Albuquerque Wedding Photographer
Your Calm-in-the-chaos
I was born in Utah but grew up as a military kid. Moving often allowed me to soak up different places and people along the way, which brings me to where I am now: an Albuquerque Wedding Photographer!
Truthfully, I’ve never been the loudest person in the room, but something about being behind the camera flips a switch in me. It gives me the freedom to connect in a way that feels natural, and I absolutely love it.
I love photography because it gives me the chance to connect with people and hear their stories. For me, it’s all about preserving memories. Those little pieces of life that deserve to be captured and passed down forever.
I'm Lelia!

My photography journey started a few years ago with a borrowed camera and a backyard photo session with my cousins. From the moment I captured that perfect shot, I was hooked. I’ve always been drawn to creativity, and photography quickly became the outlet where I felt most at home.
In 2024, I stepped fully into weddings and I never looked back. With the guidance of an amazing mentor and hands-on experience alongside several talented photographers, I dove deep into the rhythm and flow of a wedding day. Since then, I’ve had the privilege of capturing love stories while working with incredible couples and vendors, and each one has taught me something new.
My Story
My husband and I are high school sweethearts, and we got married in November of 2022. Since then, we’ve adopted two pups! Ellie and Hudson are both Lab-Catahoula hybrids. They are the cutest things in the world—but they definitely have tons of energy. We can't wait to move into a house with a big yard!
In our downtime, you can usually find us chilling with Netflix, hanging out with friends, or going out to eat. We’re big foodies!
My Family
Their names are Ellie and Hudson!

I believe the best photos come from real moments—honest emotion, natural connection, and the kind of joy you don’t have to pose for. My style is timeless, soft, and true to life, with a focus on capturing your day just as it felt.
You can expect a mix of beautifully composed portraits and candid, in-between moments that tell the full story. I’ll gently guide you when needed, but I’m also there to step back and let things unfold naturally. My goal is to make you feel comfortable, relaxed, and like yourself—because that’s when the magic happens.
Whether it’s golden hour portraits, emotional vows, or your people dancing their hearts out, I’m there to document it all with care, intention, and a little bit of fun along the way. If you’re looking for classic, heartfelt imagery with a personal touch—I’d be honored to tell your story.

I’d love to be just a stay-at-home wifey, but honestly, I’m a busybody at heart. I enjoy working (just not the typical 9-to-5 grind) and I want to be in charge of my schedule. I love planning my days exactly how I want them to go.
The one challenge? Finding the motivation to go to bed at a reasonable time because I’m always on the go and finding one more thing to do before bed.
So, will I still say yes to an early morning sunrise session even when my schedule is packed? Absolutely.
