“I cannot recommend Leila enough, she sees photo opportunities that others don’t and has a real unique and raw talent which produces stunning results. ”

— Claire Knight

 
 

My Story

I first seriously picked up a camera when my eldest was 6 months old. His mop of blond hair and striking blue eyes begged to be captured. I wasn’t satisfied with phone images. I had this urge to create proper portraits of him, so I dug out our old point and shoot Olympus and spent the next few years documenting and writing about his development and the way he learnt…….

 

My Work

The bulk of my work is deeply personal. It stems from my need to connect with and document my nearest and dearest, combined with a desire to create. You will find my journal filled with words and images that were created purely for me and mine, a snippet of our lives and a glimpse into my inner world. This alone, though, does not sustain me. I truly love to create for others as well…..

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

“Leila is one of those photographers you only meet once. Her natural talent shines through in each and every photo. Her ability to capture the most natural & stunning pictures is second to none. I can’t recommend Leila highly enough. She’s a pure and natural talent.”
