Who is Hindy Leitner?

Welcome to my corner of the photography world, where I do things a little differently. I'm passionate about capturing the raw, unfiltered moments of family life through my lens. I specialize in documentary family sessions.

Why documentary family photography, you ask? It's simple. Kids are hilariously absurd, and there's an undeniable beauty in the mundane routines of family life. I've found a profound appreciation for the love and care that parents pour into every moment of their children's lives.

Whether it's brushing teeth, cooking dinner, or reading bedtime stories, I'm on a mission to ensure that kids know just how loved they are. As a teacher, I've had the privilege of witnessing the unique perspectives of children, and let me tell you, they never fail to bring a smile to my face. They have this incredible knack for finding joy in the simplest of things – like putting objects in other objects!

But it's not just about the kids. Moms, listen up. I want you to know what badasses you are. The way you juggle a million things at once, the way you pour your heart and soul into nurturing your family – it doesn't go unnoticed. You're doing an amazing job, and I'm here to capture your strength, your love, and your unwavering badassery in every frame.

My journey into photography began with a desire to show the world as I see it – authentic, unfiltered, and brimming with love. I believe in allowing children to be themselves, capturing their genuine expressions and personalities without ever resorting to asking them to "smile for the camera." After all, what kind of memories would that create?

Now, for some fun facts about me: I'm a lover of improv and psychology, always fascinated by the complexities of human behavior. Growing up as the 5th child in a family of 8 kids in Brooklyn, NY, to an orthodox Hasidic family, some may call me the black sheep, but I see myself as a rainbow who can get along with anyone. I live for hanging out with my friends, soaking up the sunny weather since I moved to LA. Also, I'm a Pisces – swimming through life with creativity and empathy.

So, if you're looking for timeless photographs that capture the true essence of your family – the laughter, the chaos, and above all, the love – you've come to the right place. Let's create memories together that will be cherished for generations to come.

Thank you for stopping by, and I can't wait to connect with you and your family.
