What’s included in the session fee?

The session fee covers my creative direction, expertise, time, and the careful editing of your images. Every package also includes a private online gallery with high-resolution digital files to view, share, and select from. For family portraits, you’ll receive your digital images ready to print and share. Many families also choose to add professional-quality prints, albums, or wall art — and I’ll guide you through those options once you see your gallery. For branding and professional portraits, collections include a set number of images along with light retouching for a polished, professional finish. If you have specific needs for your session, please reach out — I’m happy to create a collection that’s the perfect fit.

How do you approach branding sessions or professional portraits?

For professionals and businesses, my approach centers on creating polished yet approachable images that genuinely reflect your brand. I utilize clean, flattering lighting and natural direction to emphasize your confidence and personality. I excel at quickly putting you at ease and guiding you toward authentic expressions. Whether you need a single headshot or a comprehensive branding session with multiple looks and settings, my goal is to deliver images you’ll be proud to showcase across your website, social media, and marketing materials.

Whats your approach durning a family session?

At Leah Lee Murphy Photography, my goal is to create portraits filled with beautiful light, natural expressions, and genuine connection. For families, I focus on capturing happy, vibrant, and fun expressions that truly reflect your personalities — not stiff, posed smiles.

This expertise allows me to bring out the best in my subjects while creating a relaxed, enjoyable experience that translates into timeless images you’ll cherish for years to come. Whether you're looking for professional branding portraits or heartfelt family photos, I am dedicated to capturing moments that are as authentic as they are beautiful.

Can I use my images for my business or brand?

Many of my clients are professionals, creatives, and entrepreneurs seeking images that are both polished and authentic. Branding sessions include a commercial usage license, allowing you to utilize your portraits across your website, social media platforms, and marketing materials. Should you have any specific commercial requirements, I will ensure that all your needs are comprehensively addressed.

When and how will I receive my images?

The terms for image delivery will be clearly outlined in your contract prior to the photoshoot. Delivery timelines may vary on a case-by-case basis, depending on your specific requirements and deadlines. Typically, you can expect to receive a thoughtfully edited online gallery within approximately 2 to 3 weeks. If necessary, alternate delivery schedules can be accommodated based on the scope of the project and your individual needs. Once available, you will have the ability to download high-resolution images for personal or business use, easily share them, and order professional-quality prints and products directly through your secure online gallery.

Where do sessions take place?

I enjoy working in spaces with beautiful natural light, whether outdoors in a scenic location, in your home, or at your business. I will recommend locations that align with your vision and am happy to incorporate meaningful places that are important to you. Additionally, I can set up a studio in your office to create consistent, professional headshots.
