DESTINATION PHOTOGRAPHER SEARCHING FOR THOSE WHO LOVE ROMANCE, ADVENTURE, AND STORY TELLING

Hi, I am Leah Bardin. Serving all over the United States and beyond, I focus on creating images that go beyond posed, traditional shots. Specializing in couples photography, weddings, and portraits, I bring a moody, candid approach that adds depth and authenticity to every photo. Not only am I here to take photos, I am here to create stories. Stories of real people.  I believe my primary focus is capturing the raw emotion in each moment. I am your wingman, your best friend, and your third wheel. As someone who thinks that everything happens for a reason, I believe my clients are brought to me for reason. I strive for true connection with my clients and friends., which is why I focus primarily on couples, weddings, and portraits. I do, however, love to shoot other types of photography, whether that is street photography, fashion photography, or events.

Born and raised in between Arkansas and Mississippi, I’ve always followed my creative instincts. While many around me were focused on sports, I was drawn to different forms of expression. In 2018, when my parents gifted me my first camera, everything clicked (get it?)— photography became my true calling. My adventurous spirit has taken me from Arkansas to Mississippi, to Seattle, Chicago, Milwaukee, and now El Paso, Texas within a few years (I guess I just can’t sit still, lol). Because of that, I now proudly serve clients everywhere, bringing fresh perspectives and a love for storytelling to each and every shoot.
