Light Leak Pictures captures unforgettable photos and videos for national, local, and personal brands.

 
We’ve always loved light leaks, the unpredictable and totally enchanting burns of light from traditional filmmaking. They capture exactly what we love to do for our clients—create experiences that are unique, unexpected, and touched with magic.
— Emily & Tim

Mum is the word.

The secret of a great shooting experience

Here’s something you probably wouldn’t know about us (even if you asked).

We’ve filmed high-profile celebrities. We’re the go-to lifestyle photographer for several national brands. Some of our headshots have made headlines. Our clients trust us because we keep the integrity of the shot (and our cool) no matter who is in front of the camera.

...which is why...

You won’t find a ton of logos and client profiles on our website. While we’re insanely proud of our partnerships, our low profile is on purpose. We’ve grown steadily by reputation and referral—and we want to keep it that way. We’d much rather focus on you!

 
 
 
[Emily and Tim] are consummate pros with styling, photography, and video—AND they always take care to translate and enhance your vision. They make life better!

The magic in working with this intuitive team is their ability to capture meaningful stories and then amplify their essence. The creative process is collaborative and conversational, and brings out a better product than anticipated.
