Help clients decide what to wear (without a client closet)

I'm Leah!

I’m obsessed with stories of family, creativity, and simple joys.  A nostalgia nerd, educator, wife, and mom of 3, I believe life’s most fun when you’re dreaming big and having kitchen dance parties.

Highlighted family and newborn photography sessions

One of the biggest questions that comes up for clients when preparing for their session is “what do I wear?” As the photographer, it’s good service to help them with that!  But that doesn’t mean you have to become a full-on stylist, stock a client closet, or put them in a cookie cutter formula of “what looks good.”

Of course, full styling is an option that serves some photographers and clients very well! It’s all about your goals and the type of images you’re marketing.

But if you want to empower your clients to make clothing choices that feel natural and genuine to their actual style and make them feel great just being themselves… this episode is for you.

What every photographer should know about “conveying value”

Hi, I'm Leah -
lifestyle 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.  My life's work is about honoring people and telling stories.

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

I'm a mom of 3 who loves mornings and words. I rely heavily on black coffee and a sense of humor.
