Hi, I’m Leah Dawson—Here to Capture Your Story
Growing up, I would flip through old photo albums filled with moments from my parents’ and grandparents’ weddings and everyday life. Seeing those images made me feel connected to stories I wasn’t there to witness, yet they felt so real—so alive. That feeling of preserving memories, of freezing moments in time for generations to come, is what made me realize photography wasn’t just something I wanted to do—it was something I was meant to do.
My love for photography started long before I ever picked up a camera.
A Little About Me
When I’m not behind the camera, you can usually find me hanging with my favorite people and pups, chasing golden hour light, or road-tripping to explore new places. I thrive in chaos, finding beauty in the unexpected and embracing the energy of every moment.
I’m a deeply nostalgic person who wholeheartedly loves life and feels incredibly grateful for the experiences I get to have. Photography is my way of holding onto those fleeting memories, and I feel so lucky to share that gift by capturing the stories of others, preserving the beauty of their lives just as they are.
I also hold a degree in Social Media Design Management from Northern Michigan University—the best university in the Upper Peninsula, if you ask me! Whether I’m creating, traveling, or simply soaking in the little moments, I pour my heart into everything I do. I can’t wait to document your story in a way that feels true to you!
My Approach: Natural, Authentic, and Intentional

She helps clients feel comfortable in front of the camera, takes care to tailor the shoot to her clients individual interests, and is always thinking of creative ways to capture classic shots.

I cannot recommend Leah enough if you are looking for an empathetic and creative professional in the photography field.
