Ep. 02 Lessons in Confidence from Film Photographer Leanne Haskins
The confidence it takes to shoot with film has many life lessons that anyone can take with them. Leanne of Leanne Haskins Photography shares so many nuggets about standing in your worth and your truth in this episode.
Leanne has been baby whispering and cheering on mothers from behind her camera for over five years. She's a firm believer that amazing portraits are the result of a great relationship between you and your photographer. She takes time to get to know her families on a personal level. Based in Nicholas Sparks country, she travels from the moss covered oaks to the southeastern coast to the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina, documenting growing families. Leanne's work has been featured in online publications with Lemonade and Lenses, Let the Kids, Clickin Moms, and Little Bellows, as well as printed in Wilma Magazine.
Make sure to stick around for after the interview with Leanne when I recap different messages we covered, such as confidence, having hard conversations and being true to yourself.

I am here with my friend Leanne Haskins Gilbert, the photographer extraordinaire to families, friends, felines, but primarily families. Leanne, if you had to give someone a snapshot of what your life looks like right now - you know, where you live, who you live with, etc. how would you describe that to people?
