Happy New Year! I am excited to be back this year to serve so many that I have connected with in the years past and to gain new friends along the way as I step back into this world behind the camera!

PM me for details on pricing and availability. I will only be doing weekend sessions, and some weekends will be unavailable due to how much we travel. Keep that in mind and book quickly as weekends will be limited!

Excited for 2023!

Dusts off the keyboard…”Hello? Is this thing on?”🤪

Shew! It’s been a while! 4 years ago, I took a step back and decided to hang up my camera. It was one of the hardest decisions, as I had met so many amazing families and made life long friends during the 10 years that I was working as a photographer. I honestly just got in over my head to the point that I was no longer enjoying it. I would get overwhelmed and frustrated and it just wasn't fair to me or my clients/friends. In these 4 years, I have enjoyed watching my boy grow up(he is 10 now!), I have travelled with my husband and our boy a LOT. It's something we enjoy and love doing together. It has been a wonderful 4 years, but I think it's time to start this journey once again.(And honestly, I am a bit nervous🫣)

So, I have decided to dust off the camera(don't worry, I kept her safe and she's working just like I remember!😉), and I am excited to start offering my services once again! BUT, this time it will be on a much smaller scale.🤏🏼 And if you haven’t noticed, I have rebranded and will no longer be Leathers Photography. Decided to just throw my whole name up in there to change the vibe and start fresh!😂

📸I will only be offering mini sessions and full sessions. 👉🏻I will NOT be doing weddings or events.👈🏻 I have had friends reach out even recently asking for me to photograph their weddings, and while that is such an honor, I just cannot put that much into this if I want to keep loving it. While I did love most of my weddings, it's really where I started to slip away mentally and lost my joy.

So, I do hope you all understand, and I hope you can welcome me back with open arms and ✨grace.✨ So so much grace.🥹 I sure will need it!

Feel free to share this post to let everyone know. I may just give one person who shares a free mini session!🤩

I will post more on the details of when my availability will be, and what my mini/full sessions will include. But for now, I am just excited to say I AM BACK! And I have missed each one of you!❤️
