My husband, Rob, and I make up Vis Photography. We love living life together, and we love working together too! I do all the talking, and he's my quiet secret weapon. We're so blessed to be able to create art, meet wonderful people, and capture those "stop and smell the roses" kind of moments.
I really do think that the art of photography is a lot about stopping to smell the roses. Life is so busy and chaotic sometimes that it takes the stillness of a photo to remind us what's worth stopping for. Even a wedding day can fly by before the bride and groom realizes the beauty of what they just experienced. It's the photo of that first glance or embarrassing moment that can reveal the eternal significance hiding behind the fleeting seconds.
Rob and I met in the third grade and have been inseparable since the ninth grade - you can ask him about the mysterious gap in years. We were married the day before I graduated from college. Since then we've enjoyed and tolerated many adventures, discovered our love for photography, had two sweet babies, opened our hearts wider to the world, and we are blessed to continue living day after precious day.
We can't wait to meet you and share a bit of life with you! -- Love Leah Vis
Palm Springs has become our favorite place to get away. We never thought much of it until last year when we photographed a wedding at the Ace Hotel and Moorten Botanical Garden. Ever since then we’ve been curious about this charming city. We’ve been able to go twice in the last few months, and here are some pieces that caught our eye.

I’m so proud of these little flowers. They’re the newest addition to my house, and I can’t stop looking at them. I dried Statice and Craspedia flowers, and they look almost exactly like they do fresh! Thanks so much to Stephanie of Sweet Pea Floral Creations for your guidance with the flowers. And, also make sure you look at the last picture which includes an awesome painting by Lindy Pardee.

You all know her well. She’s been to the last 40 weeks worth of photo shoots and weddings. She was responsible for the lovely big belly, and now she’s in my arms. Let me introduce to you our precious baby daughter, Roni Victoria. Her name means “My song, my joy, my victory,” and we pray that over her life. She was born at 2:29 am on April 17 – 8 lbs. 3 oz. 20.5 in. Today she’s 8 days old, and we love her so much already. With her in these photos are her proud big brother, Abel, and me, the adoring mommy.
Lately, I’ve had too many photoshoots to keep up with on this blog. So, they’re coming late, but I promise they’re coming. Until then, here’s a cool shot that I ran across when editing Adrianne and Paul’s wedding.
Amazing! Can’t wait to see the rest!!
Precious, just precious.
