My approach prioritizes creating relaxed, joyful sessions that highlight genuine emotions, whether through maternity portraits, family gatherings, weddings, or real estate projects. With extensive experience in diverse settingsfrom intimate home sessions to large-scale eventsI combine technical expertise with a personalized touch to deliver images that resonate deeply.Located in Sacramento's Tahoe Park area, my studio offers a welcoming environment designed for comfort and creativity, featuring curated props, backdrops, and wall art displays.

Leo is an amazing photographer with a decade or more of experience. He did such wonderful work with us for our newborn photoshoot and I was really impressed with how well he was able to keep our little one calm too. He is so good with babies - and has tons of experience with these kinds of shoots! This was the first professional photoshoot I've ever scheduled and I now more deeply appreciate all that goes into it. From picking out props and wraps, to the different poses and slight adjustments to how you pose, to all the other work that goes into getting a great shot. One of the things I appreciate

I have used Leonard at I Just Love My Photos on numerous occasions for family portraits, graduation, Daughters Prom and a few other events. He has an amazing ability to capture unique and intimate moments for the families that he photographs. His prices have always been fair and he is nothing but professional. I cherish all the photos of memories that he has captured of my family. I would highly recommend him and I will be using his services again in the future as my family continues to grow.

Leonard does such a great job, even with my difficult family who rarely does as they are asked. He made the family pictures a fun experience and they turned out amazing. Thank you for the memories.

We've used Leo multiple times: newborn photos, kid photos, family photos, grandma and kid photos, indoors, outdoors. Our most recent experience was a literal walk in the park. We had planned to shoot at home, but after Leo came to our house he advised we'd have a better background at a nearby park, and I'm so glad for it. He did magic to get our camera shy 2 year old to open up during the shoot. Just look at these shots. They speak for themselves! We get great photos every year with Leo and will continue to do so. I highly recommend and just hope that his future success still allows for such personalized

Leo photographed my twin niece and nephew for their first Halloween. It was a fantastic experience, and my sister and I loved the photos. He had the background we requested specifically. I was so impressed at his talent and ability to work with both babies at the same time. If he could handle two, he can handle your one. Leo was very professional and got the photos back to us in a timely manner.
