Wedding collections with a unique storytelling experience
I want you to feel like you’re hanging out with a friend who just happens to have a camera in hand. So let’s skip the awkwardness and start having fun. Because when you’re comfortable, that’s when the real magic happens.
ABQ Photographer
Your Story, Captured with Heart and Humor
We’re capturing more than just pretty photos here! We’re freezing every chaotic, joyful, perfectly imperfect moment that makes YOUR day unforgettable. From the quiet in-between moments to the loud, happy, emotional ones, each image tells a piece of your story exactly as it unfolded.
As an ABQ photographer, my hope is that when you look through these photos, you don’t just see how everything looked, but truly feel how it felt. The nerves, the laughter, the happy tears, and all the love surrounding you. These are the moments that deserve to be remembered, shared, and revisited for years to come.
We'll be besties if...
You love to talk? Girl, me too.
When I was in school, I’d get in trouble for chatting too much — to the point where they’d move me across the room. Didn’t work though, I’d just make new friends.
You’re a little scatterbrained? Same.
I’m the perfect mix of Type A and Type B — super organized when it comes to work, but in a conversation, I’ll absolutely go “squirrel” and jump to a random topic. Blessing and curse, I know.
Regular or Diet Dr Pepper fan?
Self-explanatory. Me = addicted.
You laugh at goofy jokes?
Same. I can’t help it — I grew up with guy best friends, so my humor is… chaotic, in the best way.
And you love honesty and transparency?
Nothing is TMI around here. Promise.
I’m a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to the details (okay, maybe more than a bit). Flyaway hairs during portraits? Fixed. Dress not perfectly fluffed or has a rogue piece of grass? Spotted and handled. Necklace flipped? Already straightened.
If you’re someone who cares about those small details that most people might overlook, I’m your girl. I can’t promise absolute perfection every second, but you can bet I’ll do everything I can to make sure your portraits feel just as beautiful as you look.
Of course, candid moments are a little different — they’re rarely “perfect,” but that’s exactly what makes them magical. They capture the raw emotion and genuine connection between the poses — the real story of your day.
With me, you’ll get both: gentle direction during the portraits and those perfectly imperfect, unscripted moments that make your gallery feel alive.

"Lelia was always prepared and noticed all the little details, ensuring my dress was perfectly fluffed and my hair was in place for the best photos"
From the moment we first started taking photos with Lelia, we knew we’d found our lifelong photographer. Her communication style was quick, easy, honest, and fun, putting us at ease throughout the entire wedding planning process. The quality of her work is truly genuine, beautiful, and heartfelt. Lelia was always prepared and attentive to every little detail, making sure my dress was perfectly fluffed and my hair was in place for each photo. She even lent us her crochet hook to button my dress when we realized we didn’t have one. There’s no one else I would have rather had capture Walker’s and my big day. Lelia was both joyful and professional, and we felt completely comfortable and cared for with her by our side on our hectic but happy wedding day. We’re overjoyed with the stunning photos that so perfectly captured all the love and emotion of our celebration.

I value more than just capturing your raw love and connection, I also value building real friendships with my couples. My goal is that by the end of our time working together, it feels like we could genuinely be friends beyond the wedding day. I love meeting new people and connecting on a deeper level than just “vendor status.”
I’m very straightforward, and I’ll always let you know if something needs a quick fix. I’ll make sure ties are centered, flyaways are tamed, and your dress is perfectly fluffed, all the little things that make your photos look exactly how they’re meant to.
I promise we’ll get plenty of laughs throughout the day. I love joking around and connecting with my couples and the wedding party so everyone has a great time while we’re creating gorgeous photos together. It’s not all business around here! <3
