Thank you to everyone who smiled, laughed, posed, sang, danced, drank, celebrated, and supported our fun and creative studio over the past two years. We had an absolute blast and loved every moment of the photo shoots, parties, and events!

Due to personal reasons, I decided to close the business, and despite my efforts, I couldn’t find someone to carry on this creative venture or perhaps the right person hasn't found this opportunity... We’ve been closed since May 2024, but we still get daily inquiries. I’m sorry to say we can’t continue offering this space for creating content and memories, but I’m incredibly grateful to everyone who joined me on this journey.

Much love, xx

Do it for the self-ie

What do - You - see when you look at this photo??? Comment below ⬇️ Here’s what I see as the photographer:

I see a stunning woman in her mid 50s loving her life and herself! Perfectly imperfect legs, no filter, no retouching and yet perfectly beautiful!

Her smile is vibrating! It’s radiating self-love and self-acceptance, because one day she decided to ❤️ herself, just before she started her extremely inspiring weight loss journey.

She learned the importance of self-focus, taking the necessary time, celebrating her achievements, and embracing self-forgiveness simultaneously.

You look stunning Leeanne, because of how bright your light shines.
