Nestled on a five‑acre 1800s farmhouse property in Derry, New Hampshire,
my private home studio offers a beautiful setting for timeless portraits.
Whether you envision a classic studio portrait, an outdoor session on the studio grounds, or a custom portrait experience at a meaningful location,
Wherever you choose, my goal is simple: to create images that feel genuine, meaningful, and uniquely yours.
Welcome to my studio.
I am so very happy you’re here!!
My relationship with photography began when I was about 10. We had moved into an old house high on a hill tucked into woods. Surrounded by trees, rocky ledges, wild blueberry bushes, ferns, moss, and unforgettable sunset views.
Those early days taught me to pay attention. I watched how wind transformed leaves into shimmering surfaces, how shadows softened the edges of familiar places, how each sunset was different than the one before it. Photography became my way of holding onto these moments — a way to preserve the feeling of a sky on fire, a single snowflake, a beautiful wildflower or an afternoon spent with someone I loved.
I started with an old point‑and‑shoot camera and bought my own rolls of film. It was always such a fun surprise to open the envelope—sometimes weeks later—and finally see the developed pictures. There were images I had forgotten I’d taken. Nothing was instant back then, and somehow the waiting made it all feel sweeter.
Today, my work is rooted in that same sense of wonder. I photograph to remember, but also to invite others into the beauty and magic I felt growing up. Each image is an attempt to capture not just what I see, but what moved me to look in the first place.
For over 2 decades, I’ve worked as a professional photographer and photo artist, blending my love of nature, color, and light with my passion for people and storytelling. What matters most to me is creating photographs that feel personal — portraits that honor connection, celebrate milestones, make you feel beautiful and preserve the fleeting moments that define a life.
I am deeply grateful for the relationships I build through my work. I’ve watched families grow, returning year after year, from maternity sessions to toddlers, seniors, engagements, weddings and every milestone in between. Photography allows me to witness and preserve these chapters for you, and it remains the greatest joy of my creative life.
Warmly,
Leanne
