About Artist

Leah Barad

I’m Leah, a mom to two sweet, wiggly boys in the Seattle suburbs. I’ve had a camera in my hands for as long as I can remember. Over the years, I worked in school photography, ran a studio, second‑shot weddings, built my own business, and mentored fellow photographers. My work found its deepest meaning when my own children were born, and I began capturing the small, unfolding moments of their lives.
