Hello dear friends – welcome to my first 2022 newsletter. It’s been a minute, so I wanted to re-introduce myself in case you haven’t seen me for a while or only know me from my photography work. I’m Leah – I’m a veteran portrait photographer, mom, wife and international traveler. I can’t wait to bring you more updates on what’s happening with Leah Clancy Photography as well as a new project that I’m working on – Leah Clancy Travel. For more information on my travel business, click on over to the blog post  “surprise” I started a travel company. Because – surprise! I did.

The last two years have been challenging for all of us, I know. But the silver lining is that we were all forced to change in some way. Change is a catalyst to get life GOING and that’s what I’ve been trying to do in 2022. I’ve dedicated this year to exploring and doing things that I’ve been procrastinating about for a loooooong time – like this newsletter. I will be sending it out regularly to let everyone know what is up with my photography business, travel opportunities, tips and things I love.

Our Todos Santos Airbnb

One of the best beach restaurants ever

The Todos Santos food scene is on fire

The beginning of the year started out with a New Years trip to Arizona to soak up some sun and then a beautiful trip to Todos Santos Mexico for me and my husband Kevin’s joint 49th birthday. I haven’t been to Mexico since 1996, so it was a very new experience and we loved it! We ate some of the best food and stayed in the most beautiful AirBnB. More to come on that trip soon. Next up was Palm Springs for a weekend of Photography work for my high school seniors.

Palm Springs Senior shoots will be on the menu in 2023

I’ll be offering shoots in Palm Springs for the class of 2023 next winter, so watch for more information coming on that front.

Coming up this weekend I will be traveling to NYC to firm up some details for my upcoming NYC girls tour that I’ll be hosting in April (Surprise! I started a travel company).

If you’re not following me on my travel page I would love to see you over there – on Instagram: leahclancytravel. I’ll be posting some of my favorite things to do in one of my favorite cities in the world. I travel to NYC often and can’t wait to share the things I love about it so much. If you have always dreamed about heading to the NYC or Europe, but don’t know where to start, I’ve got lots of tips.

Next up we are headed to France for a week that includes Paris and Provence. Watch for a future newsletter on that exciting trip as well!

My photography business is in full swing offering commercial shoots for business as well as personal branding, so if you haven’t seen my commercial work, I invite you over to my website to check it out here: Leah Clancy Commercial

commercial shoots that go beyond a simple headshot

personality driven photos

If You’re in the Market for some new headshots or branding – I’m your girl! I’ll be shooting commercial work up until August 1st and then I’ll be pausing it from August-November during my busy portrait season that is booking out now – so get those commercial dates while they’re hot! Thank you for reading and thank you for being part of my business evolution. I appreciate all of the love and repeat clients I’ve had over the last 17 years. Here’s to the next 17 and all the updates in between (that I will not procrastinate about doing anymore)!

XOXOX, Leah
