Lesley Veronika Photography
Photographer in Leland, NC
I'm Lesley Frank, the proud owner and operator of Lesley Veronika Photography. My affinity for photography developed at a young age, driven by a fascination with its aesthetics and the beauty it captures. However, I couldn't comprehend why so many people harbored a dislike for being photographed. My journey took an unexpected turn when, after the birth of my first daughter, Olivia, I grappled with postpartum depression.Staring into the mirror, I scrutinized every aspect of myself and felt a profound disconnection between the person I had always known and the reflection before me. Committing to improving my mental and physical well-being, I eventually regained confidence. Yet, the struggle resurfaced with the arrival of my second daughter, Amelia. This time, armed with experience, I sought solace in a boudoir session that profoundly altered my perspective.
Examining the resulting photos, I was struck by a newfound sense of confidence. Observing my stretch marks and weight gain, I realized the importance of not erasing but embracing these aspects of myself. This transformative session deepened my love for photography, unveiling its potential as an empowering tool. I came to understand that photography has the ability to celebrate and empower, fostering self-love and acceptance.

Lesley is truly the sweetest and most amazing photographer in our area! She goes above and beyond to spread body positivity and to make every person feel loved! She was so helpful when it came to scheduling sessions for my senior pictures, figuring out marketing credits, having a very easy payment process where we could pay in full or in pieces, and going above and beyond on making sure we had every picture we need to complete my senior year and the memories that come with it. I truly cannot recommend Lesley and her photography enough, especially her Senior Model Program that makes young ladies feel so loved.

Such a positive and easy experience! We wanted quick and easy photos (with good outcomes) especially with small kiddos and Lesley worked with us on our location and timing to make everything convenient! The pictures turned out beautiful and we had so many choices to choose from! Thanks for an easy and pleasant photo session!

Lesley made me feel so beautiful and so comfortable during our recent shoot. The photos were a surprise for my man and he is in total awe 😍 I couldn't have received a better reaction and, a huge bonus, I've never felt more confident. The hardcover book is of amazing quality, I couldn't be more pleased. Her talent is obvious but to top it off, Lesley Frank is just an amazingly kind woman and I feel honored to know her
