Mark the Moment. Be Seen. Be Celebrated.

Looking for a meaningful way to celebrate a birthday, life transition, or special milestone?

Mark The Moment offers a thoughtful blend of portrait photography and small event facilitation to help you create experiences that feel personal, grounded, and memorable.

Whether you’re planning a milestone birthday, would like to create something special for a coming of age celebration, or gathering loved ones to mark a new chapter, I help you slow down, bring people together, and make space for what matters most. My work combines 25 years as a therapist with a creative eye for capturing real, heartfelt moments.

Is This Right for You?

Want your gathering or photo session to feel intentional, not performative

Are celebrating a life milestone and want it to feel more personal and heartfelt

Are drawn to a gathering that’s simple, warm, and centered on connection

Want photography that captures feeling, not just poses

Value presence over perfection,
and moments that feel real

What I offer …

  • Portrait Photography — relaxed, natural images that reflect the emotion of the moment

  • Milestone Event Planning — for birthdays, send-offs, honoring, life transitions, and more

    • Gentle Facilitation — warm, intuitive hosting that helps people feel comfortable and connected. These are not big productions. They are small simple celebrations that feel like you

  • Combined Packages — photography, planning, and facilitation in one cohesive offering.

How It Works…

  • Start with a conversation — We’ll talk through your ideas, hopes, and vision and determine if I am a good fit for your needs

  • Meet me in my office or on zoom and we will walk through your vision for your event or your portrait shoot or both and create a plan together.

    Design something meaningful — I’ll help with tone, flow, and structure

  • On the day of, I show up for your photo shoot or your event or both. I hold the container so you can show up and be present. I gently lead the group in the planned celebration activities or rituals. I take photos throughout the event. I take portraits of the group and special guests at the end.

  • After the shoot or event you will recieve both digital images and prints. We decide together how you would like to commemorate the event.

Let’s Create Something Together

In a world that moves so fast, we often forget the power of sitting together, listening, and giving thanks.

Mark the Moment participant

I’m Lelah — a therapist, photographer, and Marin County native.
I’ve spent more than two decades supporting people through transitions, and now I bring that calm, grounded presence into celebrations and portrait sessions.

My approach isn’t about staging or scripting — it’s about helping you create a space that reflects who you are and what this moment means to you. Then I help you remember it — not just how it looked, but how it felt.
