SE WISCONSIN PHOTOGRAPHER SEARCHING FOR THOSE WHO LOVE ROMANCE, ADVENTURE, AND STORY TELLING
Hi, I am Leah Bardin. Serving Kenosha, Wisconsin and everywhere from Milwaukee to Chicago, I focus on creating images that go beyond posed, traditional shots. Specializing in couples photography, weddings, and portraits, I bring a moody, candid approach that adds depth and authenticity to every photo. Not only am I here to take photos, I am here to create stories. Stories of real people. I believe my primary focus is capturing the raw emotion in each moment. I am your wingman, your best friend, and your third wheel. As someone who thinks that everything happens for a reason, I believe my clients are brought to me for reason. I strive for true connection with my clients and friends., which is why I focus primarily on couples, weddings, and portraits. I do, however, love to shoot other types of photography, whether that is street photography, fashion photography, or events.
Born and raised in Mississippi, I’ve always followed my creative instincts. While many around me were focused on sports, I was drawn to different forms of expression. In 2018, when my parents gifted me my first camera, everything clicked. Photography became my true calling, and I’ve been capturing stories through my lens ever since. In 2024, I decided to make the move to Kenosha, Wisconsin- bringing my love for photography with me.
Not only am I here to take photos, I am here to create stories. Stories of real people that show their fairytale. I do not want those cliché “stand here, please” and “smile” type photos. I believe my primary focus is capturing the beauty and raw emotion captured in each moment. I am your wingman, your best friend, and your third wheel. As someone who thinks that everything happens for a reason, I believe my clients are brought to me for reason. I strive for true connection with my clients and friends.
