Portfolio / Website Audit

Step back from the work you're close to and see the gold in yourself you may be missing. Discover your strongest images that are getting buried, get fresh eyes on your messaging, and build momentum on what you've already got going for you. 

Gallery Audit

Gain gentle and constructive perspective on your strongest images within up to 2 recent galleries. I'll include culling recommendations and tips, and outside eyes on your unique super powers that are shining through. Your video will include ideas to improve lighting, posing, and direction, but also acknowledge where you're already on the right track.

You'll walk away with confidence in sharing your best work, a more aligned body of images to attract your ideal people, and gentle ideas to refine your future work in the direction of making more art with the same visual strength. 

Either way...

Within 1 week, I'll record & send a personalized video for you to watch in your own time. You can watch forever as many times as you need. Your video will include a custom review, encouragement about what you're doing right, and constructive perspective to help you to break through your ceilings and make your next moves with confidence.

“I was feeling burnt out and discouraged but was too overwhelmed to get started. [leah] laid it all out in such a clear and concise way."

Love what you do and how you do it.

With equal parts art and business, I want to help you find clarity, peace, and joy through photographing families. 

I've spent the last 20 years building a business I'm proud of. I love what I do, how I do it, and who I do it for...and that's the gold I want to pass on to you, too.

With a masters degree in education, I’m as equally obsessed with teaching as I am about art. My goal is to help other photographers cut through the clutter and feel on fire about their work all around.
