After years of pursuing a career in medicine, my soul was dying as an OR nurse. In an attempt to offset my heaviness, Casey bought me a camera. This opened a world of possibilities and creativity.

Casey and I define the saying “opposites attract”. Where I have helped him become more driven, he regularly challenges me to expand creatively. Our ten years of marriage have been met with peaks and valleys. Each moment has lead us right here and to our little Birdie, who lights up the world.

Needless to say, we don’t shy away from real life. We choose to feel it, see it, and honor it all. The vision of Love, Leon is driven by a desire to collaborate with real people. To be with those who agree that life is sacred no matter the season. We cannot wait to become fast friends and enjoy many laughs along the way, while capturing this moment in time.

Our journey here

Something has become clear to Casey and I: as Krauter Photography, we needed to change our name. No offense to our strong, German last name, but it has proven to be difficult to say, spell, find, and doesn’t speak much to our mission. We wanted to better communicate our heart behind our business and connect with those who share our excitement for life, sense of adventure, and attention to creating beauty in everything around us.

In the process of changing our business name I was prompted to think of words that were meaningful to me, as well as key words that describe our business. Words like intentional, uplifting, adventurous, organic, intimate, peaceful, and natural made this list. These words, while accurate, didn’t feel quite right. There was something missing, still. However, the word, “Leon” my late grandfather’s name, came to mind effortlessly, like it was meant to be.

Love, Leon focuses on the legacy of my late grandfather, the love letters to our couples, and the ones they write to each other. Please read our latest blog for the story behind Love, Leon. You’ll find this is much deeper than beautiful photography.

"Love, Leon was the second major decision Richard and I made for the wedding. As soon as I saw one of their photographs I felt something inside I had never felt before. And I knew that feeling was what I wanted for our wedding. The images are more than just a photo – they tell a story of true love. So delicate but so strong. They capture a feeling, not just a moment in time."

“I’m so happy that Lauren and Casey could meet us on our honeymoon because getting to shoot with them in Glacier National Park was truly one of the best days of our trip! Not only are Lauren and Casey extremely talented, but they also made us feel like we were old friends. It’s easy to see how passionate they are about their work and how much they value genuine human connection. We got so lucky finding Lauren and Casey and couldn’t be happier with their style and that they captured how fun our honeymoon was. We are really looking forward to shooting in Yosemite with them for our anniversary!”
