Celebrate your family's love and laughter through authentic photography that speaks to your adventurous spirit.


Hi. My name is Tom Lebsack and I'm the person behind MOT photography. I'm a professional family photographer based in Bend, Oregon most often photographing across Oregon, Washington, and Utah.


Why I'm a FAMILY photographer

I'm a family photographer because I truly believe in the enduring strength of familial love. This belief is rooted deeply in my personal history—growing up, I faced the heartbreaking divorce of my parents, followed closely by the tragic loss of my sister. These events profoundly shaped my understanding of life's fragility and the critical importance of treasuring every moment of connection and joy. This insight is what draws me to family photography. Each session is a celebration of the ties that bind us, filled with moments of love and unity that deeply resonate with me. Through my lens, I aim to capture those authentic expressions of affection and the distinctive bonds that define each family. My goal is to do more than preserve memories; I seek to underscore the beauty of relationships that withstand the tests of life's challenges.
