Highlighted family and newborn photography sessions

Not *everyone* experiences that “busy fall” photographers like to talk about. Maybe you’re reflecting on what this fall looked like for you and instead of being filled with clients sessions, it was kind of stale. If that’s you, you’re probably finding yourself wondering if there’s a way you can still capitalize on all the fall energy around photography when you’re not busy in the fall.

Maybe you’ve moved to a new city, or you’re on maternity leave, or just going through a lull. Whatever the reason, when you’re in that space and when you go to Instagram, you see everyone doing sessions and sharing fall work and editing cues and it can be discouraging. So instead of sitting around feeling terrible, let’s consider all the potential at your fingertips, instead!

In this episode I’m sharing four things that you can do to capitalize on the fall energy and build momentum, even when your work que is slow. 


Through personal stories and advice, we’ll create excitement around the slower seasons to use them well with the big picture in mind.

Hi, I'm Leah.
Family photographer, writer, educator.

I’m  one of the first to meet your newborn baby, the one who won't judge your clothes baskets and unmade beds, and the one who can capture the way your husband looks at you with a twinkle in his eye after 12 years of marriage. I believe in honoring people and telling stories.

I believe art has the power to light up the world in dark places, starting at home.
