up!! Some things about me incase you want to get to know your photog... •I had been to harry potter world twice before, but have only just started watching the movies + I’m obsessssed⚡️ •I go through phases with working out but lately i’ve been on an orange theory kick + going several days a week! seriously feels so good. •John Mayer is my ALL time favorite artist + i’m just crossing my fingers and toes that he tours again after COVID. •I currently still work in Property Management full time- so i’m running two businesses! I’ve been in the industry 5 years. If you need an apartment, i’m your girl🤪 •I probably eat pasta like five times a week + it’s 100% my go to meal. Who is your fave musician?!👇🏼Curious to see your answers!! 
This session felt like coming home. This is the most “me” my work has ever felt. Why? Because i’m finally being true to who I am, + what I’m drawn too. The filmy style has ALWAYS been something I’ve been drawn too, but I never stuck with that because I thought it was the less popular way to edit. I thought people wouldn’t hire me, because not everyone I know was drawn to this look. But ya know what?? This is the style I connect with + the style that makes me feel something! I just know i’ll find my people + couples who connect with it too. SO- this is your PSA. Edit how you like. Take pictures how you like. You will attract your people💛 
Slid around the ice with these two for some beautiful photos!⛸ One thing I’m really trying to focus on with my work is telling a story. I want it to feel like I wasn’t even there, + the photos just seem like I may have followed them along in whatever they were up to! Less posey, more authentic, while still keeping those raw emotions. So if you are a couple who might not love the camera, have me follow you along on a hike, or on a date night + let’s tell your love story in a genuine way! 💛

FUN FACT: It’s time to share a secret. Leah Dee Photo is just a shortened version of my real name😲 Before I was Leah Dee Photo, I had always called myself “Leah Marie Photography” which is after my first + middle name! This time around, when I was ready to take my business seriously, I decided that Leah Marie was used a ton already! I needed something to set me apart. So Leah Dee it was! “Dee” is based off of my last name which is actually “De Tommaso” 🤪 Any idea where a last name like that comes from?! Leave your guesses in the comments👇🏼 
‘Day dreaming of your kisses’🥰 I FINALLY was able to shoot another session + it seriously filled my soul. 2021 is the year of leveling up skills, and the couples experience! I’m so grateful for K+J for allowing me to try my hand at so many new techniques i’ve been wanting to work on. We tried in-camera double exposures, some prism stuff + blurred motion. So excited to use these techniques in the future + level the heck up! 💛
