Cheap Eats, Not Cheap People

I love shooting for the Willamette Week Cheap Eats Guide every year. Perhaps because it is so in line with my sensibilities. Those who know me, know I have a reputation for being a bit....thrifty (I find that word has a bit more dignity than cheap). And here I have a whole guide that says, "Hey Leah, it's ok you drink pabst. We get you." Some of the tasty highlights include Boke Bowl, Baowry, Helser's, the mini-food world that is Ocean and the new, but very popular kid on the block, Bar Dobre. Plus, I got to shoot the cover, which I always love. Can't beat that poppy yellow background (also known as poster board). Thanks to Lela's Bistro for providing the local and the slurpable noodles.

Got asked to photograph writer @laurawheatmanhill for a story she wrote for @insiderbusiness on the importance of a prenup (spoiler alert, it’s important). The editor requested something a little more creative that showed the tricky side of balancing money. We took that as an opportunity to play and Laura was game to drape and languish. Can’t help but laugh every time we look at these. And isn’t that the goal whenever you think of a prenup?

Had the absolute pleasure of photographing the gracious, tough and beautiful Walio Mohamed for @newlinesmagazine. In 2017 she was the target of a hate crime on the MAX train in Portland, OR. The attack left two dead, another injured and the city in shock. But Walio was largely written out of the story. Five years later she is finally speaking out.

Recently did a portrait shoot for Edward Anthony, a recording artist and actor who is putting out an album titled “Them” featuring a collection of duets with his former self before he transitioned. We feel pretty honored to be part of Edward’s next chapter.

@esquire reached out to use some images we had of the amazing @chuckpalahniuk for a profile about him and his 26th(!) book. Link in our bio. He was a very good sport about indulging us with our lights and colors and well, the screaming. Tyler Durden for ever. #tylerdurden #fightclub #makeportraits

A few months ago I got the awesome job of photographing the #womensfinalfour for @nytimes at the @sportsbrapdx the first all women’s sports bar in the country. All I can say is… about damn time. As a result I’m doing a collab with artist @methenorth and prints taken my moi of her awesome Cystal net are now available in a limited run!
