Helping women feel beautiful, empowered, strong one photo at a time.
Lesley Veronika Photography
I'm Lesley Frank, the proud owner and operator of Lesley Veronika Photography. My love for photography blossomed at a young age, driven by an appreciation for its aesthetics and the beauty it captures. However, I couldn't comprehend why so many people disliked being photographed, a sentiment I personally never shared due to my strong sense of body positivity.

The landscape shifted after the birth of my first daughter, Olivia, as I grappled with postpartum depression. Staring into the mirror, I found myself scrutinizing every detail, feeling a disconnection from the person I once knew. Through dedicated efforts to restore my well-being, I gradually regained confidence, only to face a similar challenge with the arrival of my second daughter, Amelia.

This time, armed with experience, I underwent a boudoir session that proved transformative. Viewing the resulting photos, I was struck by a newfound confidence, realizing that embracing rather than erasing my stretch marks and weight gain was the key. This revelation deepened my love for photography, unveiling its potential as an empowering tool. I recognized the capacity of photography to celebrate and embrace every aspect of oneself.

We've done two sessions with Lesley, and we have been thrilled with the results both times! She is so patient and fantastic with kids (even wild toddlers!) My youngest was very uncooperative at our first session, but Lesley completely took it in stride and still managed to get beautiful images of her and our family. I have thoroughly enjoyed working with her, and highly recommend her for anyone, but especially anyone with kids!

Absolutely loved my boudoir session with Lesley. Very helpful and communicative ahead of time and has such a calming and go with the flow attitude during the session.

I was nervous to go for my boudoir session with Lesley, however I left feeling empowered and sexy! Lesley made the experience much easier than I anticipated, and made me feel comfortable. I would recommend a boudoir shoot for anyone contemplating it!

I recently had a boudoir session with Lesley and she made me feel so comfortable and confident! I love the mission behind her passion and her gentle, sweet spirit made our time working together fun and not awkward 😆 Not only was the shoot fun and comfortable, but the photos are AMAZING!! She has a great eye for lighting and the images show the confidence I felt! My husband was thoroughly surprised (and happy) with them as his birthday present! Thank you, Lesley!!

We really enjoyed our photo session with Lesley. She was flexible on location and suggested good times based on what we were trying to achieve. She consulted on outfits and was very clear in her explanation of fees and expectations. We were so happy with the end product. She captured great photos of our family and did a great job posing us and adjusting our positions, jewelry, hair, etc. She was a pleasure to work with and we recommend her for anyone looking for great family photos!

Lesley did a wonderful job and managed to get beautiful photos of our family despite a couple of our kiddos being a little stubborn that evening. She was great to work with in all aspects. I highly recommend her!
