Behind the Camera

Hi, my name is Leilani!


I'm the owner of Soaring Roots Photography, based in the beautiful Mena, Arkansas area. My passion for photography started when I was a young teenager, and progressed from phone pictures to my first camera, which my lovely grandmother bought for me as a graduation gift. I come from a big, warm family that loves the outdoors and loves to have a good time, and that has influenced how I approach my picture-taking; I love capturing big smiles, quiet sweet moments, gorgeous, sweeping landscapes, and the best in everyone, that they may not even see in themselves.

I currently have about four years of hands-on experience in photoshoots, and I'm always striving to improve the quality of my work. I certainly hope I have the pleasure of meeting you and capturing your special memories!
