hello & welcome
I’M MISSY, THE FACE BEHIND THE CAMERA AT LARK AND LEAF PORTRAITS.
I’m a natural light photographer specializing in maternity, newborn and family portraiture. I provide a full-service portrait experience from start to finish. I love to be involved and helpful during the planning process of your portrait day…from location scouting, wardrobe choosing, meeting you and your little ones prior to the time that we will spend together, I love ensuring you will look and feel your best and most comfortable on picture day. I enjoy getting your kids to show their true personalities during our session and capturing both candid and prompted shots. My photographic style is often described as pure, timeless & organic and I love documenting the authentic interactions within a family.
As a mom myself I know how quickly our lives change each year and how our kids seemingly grow up overnight. There is so much value in documenting moments that we will never get back. Creating photographs that families will cherish forever is the best part of my work.
I provide an exceptional experience from initial inquiry to photo day and beyond that includes all the details. All clients are provided full family access to my client wardrobe, hair and make-up add on, portrait day prep and advice. Album, print and framing recommendations and assistance, including artwork install in your home!

Aside from my own children I’d have to say young families. Especially those in the trenches, in the thick of it, the chaotic years when the kids are young!
