Leona Darnell Photography Portrait work for children, families and dance artists First off, welcome. Take some time and look at some of the portraits I have created. Please enjoy.

My business has two distinct sections: (1) contemporary portraits, senior portraits and dance portraits and (2) birth photography. Two very different genres, but both exceedingly fulfilling for me.

🎅✨ Guess what, friends? The Santa Experience is BACK! ✨🎅

I thought last year would be the final sleigh ride… My Santa had moved far, far away (like way beyond the North Pole!). ❄️

But then—holiday magic struck! A brand-new Santa appeared right when I needed him most (no sleigh or chimney required 😉), and I’m so excited to bring the magic back for another year of joy, laughter, and unforgettable moments!

📅 Save the date:
🗓️ Saturday & Sunday, November 1st & 2nd
✨ Just 3 weeks away!

This timing gives me juuust enough room to sprinkle my editing magic so your holiday cards are ready to shine. I might add one extra weekend in mid-December—but fair warning, those sessions will be too late for card season.

🎁 Come share the magic: smiles, giggles, and maybe a few cookie crumbs too! 🍪💫

👉 Head to the website for all the details + a sneak peek at this year’s enchanting new backdrop (spoiler: it’s extra magical 🎄). Pick a time from the calendar and send a message.

Let’s make some holiday memories you’ll cherish forever. ❤️

So this was an unexpected twist in my life! Last year was to be my last year doing The Santa Experience since my Santa had moved far far away (way beyond the North Pole!).
🎅🎅
But as fate would have it, a new Santa miraculously fell into my lap—no sleigh needed, thank you very much! So, guess what? The Santa Experience is officially back for another round of joy and merriment!
🎅🎅
Now, I know what you’re thinking: “Isn’t it a bit early to be talking about Christmas?” Well, yes, it is—but let me tell you, as soon as those little munchkins head back to school, the “ber” months start flying by faster than Santa on Christmas Eve. Before you know it, you’ll be wrapping gifts and prepping for family gatherings while I’m out here trying to capture those magical moments with your kiddos.
🎅🎅
Mark your calendars! The sessions are happening on Saturday and Sunday, November 1st and 2nd. Trust me, this gives me just enough time to sprinkle a little editing magic so you’ll have the perfect photos for your holiday cards. I might even throw in another weekend in mid-December, but be warned—those will be a bit late for holiday cards.
🎅🎅
So, get ready to share some joy, laughter, and maybe even a few cookie crumbs! Check out the website for all the info, and don’t forget to watch the little video showcasing this year’s enchanting backdrop. It’s going to be a ho-ho-whole lot of fun, and you won’t want your family to miss out!🌟🎄

As a photographer herself, Chantelle had a very specific look and feel for her maternity session. This lovely studio is in downtown Los Angeles. This session is complimentary with her birth photography package.
