Services
Mother of four, wife to the most amazing man I know, and baby photographer in Portland Oregon. I am drawn to the simple things in life: my kids' laughter, a sunny summer afternoon, and calm waves at the beach. Early in life, I was an adventurer. I traveled the world. I hiked mountains and explored trails.
Shopping for outfits, scheduling hair and makeup, picking a location, choosing the best place to print your images. Conveniently located in Tigard, my in-home studio is the perfect, quiet place for a relaxing session. It is filled with soft natural light, creamy wraps and wardrobe options for you and your baby, and a cozy place for you to rest during the session.
We absolutely adore Lelia! My husband and I have been calling her "the baby whisperer" after watching her interact to beautifully with our 2 week old son during our newborn session! She felt like an instant friend and her talent with capturing and interacting with babies is truly incredible! It was the most beautiful experience to have her photograph our newborn!
I currently offer a complete digital collection which includes all the curated images from your session. You will also receive a print release and access to the Cadeau Photography online product store. Because I want to offer each client the very best experience, I only take a limited number of booking each month.
Image collections are purchased separately. For detailed pricing on the collection, our popular Baby Plan and more, please get in touch below. I would also love to take a few minutes to chat on the phone. I can introduce myself and tell you about the portrait experience here at Cadeau Photography. Simply leave your phone number on the form, and a good time to call in the comments, and I will get in touch soon!

Lelia is obviously a talented photographer, but is also an absolute pro to work with throughout her entire process—and a baby whisperer to boot! My husband and I were tempted to book another session just to see how she was able to quiet our little one so quickly. You may find cheaper photographers, but she is worth every penny!

Lelia was absolutely amazing!! I am so in love with how our photos turned out and I can’t thank her enough. She is so good at getting the genuine, non-staged shots which I love. She is great with getting kids to cooperate and the photos are stunning. She was also very patient and accommodating with me rescheduling more than once. I would HIGHLY recommend her.

Lelia did an amazing job with newborn photos for our son! Not only did the photos come out great but she was awesome in working with out <2 week old son and making sure mom and dad we’re prepared for the photos too. I would definitely recommend her photography to others and look forward to working with her again when our family needs to capture some more memories.

Lelia and Cadeau photography are simply amazing! The studio space is beautiful, Lelia also had beauty services available, which as a new mom, was greatly appreciated (it was so nice to get pampered before photos). Lelia was awesome with our little one during her session, she made her and my husband and I very comfortable! Her pictures were stunning and we’ve gotten so many compliments on how beautiful they are. We are excited to have these keepsakes for our baby that are timeless. I highly recommend Cadeau Photography for your family photos!

Lelia is incredible. She is kind, patient, gentle and loving. As a mom herself she was amazing to work with for our newborn photos. She also did amazing accordion photo books for our parents. Her studio was beautiful and I appreciate her passion for neutral colors and varied textures. It makes for stylish yet classic photos.

Lelia was great to work with for both our family and newborn session. She’s great with the kids, doesn’t get ruffled by the craziness that can come with toddlers and babies, and we’ve been surprised both times by what cute photos she got when we thought our kids were making it impossible for her! Thank you, Lelia!

Lelia is a newborn whisperer. She manages to get beautiful shots of even the crankiest of babies. I have worked with her for a number of years and I am still amazed at how skilled and professional she is! She constantly works to stay on top of the latest techniques, and to maintain a style that is natural, airy and fresh.

I recently had maternity photos taken at Cadeau photography. Lelia was very professional and her studio was beautiful. She also had a large assortment of flowing maternity dresses. I brought my 2 year old along and she even had adorable toddler dresses to choose from! I loved the soft lighting in her studio and how directive and efficient she was. I had newborn photos taken elsewhere 2 years ago and the photographer spent tons of time getting backgrounds and lighting set up. I was very impressed that Lelia was ready to start shooting the minute I showed up. There was no waiting around or lengthly
