Hi, I’m Lea (read ”Leah” but without the ”h”). I’m a multi-published photographer based out of North Carolina. I spent a decade as a professional photographer and photography educator/writer, working with a variety of talented individuals and beautiful publications. However, 2020 shifted a lot of our perspectives and I decided it was time for a change.
Though I no longer take on commercial work, some of my previous features include HGTV, Domino, Domino Kids Magazine, Reveal Magazine by The Property Brothers, CityView Magazine, The Fayetteville Observer, and Design Addict Mom. Additionally, I also moderated forums and/or wrote photography related content for Pretty Presets, The Modern Tog, and I Heart Faces.
