LeZandra Photography is 10!!! If you would have told me that I would be doing this 10 years ago I would have laughed in your face. “Photography isn’t a real job!” is what I told my mom when faced with the decision to continue being an ABA Therapist (and pay crazy amounts in childcare) or go […]
This huge news is not what I had planned for today. Not by a long shot. The plan was to buy a home with land and build a studio on the property. However, finding a place that checked all of the boxes proved more difficult than expected. I’m not the kind of girl to settle. […]
One of the things I struggled with the most as I grew up was the fact that I didn’t see women on the magazine covers or tv who looked like me. From my size, to my body, and even my frizzy hair, the representation just wasn’t there. As a little girl, it left me constantly […]
Let me just start by saying that I am most certainly not the expert on parenting, owning a business, or a combination of the two. But I have learned a lot in the last four months and there are some things that I wish somebody had told me. This is going to be a pretty […]
Recently, somebody asked me how I got started with photography. In high school, I decided to take Photography instead of another AP class. When the course description said that I would learn how to develop my own film, I was intrigued. But that wasn’t where it started. Looking back on my high school film photos, […]
It has taken a lot of time, energy, and thought deciding what will go in this blog post. But, here it goes. This is probably the most personal blog post I have ever written. I apologize for not having a photo to go with it, but I feel the words are what matter in this […]
Last year I decided to start a 365. But between recently graduating from college and PCSing overseas, well…let’s just say I didn’t make it very far. I decided to give it another go. But this time, I will be doing a photo a week. I’ve fallen into the terrible habit of not taking my camera […]
You could say that it has become a sort of tradition… Once a month the ladies at the Richmond Institute of Burlesque at Norfolk put on a night of glitz and glamour. My partner in crime and I never miss a show. It is rare that I click with another woman (I blame my raunchy […]
It has been a bit quite on the blog, and not just because I suck at blogging (although that is a large part of it). My husband and I have started the process of buying a house, and well, it’s quite exhausting! I cannot wait to move though. I have never lived somewhere […]
I am so happy to announce that I have been in business for one year today!!! Woohoo!!! This first year has taught me so much about myself and about the world. I can honestly say that I am surprised to have come so far when juggling both college, fibromyalgia, and a business. But I have […]
If you do not know already, I had been limiting all of my photography work during the last couple of months. I am so glad that I did. Taking time off allowed me to focus on my last semester of university. I recently graduated from HPU Magna Cum Laude and on the Dean’s List […]
