Feel seen and heard with imagery that captures the essence of you. From quirky family portraits, to triumphant senior sessions, and even bold branding photos — we seek out your defining characteristics then celebrate them with photography that is as intriguing as the story you have to tell. Serving clients in and around the Indiana and Michigan border.
Together we’ll create a collection of art that honestly represents the core of your story. For up to two hours, we’ll capture you authentically and with personalized guidance — all in the setting that feels right for you: our dedicated studio or a location of your choosing. Plus, you’ll get a $500 print credit included with your session, so you can choose your favorites and show them off too.
Introducing the Westley Leon Studio — the home-base for tons of magical happenings and vibrant creations. For an effortlessly polished look, step into our dedicated studio with professional sets, backdrops, and even changing rooms so you can show off all your best looks. In the heart of downtown Niles (just a short drive from South Bend!), we’ve created an inviting atmosphere that you can lean into for a unique feel to your imagery.
When you want just a little bit more umph to your senior photos, couples session, family portraits, or branding imagery — we can also create personalized short-form content. Showcase your authentic self and preserve the energy of the moment, too. This can be anything from our signature “Senior Feature” interview to capture your personality in the moment, or a romantic retelling of your love story through interview-style video. Tailored to the memories and moments you want to remember best.
Portraits with flair are right this way, but first, let’s chat about what you have in mind. Get in touch so we can schedule the best time for a quick call. We’ll answer questions, laugh a lot, and take the time to make sure the vibrancy of your moments can be captured with all their true charms. An emailed proposal, contract, and payment will follow.
Our secret sauce for helping your personality shine through in the images? A personal touch. From guidance on outfits to location recommendations (whether you prefer in-studio, or on-location) and then tailored posing during the session, you’ll feel like a natural. (To note: our style avoids over-done posing and focuses on the moments that’ll look organic.)
As for seeing the photos themselves? We’ll show you the images just after your session so you can choose your favorites. Your selections will be shared digitally and as a matted print, or you can use your print credit to show off your selections with beautiful wall art or albums!
With us, you’ll live in the moment, but with the final photographs, you can easily soak up memories from the years that pass by. (If you need wall art, please ask us about our lifetime warranty!)
We include a $500 print credit in your session which covers printed and edited photos of your choice! This means that you get to select the final photographs that will be professionally edited with Masterwork Retouching and then shared. And yep, you’ll receive digital and physical 8x10 matted print. For any other products you want, we make it easy to purchase those (wall art, albums, etc.) Or if you so choose, that $500 print credit can go towards another print instead of the matted 8x10 prints.
In the studio (located in downtown Niles) or at the location of your choice! Think outside the box, but stick to what matches your style. Perhaps it’s a cozy, light-filled room in your own home, a stunning outdoor setting across town, or maybe even your family’s favorite vacation spot at the beach.
Typically 1-3 months in advance is perfect so you have enough time to plan, and so that we have enough time on our schedule to give you our top-notch quality of work. (But hey, you never know when a spot might open up, so be sure to check with us for the latest availability!)
A quick phone call, completed proposal, signed contract, and session fee will do the trick! Of course, we’ll need to have the date and location picked out ahead of time for planning purposes.
(Cheesey, we know. But trust us, it’s true)
