Welcome friend, and thank you for giving my little corner of the world a few minutes of your time! My job is such an insane privilege, and it's so cool because it's something I truly LOVE to do.

I've been playing with photography for over ten years! I launched LR in 2025 after becoming a stay-at-home-mom to my son, Leo.
When I'm not traipsing through flower fields or chasing sunsets with my clients or climbing in a tree for the perfect shot, you can find me at home, probably bra-less, listening to My Chemical Romance or throwing down in the kitchen. I am a grateful daughter of the Lord, a metalhead, and a blessed Mama.
For whatever reason that you're checking out Leo Rising today, THANK YOU. Supporting small business in a time where things feel uncertain is the coolest thing you could do. I hope that you'll get in touch, and we'll become besties 4ever, and make the most magical memories together!

I hired Leo Rising Photography (Emily) to document my doctoral graduation celebration, and I could not be more grateful. She captured everything that mattered: the joy, the people, the moments I was too present in to fully absorb while they were happening. What struck me most was how she moved through the space with genuine care, making everyone feel at ease while never missing a shot. The result is a set of images that honestly reflects one of the most significant milestones of my life. If you want a photographer who treats your memories with the same seriousness you do, look no further!

I wasn’t sure what to expect as this was the first time we used Leo Rising Photography but I have to say any and all expectations were far exceeded. Emily was communicative and kept us informed every step of the way from the moment we filled out the interest form till gallery delivery. She made the whole photograph process easy and fun. Emily was so patient and amazing with my two toddlers and actually had them engaged and cooperating with smiling and participating in the shoot. The photos turned out beautiful and are our new favorite family photos.

Emily did our engagement photos and I’ve been so in love since I got them back. She captured such beautiful moments and always got my good side! She was a natural at guiding us through, posing us, making the experience so fun and comfortable! The shoot was literally amazing and she got the photos back to me within 2 days!! She is incredible and I’m forever recommending her to everyone!!!

Emily was so wonderful and easy to work with. She really captured our personalities and brought our vision of how we wanted to remember our wedding day to life. Her work was incredible and I will cherish these photos for the rest of my life. Thank you so much for the care and wonder you brought to our day!
