Wow, what an amazing time I had at the convention in Waterloo. I have learned so much more to better my business and I can't wait to get started. I'm also excited about some new products I have discovered to bring to you all, so be on the look out soon.
Here are some images I took while out at the convention. In our free time a lot of the photographers would get together and take images of each other, it was a blast.

Hello from Waterloo

Hello everyone! Sorry I have not posted much recently. Right now I am in Waterloo, Iowa attending a pProPhotogs Photography convention. I am having a great time meeting and learning from photographers from all over the United States and Canada. I'm looking forward to bringing back all I have learned to share with you all, to make our images even better, and your experience with Leah Simmers Photography, the best!

Up in the sky...

Today our family headed out to the air show. WHAT A BLAST! This made for such a great family day. The kiddos had a blast getting in the helicopters and watching the show. I of course had a blast taking images. Here are some images I thought I would share from our day.

Heads Up

Starting in April, rates will be going up. As of now my prices are too low for me to make a living. I love what I do and I love where it is taking me, I would love even more if this can be a job I can do not just for side cash but for me to make a living doing it, for me to add to provinding for my family, and for a future studio for my business.

There will be new collections offered too. In these collections I will have layouts to show you how you can use the collections to put them in your home (galleries for staircases, above couches, on ledges, vertical down a wall, etc). Some collections will also carry the popular gallery wrap canvas' and storyboards.

After returning from the photography convention at the end of this month I will soon after post the new rates.

If you have already booked a future session the rates posted now will still apply to you.

A few from a Dec. wedding

Here's a few from a wedding I did in December for my brother in law and now sister in law. Ok, I don't do weddings but was asked so I put myself out there and did. Here are a few from that day, I'm saving my favorite though for a competition coming up.

Looking For That Unique Gift

Here are some amazing hand crafted photo boxes from Sugar Boo Designs. These boxes are made entirely from real wood. THe boxes are 20" x 20" square y 2" deep and they hold a 4" x 4" photo in the center.
Below are just a few examples. There are many more quotes to choose from and a wide assortment of colors too. These are a true piece of art to hang in your home.
Plan ahead though, these items are hand done when ordered and turnaround times vary from 4-6 weeks at time. For an additional $25 they can be rushed to arrive within 3 weeks.

So I was digging around on my computer and found these two images from February, thought I'd share.

Check out these cuties

I was plaing with my little men in the backyard today. I am so excited I can get a "real" smile out of my oldest lately, instead of the big ol phoney one. I even was lucky enough to get my youngest to sit for two seconds. Honestly though he had just fallen over and thought it was funny and laughed where he landed ( I quickly snapped the image)
