The day started with an emotional drive to Charlottesville, helping my oldest pack her life into a little dorm room at #UVA. Saying goodbye was bittersweet—full of pride but aching with the reality of how much things would change at home.By the time I got back, I was physically and emotionally spent, desperate for a moment to escape. I opened my laptop and saw an email that stopped me in my tracks:
“We would like you to teach at WPPI.”
WPPI. The world’s largest photography conference. A place that transformed me as a photographer. To now be invited to teach there is a moment I never thought I’d see in my career.
Creative entrepreneurship is not easy. It’s been filled with late nights, challenging limiting beliefs, and relentless hard work. But this moment brought me to center—it’s all been worth it.
I’m beyond honored to share my passion for couples boudoir photography on a stage as meaningful as WPPI. This isn’t just about photography—it’s about connection, intimacy, and creating experiences that transform relationships.
LeZandra McGinnis-McKeon is a Norfolk Virginia Couples Boudoir Photographer who will be teaching boudoir at WPPI
- How to curate sessions that bring out each couple’s unique relationship strengths
- Proven techniques to help even the most reserved clients feel confident and comfortable
- My full session flow, from consultation to client coaching, posing, and aftercare
- How to create spicy, authentic imagery that resonates with your clients long after the session ends
It’s taken me a long time to own the title of “educator,” but here I am, stepping into it fully. I’m so grateful for the chance to give back to an industry that’s given me so much, and I can’t wait to inspire and connect with fellow creatives. Being able to teach and lift others up in their own journeys? That’s what it’s all about for me.
