Welcome!
I'm Leila, and I am so happy you're here!
I believe how you spend your life is the legacy you leave behind. It is my hope to capture the big and small moments, knowing that they are of equal importance. I want to create heirlooms that can be treasured for generations to come.
I grew up on a berry farm just outside of Columbia, Missouri, where my parents also raised Labrador Retrievers. I graduated from the University of Missouri, before moving to Overland Park, Kansas in 2015, just me and my adorable dog, Fenn. It was here that I fell in love with my husband, Dane, and decided to put down roots. In 2021 we welcomed our first son, Emmett, into the world. He is our greatest pride. All of my mornings begin with coffee, and a little bit of sunshine if the lord allows. I will do anything to be in nature, whether it's a forest or a beach, they both call my name. I love baking, home renovation shows, and grilled cheese is my comfort food. Obsessed with dogs, flowers, and Joanna Gaines.

They grow up so fast, things are always evolving and changing. How often do we find ourselves saying, "I can't believe it's already been a year" or "where has the time gone?". We are always wishing for time to stand still so we don't miss it. Setting aside time to document these seasons of our lives allows us to do just that.
