Welcome and thank you for taking the time to reading all about me.
For starters, I'm a mother of four beautiful, growing children, and a wife to a wonderful husband, Dunstan Wood. I was born and raised in Peace River and I am from a long line of Georges who have lived here. Should my children decide to raise their own kids locally, that will make six generations of us living in the beautiful town of Peace River that I am proud to call home.
I was born to Wendell and Yvonne George and I have one brother, Matthew, and 1 nieces and 2 nephews. I have plenty of aunts, uncles and cousins (I think I'm related to half the town).
As some of you may or may not know, the George family helped found the small hamlet that grew into the town you now know. They helped build hospitals, ran businesses and just plain old lived here and raised up their own children.
My passion for photography all started back when I was a young girl when I received a camera as a gift from my parents. I loved that point and shoot; I took many pictures and filled many photo albums.
Fast forward years later when the birth of my first son re-sparked my interest into the world of photography. There were no real portrait studios where I could take my child, so I made do with what I had – my husband’s SLR film camera. I shot hundreds of photographs, and, well, the rest is history! Here you are today looking through my portfolio and reading about me.
I look forward to meeting with clients, new and old alike! I hope that we can connect and I can help you capture your family’s memories.
xoxo Leah Wood

Shawna Shannon - Good Morning Leah:
I have a Sony A900 DSLR Camera with an assortment of lenses that my husband bought for me because I love to take pictures. I signed up for an online photography course over a year ago but I am a very busy woman and I just haven’t gotten very far with my course. I am the marketing manager for the Navigators Hockey Club and I like to take pictures at the games. I bought a 70-200 MM F2.8 G lens to take action shots at the hockey games but I need some help to understand all the settings and everything on it and how to set it to get the actions shots without a bunch of adjusting as there just isn’t time. On manual I find it hard to get everything focused when constantly zooming in and out. Is this something you can help me with? I intend to get back to my photography course but we have an exhibition game coming up with the Montreal Canadiens Alumni on February 9th and I want to be able to take some better quality photos before then. Thanks.
myra letendre - I would love to take ur course 🙂 if u hav room.
