Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Leah Turney. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Leah, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today Almost every entrepreneur we know has considered donating a portion of their sales to an organization or cause – how did you make the decision of whether to donate? We’d love to hear the backstory if you’re open to sharing the details.
Yes! I donate all profits from my print shop to nature and wildlife conservation charities. I do this because my photography focuses on the beauty of people in nature and I want to do all I can to preserve our natural world and it’s beauty.
Leah, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?
Hi! My name is Leah and ever since I was very little I’ve always known I wanted to be an artist. I started out drawing and painting then moved into digital art and eventually photography. Now, I specialize in documentary wedding photography. The beauty of this medium is that I can document very important memories for my clients that they might otherwise forget. I’ve recently been shooting a lot of film photography as well which gives my work a very fine art and nostalgic look. I am so happy to get to capture these special moments for my clients and create art from them!
Are there any resources you wish you knew about earlier in your creative journey?
I wish I knew how much your community matters early on. My community of fellow artists, photographers and vendors have helped me get through tough times where I felt like giving up and also to provide creative inspiration.
Is there a particular goal or mission driving your creative journey?
My mission through my business is to help transform the wedding industry into a more eco friendly space.
