What they Are saying After Working Together

the client love

Aleah has taken our family photos twice and we are obsessed! Her photos are stunning and she truly captures the personality of our boys! She is so thoughtful and understanding too! We had to take a break to feed the baby and she completely understood because she is a Mama herself. Highly recommend! A sweet, personable, and wonderful photographer! We will continue asking her to capture our family moments for years to come. ❤️
We couldn’t be happier with our experience! Aleah is truly talented and has an incredible eye for capturing the most beautiful moments. From start to finish, she was professional, kind, and made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a skilled photographer!
We had an amazing experience getting my son’s senior pictures taken with The Wandering Storyteller. My son wasn’t thrilled about having pictures taken, but he agreed to for me. Immediately after the session he said - she made that so easy, it wasn’t bad at all. Aleah was kind, quick to respond to communication and super flexible, working around a crazy student athlete schedule. On site, she gave him clear directions and helped him feel at ease and comfortable (and look natural). His pictures are AMAZING! I can’t believe she was able to capture him so perfectly. I am incredibly grateful for photos that I will treasure forever. My highest recommendation for The Wandering Storyteller!
We had a wonderful experience! Communication was great, Aleah was super easy to work with and had good visions, she worked quickly during to shoot to satisfy antsy kids (and husbands), return time on gallery was less than 2 weeks, overall great experience. 10/10 would recommend.

Let’s have a chat

Love isn't built in the grand moments — it’s stitched quietly into the spaces in between. A glance across a crowded room. A hand reaching for another without hesitation. A silent promise spoken without words. Today wasn’t just a ceremony. It was a weaving together of two souls, choosing to be each other's steady place, in a world that is always spinning. 🤍 A beginning marked by tears, laughter, and a thousand tiny, holy moments we almost forget to notice — but never truly lose. (And because no day is complete without a little laughter... peep the last photo for a pick me up 😉)

You may have noticed a shift in my work lately. For a long time, I leaned into a warm, vintage style... it felt comforting, like a soft memory frozen in time. It was a reflection of the season I was in then: tender, nostalgic, full of depth. But as life has grown and changed, so has my art. Lately, my work feels a little more vibrant. Still warm, but with a touch more light. A little more true-to-life. A reflection of a season that feels grounded and full of new beginnings. This shift isn’t about better or worse, it’s about alignment. Creating art in a way that mirrors where I am now. This season feels vibrant. Rooted. Blooming. And I hope that when you see your images, they feel the same way.

Senior sessions should feel like you. This one brought together grit, passion, and a personal story—right on the field where he's spent so much time growing and putting in the work. From the dugout to a sharp blazer and glove in hand, every image reflects both where he's been and where he’s headed. That’s what I love about senior photos—they don’t have to be stiff or overly posed. They can be meaningful, personal, and true to who you are right now. Class of 2025—if you're ready to tell your story, I’m still booking spring senior sessions! Let’s make it yours. #SeniorPhotos #ClassOf2025 #BaseballSenior #SeniorStories #TheWanderingStoryteller #GritAndPassion #SeniorPortraitsWithMeaning

What it is to be a mother… It’s not just about biology. It’s not just about birthing children. It’s about showing up—day after day, in love and in exhaustion. It’s wiping tears (theirs and sometimes your own), packing snacks, remembering appointments, whispering prayers at midnight, and finding strength you didn’t know you had. It’s learning to hold space for tiny hearts, while still making room for your own dreams. It’s guiding, comforting, teaching, and letting go—all at once. It’s bearing witness to growth, to struggle, to joy, and calling it sacred. I’m a mother in the most traditional sense—I carried and birthed two beautiful souls and gained another from marriage. But I’ve learned that motherhood expands far beyond that. It’s in every heart that chooses to nurture, protect, encourage, and love with intention. Biological, adoptive, step, foster, spiritual, chosen—mothers of all kinds make the world softer and stronger. To every woman showing up in the name of love—you are a mother. And the work you do is holy, even when no one sees it. Happy Mother’s Day. You are enough. You are seen. You are cherished.

Why Capturing Baby Showers Matters (More Than You Think) When you think of a baby shower, you might picture balloons, sweet treats, and gifts wrapped with pastel ribbons. But what’s happening beneath all of that is something so much bigger: it’s a gathering of love, hope, and community around a brand-new life that’s about to change everything. And that’s why photographing baby showers isn’t just about snapping pictures of the decorations or the gifts. It’s about capturing something intangible — the waiting, the wonder, the welcoming. It’s the way a mother-to-be smiles as she opens a tiny onesie and realizes just how close she is to holding her child in her arms. It’s the way grandparents beam with pride, friends laugh and cry over memories, and every hug carries the weight of shared history and the hope of what’s to come. It’s the nervous excitement, the quiet prayers, the whispered advice passed down from one generation to the next. Photographing these moments means freezing the emotions you can feel in the room but might not notice in the rush of the day — the teary glances, the steady hands resting on a growing belly, the inside jokes, the silent promises. Because someday, that baby will grow up. And long after the decorations are taken down and the gifts are used or outgrown, the images will remain. Proof of how deeply they were loved before they even took their first breath. Proof that family isn’t just blood—it’s the people who show up to celebrate the unseen, the in-between, the almost here. I approach baby showers the same way I approach every session: with care, with intention, and with the understanding that what’s happening is sacred. I’m not just documenting an event — I’m telling the story of a community preparing to welcome a new life. And that’s a story worth telling beautifully.

Why Capturing Baby Showers Matters (More Than You Think) When you think of a baby shower, you might picture balloons, sweet treats, and gifts wrapped with pastel ribbons. But what’s happening beneath all of that is something so much bigger: it’s a gathering of love, hope, and community around a brand-new life that’s about to change everything. And that’s why photographing baby showers isn’t just about snapping pictures of the decorations or the gifts. It’s about capturing something intangible — the waiting, the wonder, the welcoming. It’s the way a mother-to-be smiles as she opens a tiny onesie and realizes just how close she is to holding her child in her arms. It’s the way grandparents beam with pride, friends laugh and cry over memories, and every hug carries the weight of shared history and the hope of what’s to come. It’s the nervous excitement, the quiet prayers, the whispered advice passed down from one generation to the next. Photographing these moments means freezing the emotions you can feel in the room but might not notice in the rush of the day — the teary glances, the steady hands resting on a growing belly, the inside jokes, the silent promises. Because someday, that baby will grow up. And long after the decorations are taken down and the gifts are used or outgrown, the images will remain. Proof of how deeply they were loved before they even took their first breath. Proof that family isn’t just blood—it’s the people who show up to celebrate the unseen, the in-between, the almost here. I approach baby showers the same way I approach every session: with care, with intention, and with the understanding that what’s happening is sacred. I’m not just documenting an event — I’m telling the story of a community preparing to welcome a new life. And that’s a story worth telling beautifully.
