The story behind the photographer
Professional photographer
20+years
I'm Leoni — a photographer, a businesswoman, a mum, and the person you'll spend your whole session with, start to finish.
I've been a professional photographer for over 20 years, and I spent the last 10 of those running a commercial studio. These days, I've moved that experience into a home studio, and it's changed everything about how my sessions feel. There's no reception desk, no rotating cast of staff, no walking past strangers on your way in. It's just you and me - a private, intimate space where you can actually relax.
That's deliberate. So many women tell me the idea of a boudoir or branding shoot feels intimidating before they even arrive. The thought of not knowing who your photographer is going to be, being passed between a reception area, hair and makeup and the studio, along with other clients - all strangers, all in one day. In my studio, that doesn't happen. I am the only person you work with from start to finish, so you won't have to coordinate introductions with three different people before the camera even comes out. You're just getting ready with me, talking, easing in. By the time we start shooting, we're not strangers anymore.
I'm also a divorced mum of two teenage girls, and that's shaped my mission as much as my years behind the camera. I know what it is to lose sight of your own story somewhere in the middle of everyone else's needs, and I know how powerful it is to be reminded, through a single experience, of exactly who you are, and who you want to be. That's what I want for every woman who walks into my studio - to leave feeling like she saw herself, and the way the people who love her already do.
Whether you're here for boudoir, personal branding, or headshots for your business, the experience is the same at its core - safe, unhurried, and entirely yours. No judgment, no performance, just you, me, and a couple of hours to remember what you're capable of.
Ready to chat before you book? That's exactly how I like to start — let's talk it through first.
I empower women to change their life through the choices they make; through self-responsibility, alignment, and radical self-trust.
I do this by helping women feel seen and heard, building their self-confidence and self-worth and showing them how incredible and powerful they are in creating their own destiny.
After becoming a mom, I realised how many women had lost their identity on life's journey. Whether through motherhood, their career or their relationships - over-giving and not making time for themselves.

" recently had a boudoir photoshoot with Leoni and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. She’s incredibly talented at what she does, even the unedited photos straight from the camera were beautiful. I was expecting to be really critical of myself and not like many of them; however, I ended up struggling to pick less than 40 photos!"
