THE FACE BEHIND THE LENS

Hey love! It’s a pleasure to meet you. My name is Leanne and I am a wedding/portrait photographer based out in Southern California. I am 28 years old and have been snapping photos since I was in middle school. Whether it be using a flip phone or a point and shoot camera, I’ve always had a fascination for taking pictures of people, places, and FOOD! I started off with a bit of landscape photography and then slowly transitioned into portraits the moment I was gifted my first DSLR as a birthday present from a friend.

I wanted to challenge myself to see if I could take pictures of people outside of my family. So I threw myself onto Instagram and announced that I would be doing free shoots for a whole month to build up my portfolio. Shoutout to my day 1 clients!

Outside of photography, I enjoy listening to crime podcasts, exploring coffee shops, cooking, and traveling to new places.

FUN FACTS:

• I am a huge lover of Ed Sheeran

• Seattle is my favorite city in the world

• I have a toy poodle named Toasty

What does the “Grey Smiles Project” stand for?

Love to me cannot be simply defined as black and white, nor can it be defined by a specific color. The grey layers in between is what sets apart every person’s story and that’s what makes GSP so special. The vision behind Grey Smiles is to share the light within others. To move, touch, and inspire people through art and to watch a person’s confidence grow over time.
