Leonardi Photography

Okay let’s take a moment for my drop dead gorgeous daughter. She’s stunning inside and out!

Idk how the f #$k time has flown by so fast but here we are at her junior prom! Doesn’t seem possible. weren’t we prom dress shopping ourselves not that long ago? 🤣

Time is thief! Take all photos 📸✨

One day, these will be the photos they come back to.

The way you held them without thinking.
The way they reached for you like it was second nature.
The version of you they knew as “home.”

And so often—you’re not in the frame.

You’re the one taking the photo.
Waiting until things feel less busy.
Telling yourself you’ll do it another time.

But this is the season.

Not the perfect one.
The real one. The fleeting one.

You don’t need to have everything together to document it.
You just need to decide it matters enough to be remembered.

I’ll guide you through the entire process so you can simply show up, love on your people, and be present in it.

Now booking May–July sessions

Inquire to reserve your date.

✨ BO***IR MODEL CALL ✨

With Mother’s Day coming up, I’ve been thinking a lot about how often we, as women—especially moms—put ourselves last.

This is your reminder… you’re allowed to take up space too.

I’m officially opening a limited number of bo***ir sessions as I expand this experience within Leonardi Photography.

This is not about being a model.
This is not about having a “perfect” body.

This is about seeing yourself differently.

As a mom of 4, I deeply understand how easy it is to lose sight of yourself while taking care of everyone else. This experience is your chance to reconnect with that confidence, that beauty, that version of you that’s still there.

And if you’re a mom—this is your sign to treat yourself. 🤍
(And if you’re not, you are just as welcome in this space.)

I’m looking for a few women who are ready to:
— step outside their comfort zone
— feel confident in their own skin
— be part of something powerful

No experience needed — I guide you through everything.

Selected models receive:
✨ A heavily discounted session
✨ Exclusive image pricing
✨ An experience you’ll never forget

Requirements:
— Must be 21+
— Must be comfortable signing a session contract & model release allowing images to be used on social media and marketing

Spots are very limited and will be filled quickly.

This is your moment.

He brought the camera… but she was always the moment worth capturing.

If you’re craving photos that feel like this… you already know where to find me.✨

One day, this will be the “remember when”…

When life felt like slow evenings and soft kisses.
When nothing was rushed and everything felt simple.

You’ll miss the quiet, ordinary kind of love that made everything feel right the most.

Take the photos.
Hold onto these moments.
Because this version of your story deserves to be remembered.

The Crigers before they said “I do”

Black and white has a way of slowing time… letting you feel every breath, every touch, every moment you swore you’d never forget.

From quiet “getting ready” nerves to the embrace of parents who’ve loved you into this moment—these are the memories you’ll return to again and again.

This is why choosing the right photographer matters. Someone who sees the raw, unposed, in-between moments… and preserves them honestly.

Forever drawn to moments that linger in the heart—delicate, timeless, and true.

Austin + Kaylee | 11.1.25 | Southeast Kansas

The November light poured gently over the fields, wrapping these two in the kind of warmth that only love—and a little Kansas sunshine—can give. 🌾
From the laughter shared with family to quiet glances between them, every part of their day felt intentional, honest, and real.

As someone who was raised in Southeast Kansas, it’s always special getting to photograph love stories right here at home—where every field, sunset, and smile feels familiar.

Now booking 2026 & 2027 weddings and engagements for couples who want their story told with heart. ✨🖤

The rain poured all morning—soft and steady—until the moment they said “I do.” Then, as if on cue, the sun broke through the clouds and filled Big Cedar’s Garden Chapel with golden light.

There’s a certain peace that settles over this hillside chapel—whitewashed walls, vintage lanterns, and sunlit pews surrounded by the quiet beauty of the Ozarks. It’s the kind of place where vows feel extra sacred and the start of forever feels undeniably real.

It’s days like this that remind me why I love what I do—the ones that don’t go perfectly to plan but end up even more beautiful than imagined. Real, raw, and full of meaning.

If you’re planning your 2026 or 2027 wedding and want photos that feel like your day—unposed, emotional, and true to you—I’d love to tell your story.
