LEAH RIFE PHOTO

PHOTOGRAPHY SHOULDN'T BE EITHER.

The human experience isn't one-size-fits-all.

welcome!

Hey you, I'm so glad you're here! Whether you've come here because you're planning a wedding, celebrating a milestone, looking for fun family photos, or some rad headshots, I'm pumped to give you a little peek into what I'm all about. I live in Indianapolis and serve clients all over Indiana and beyond. My goal is to make you feel comfortable and have fun, and get those rad photos that tell your story well.

I've spent a lot of time working with the most amazing clients, and I've learned over and over that your rad story matters.

Not what I think matters.
Not what anyone else thinks matters.
What YOU want matters.

You deserve the kind of photos that will make you so happy and reflect exactly who you are, your story, and what you're about.

And I promise you this: we'll have so much fun along the way!

I'm Leah!

HI THERE,

You know how couples want stunning wedding images,
but they don't want to feel posed and forced into a look?
Well that's where I come in.

And family sessions - you know how parents literally just want some nice photos of their bunch without the stress?
Yep, that's where I come in too.

Listen, the human experience isn’t one-size-fits-all, and I believe photography shouldn’t be either. You deserve rad images in locations that reflect who you are and your own amazing story, and someone photographing you well who knows what you want and in a way that helps you feel comfortable to be yourself.
Oh, and you should have FUN too!

This is where I come in, friend.

My images are natural, vibrant, and relaxed, and the way I photograph is the same. I work to make it a fun experience where you end up with photos that are exactly what you were hoping for, without any stress, without feeling forced.

Tell me, what do you want out of your photos? How do you want to feel as you look at the photographs of some of the most important parts of your day?

Get to know me a little bit more, friend!

natural.
vibrant. relaxed.

Ok, pretend we're sitting across from each other and we're having a drink or coffee. I want you to have amazing photos, but I also want us to work really well together! Heck, maybe even become friends! I pour all of my heart into my work, and the people I photograph tend to be the kind of people I get along with super great with in real life.

I'm a wife, a mama, a business owner, so I understand a lot of different perspectives about life and bring it all to the table when I work. I know what it's like to have wedding photos that I continue to treasure. I get how it is trying to wrangle two wild and precious boys during our own family photo shoots, and I know what it's like to get in front of the camera for rad headshots and sometimes even I think "what the heck do I do with my hands!" I'm relatable and real, and that meshes really well into my work.

The Office is my forever favorite show, I'm always down for tacos, iced coffee makes me happy and tequila shots go well with life celebrations in my book. The best vacations I've had consisted of sitting beachside with my loved ones, a drink in hand, and a good book. At the end of the day, a well-savored life is what I want.

I can't wait to get to know you more, and I'm so glad you're here! Feel free to explore around and check out my work!
