PHOTOGRAPHING HUMAN EMOTION IS THE GREATEST JOY OF MY LIFE.

MY STORY

Austin Wedding photographer Leah Disbennett is sitting cross-legged on a black chair with long wavy brown hair, smiling while holding a professional camera with a large lens on her shoulder, against a plain white background.

I am a photographer based out of Austin, Texas but always ready to meet you where you are.

I got my start in graduation photos back in 2020 shooting at my hometown university in Maryland! From there, my experience has expanded to couples, engagements and weddings, where I have found my love for capturing LOVE!

Now, having moved MADEBYLEE PHOTOS to Austin, TX, this passion has and will continue to take me to new places, experiences, and be met with the kindest souls.

Like YOU!

MY HEART

Photos can be intimidating! I understand.

Here me when I say, my greatest strength in life is creating a space full of comfort and ease. I want you to feel like you are taking photos with a friend. My top priority is making sure you feel at peace and of course: have so much fun.

No stress & no pressure. Just good energy!

“We aren’t models.”

“We are so awkward in front of the camera.”

“We don’t know how to pose.”

PERFECT! YOU ARE HUMAN!

DON’T WORRY, I GOT YOU.

MY APPROACH

COMFORTABLE. ENERGETIC. CREATIVE.

I strive to cultivate a space where you can show up authentically. Comfort is my number one priority. You are in good hands, I promise.

This is truly my passion, so you can imagine my excitement when I get to meet you, create with you, and hype you up the whole time! So know, I WILL bring the energy to your shoot.

I am a creative. My mind gets inspired by your location, your outfits, your personality, your connection. I am the queen of “let’s just try it and see what it looks like.” Soo…

Get ready to have some fun!

MY STYLE

AUTHENTIC. LIVELY. EDITORIAL.

I always want to cater to you; however, I do like to play around with different styles here and there.

I can do both:

- authentic/documentary: Let me document all the genuine laughs, the movement, and the feelings.

- editorial/creative: I want you to feel like you while also feeling like you could cover vogue! Let’s execute a VISION!
