Boise, Idaho Portrait Photographer for Professional Headshots, Family & Senior Portraits
About The Photographer
Hi, I’m Brenda Leap—the photographer behind Leap Photography, a Boise, Idaho portrait photography studio serving business professionals, families, and high school seniors throughout the Treasure Valley. I specialize in professional headshots, personal branding photography, family portraits, and high school senior photos, creating images that feel natural, polished, and timeless.
Photography Style
I’m often asked to describe my photography style. I would have to say my technique is a hybrid. I mix a little of the classic style portrait posing and lighting with free form, emotionally charged photos. I bring this blended approach into every session I photograph—from professional headshots and branding sessions for Boise-area businesses, to family portraits and high school senior photos. Clients receive a mix of beautifully posed images with a classic feel, along with relaxed, expressive photos that show genuine personality.
Brenda’s Photography Experience
I am also frequently asked how long I’ve been interested in photography. Honestly, I’ve had a camera in my hand for most of my life. I know you see a lot of people saying that… but I truly have.
My journey with photography began at age 10 through a 4-H photography project and eventually led me to earn a B.A. in Photography from Montana State University. Since then, I’ve worked in newspapers, photo labs, magazines, and portrait studios—experience that allows me to confidently guide clients through posing, lighting, and expression, whether they’re camera-shy professionals or energetic high school seniors.
Since receiving my degree, I’ve worked for newspapers, photo labs, magazines, and other portrait photographers. In the end, I found my true photographic passion is portrait photography.
Downtown Boise Photo Studio
Leap Photography has been based in Boise, Idaho since 2004, with a downtown studio serving clients from Meridian, Eagle, Kuna, Nampa, and throughout the Treasure Valley. Over the years, I’ve photographed thousands of individuals, families, and professionals who choose Leap Photography because sessions are easy, relaxed, and efficient—while still delivering professional results.
Whether you’re updating a LinkedIn headshot, planning a family portrait session, creating branding photos for your business, or celebrating a high school senior milestone, my goal is to make the experience comfortable and deliver images you’ll love for years to come.
If you’re looking for a Boise, Idaho portrait photographer who values quality, connection, and timeless imagery, I’d love to work with you. From professional headshots and branding photography to family portraits and senior photos, I believe your images deserve to live in print—not forgotten on a hard drive.
