My favorite Christmas gifts weren’t clothes, a Wii, or a new Barbie—they were disposable cameras.
Hi, I’m Lela (pronounced Lee-luh). I’m a filmmaker who’s deeply in love with 8mm film and digital content creation. Raised between the misty forests of Washington, sunny Long Beach, and the quiet charm of Missoula, I finally put down roots in Arizona in 2022 with my high school sweetheart. We just celebrated ten beautiful years together.
I believe life is made of fleeting, beautiful moments, and I feel incredibly lucky to preserve them for others. Whether it’s weddings, family milestones, or everyday magic, I’m here to document the stories that matter most.
Becoming a mom to our son Cooper (born January 1, 2026—yes, the coolest birthday ever) has made this work even more personal. Watching time fly by with him reminded me just how precious every chapter is. That’s my why.
I’d love to hear your story and create something timeless for you.

PILATES & A Dirty Dr. Pepper has been my absolute kryptonite. If you don’t know what that is it’s a Dr Pepper, with lime juice and coconut cream. The Pilates pretty much cancels out my obsession with them. (at least I hope)

I could name quite a few, but above all is my husband. Ive never met anyone so caring, patient, hardworking, and selfless. Seriously. He is my rock and inspires me to be my absolute best. He has always believed in me, and has supported me in any way he can. He’s who’s funding this business venture of mine :) He is who I inspire to be more alike.

I enjoy spending some time In the city seeing and doing things, but my heart belongs in the middle of almost nowhere with pine trees surrounding me. I like the privacy and quietness, the thought of having a garden and tons of animals makes me happy. I love wildlife, and being outside.
