Local Photography in Hickory, NC

I have been working in international magazine publishing for 30 years and my passion is photography. I put photography on the back burner for the last few years but I am now back to booking shoots. Working with magazines has allowed me to develop an eye for photography and I love to create dreamy photographs. Making sure that my clients feel comfortable and relaxed in front of the camera is very important to me and my sessions are centered around body positivity, kindness, and a sense of humor. If I have availability, I will work on a sliding scale with clients who are not able to afford my full rates.

My favorite part of my job is being able to be a sort of documentarian. Capturing not just the important moments, but all the little candid moments from a day. It is my goal to deliver to you a gallery of photos that really embody the spirit and joy of our time together; no matter the occasion. You can check out my Instagram @leozimmerportraits to see more of my portrait and events work. Or to see some of what I shoot in my free time go to @leozimmerphotography
