Welcome to L. Severson Photography | Carmel
Hi, I’m Leah, your friendly photographer in Carmel. I’m so happy you’re here! My love for photography started when I had my own babies—I just couldn’t stop snapping pictures of their tiny fingers, sweet little faces, and all those moments I knew I’d want to hold onto forever. That love grew into a passion for helping other families preserve their most special memories, and for over 20 years, I’ve been doing just that for families in Carmel, Indianapolis, Westfield, and beyond.
Whether you’re celebrating a new addition to your family with Indianapolis maternity photographer or newborn portraits, capturing milestones with senior pictures, or looking to treat yourself with a boudoir session, I’m here to help make your vision come to life. I specialize in creating photos filled with heart and authenticity, all while keeping the process fun and easy. Let’s make some magic together!
What Kind of Photoshoot Do You Need?
Preserve the Photos You Already Have
I’ve spent 25 years helping families create new memories. Now I want to help you protect the ones you already have.
Your printed photos are fading. They’re at risk from fire, flood, and time. And in most families, one person holds the only copies of photos that belong to everyone. My photo scanning service digitizes your printed photos to high-resolution files — preserved forever, backed up in the cloud, and shareable with every member of your family.
Your photos never leave Carmel

KIND WORDS ABOUT MY CARMEL PHOTOGRAPHY
Meet Carmel Photographer Leah Severson
Hello and welcome! I’m glad you’re here! My photography clients are like family to me, so I feel like it’s only fair to get a little personal with you.
I married Todd, an Iowa boy, more than 30 years ago, and after all these years he’s still the person whose company I most enjoy. We have two daughters, Emma & Lindsay, who are grown and graduated and my most successful endeavor so far. Lindsay is a human resources specialist who lives in Michigan, and Emma is an industrial engineer enjoying the mountains in Colorado.
