Lease, a modestly self-described hobbyist, was selected at the top of the "people and cultures" category.
Lease loves taking pictures because "it's fun trying to capture emotions on camera," she said.
"(Nature) can make people more aware of the world."
Lease has already been awarded prizes for taking the top of her category.
She got free batteries, a shoulder bag, a hi-tech film scanner and the National Geographic Ultimate Field Guide to Photography.
Always taking pictures, Lease said she occasionally checks online for photography contests like this one.
"My family has been very patient with me," she said. "I take a lot of pictures of them."
The winner will be announced September 22, and there is no talking Lease out of choosing her brother for that trip for two if she finds out it's her.
"I kind of have to take him; I need to pay him back for the photo," she said.
