Hi. I'm Leah


I am like many, trying to start a photography business. I LOVE IT, I love people, I love pictures, I love people watching, I even love the business side of it. It's a perfect fit for me! I also have some background in business. Before I had my first daughter and got to become a SAHM, I ran the business operations of my dad's company with him. We were a small business, so I was HR, Sales, Marketing, Customer Relations, Book Keeper, Designer among a few more titles. I have found that this knowledge base has been very useful with starting my photography business in many ways... But in others not so much. After all boats and photography don't exactly go hand in hand. 

So many things I learned by spending countless (and I mean countless) hours in front of my Mac trying to find the info... Here's the thing though... Much of what I found I stumbled on, I didn't even know to look for it and I kept thinking (wow I could have almost missed that) other things I learned from my mentor/friend Heather Ward but what if you don't have a mentor? How do YOU get the info?

I'm creating this blog as a resource for ideas, technique, awesome web sites, the business side of things, a little bit of it all. Follow me as I go through my journey, learn a few things and take away from it what you will. 

I hope my little blog helps another aspiring photographer!
