Hello and welcome!

I'm Leia, the girl behind the lens at House of Faven, and I’m so glad that you are here!

I am a senior photographer based in the Southern Pines area, and I love nothing more than documenting and preserving priceless and passing memories through portraiture.

“Photography” means “drawing with light” and, like all photographers, I have developed a passion for chasing and capturing light. I believe that good portraits require beautiful ambient light, but that great portraits capture an authentic inner light.

The kind of light that searches for soul and significance.

The kind of light that pauses time to stand guard over moments, milestones and memories.

And the kind of light that tells YOUR one and only bold, bright and beautiful story.

Every portrait is a collaboration between the subject and the photographer, and I am so beyond grateful that you would choose to partner with me in stewarding the memories of this milestone year. It is an honor to be trusted with something so incredibly priceless and precious.

Shine on!

Leia
