who's that girl?

Leesa.
Wine.
Unfiltered.
I am an energetic, loving, fun(ny) gal with an amazing husband named Matt, adorable baby girl named Thea Skye + 2 insane cats named Loki and Lola (yes, she's named after the wine). I never planned on becoming a wedding or boudoir photographer, it just kinda happened. I went to school in hopes to become a forensic photographer. When that wasn't able to happen, I decided to try my own thing, which has lead me to this amazing life! So besides loving wine, coffee + tacos, what else do I love? Well, for starters I collect shot glasses + vintage film cameras. Every city, province, state or country I visit, I make sure to pick up a shot glass for my collection. I can't function without at least a large coffee in the morning + my favourite shows are Grey's Anatomy + Schitt's Creek (hence the contact form sample names - check it if you missed it).
Most importantly, personal or business, my biggest goal is to make everyone feel comfortable. Comfortable with who you are now, where ever you are in your journey we call life! I bring this motto into my boudoir side of business but it applies to all walks of life + to every single human.

TIMES I'VE WATCHED GREY'S ANATOMY
My favourite pass time is wine touring. Shocking right? Matt and I have been to Niagara a bunch of times and every time we hit up new ones. This past time we stopped at Konzelmann Estates and, if you've never been, I highly recommend you check it out! Not only is their Peach Wine and Baco Noir delicious, the grounds are gorgeous and make a perfect backdrop for photos.

BADASS LIFE TO LIVE
I love to travel! I have been lucky enough to travel to a few place in the USA, including Hawaii, as well as Greece, Mexico and Aruba (which is where the love of my life asked me to marry him). One of my business goals is to photograph a wedding in every country. So far, I've got Canada down, but would love to be able to photograph a wedding in each province. #careergoals!
My photographic style can be described as natural, true to life with pops of colour in all the right areas. I try my best to capture you in your element by capturing the silly + wonderful moments of your day. My goal as your photographer is to give you the best experience you can have as well as delivering you beautiful images to cherish for a lifetime.
My clients just want to have a good time + the last thing they want is a photographer who bosses them around telling them what to do. They want someone who can capture their love, laughter + tears all while standing on one foot, balancing on a chair, knee deep in freezing cold lake water, or getting down + dirty in the mud. That, I will do. Whatever it takes to get the perfect shot is what I always say!
If this sounds like you + you don't think I sounds like a total crazy person (or maybe you do + you love it!) then get in touch because I would love to hear from you! I welcome all body types, ethnicities + am a HUGE supporter the LGBTQ+ community. Everyone is welcome + I would love to have you apart of the LWI Family!
