I needed new real estate head shots. The problem is I hate being photographed probably because I'm an old, crusty surfer dude and not very photogenic. Lea made it fun and easy and the shots came out great! I don't want to look like a cliche realtor. I strive to put the "real" in real estate. Lea understood want I wanted and captured the vibe perfectly. I highly recommend her! read more

Brand Images By Lea - Headshot of realtor Greg Cruse by Lea - Session Photography Near Me

When I started rebranding my business 3 years ago, I asked for recommendations on a FB Group. I contacted half a dozen recommendations. Most of them sent me a quote over email or text. Lea was the only person who sat down with me and asked about "Me" and my brand. Who I am, what are my passions, detailed questions that ended up lasting 3 hours! I was beyond impressed and hired her on the spot. Fast forward 3 years later, Lea has been with me since the inception of Essential Anne. She has helped me co create my brand into a Women's Wellness Expert. To date she has increased my brand viewership by 30-40%! She is professional, energetic, authentic and now part of my family. She has traveled with me to Belize as my Branding Photographer and has photographed all my Women's Wellness That Works and Self Care events! Check all her phone on my IG @essentialanne! I am grateful to have Images by Lea in my Branding Team.! read more

Brand Images By Lea - Stand Up for the Cure Paddle in Dana Point 2021 - Session Photography Near Me

Images by Lea has been an integral part of Essential Anne's Branding Team. In fact, when I rebranded 3 years ago, I interviewed at least half a dozen photographers and most of them never contacted me. They sent me a quote via text or email. Lea was professional from the moment I spoke to her on the phone. She asked that we meet to go over my brand. I was extremely expressed because she had a detailed questionnaire regarding me and my brand. She was very specific on what my interests were, who I was and what my passion is. We ended have a 2 hour conversation. Since then, Images by Lea has been my primary photographer for Essential Anne, for Women's Wellness That Works Production Events for my show, and she worked on my Spiritual Self Care Retreat and most recently traveled with me to Belize for the Pure Abundance Retreat where she took beautiful photos in San Pedro as well as my Breathing Workshop. Lea is exceptional with vibrant energy, engaging, she gives it her all and then some. She has gone above and beyond with my brand. She has expanded her profession and I am excited to continue to work with her on more future projects. Thank you Lea for always making me look amazing! You are now and forever a friend and family! with gratitude, Essential Anne Talk show Host/Founder of Women's Wellness That Works Women's Wellness Expert read more
