Helping women feel beautiful, empowered, strong one photo at a time.
I'm Lesley Frank, the proud owner and operator of Lesley Veronika Photography. From a young age, my heart has been captivated by the art of photography, drawn to its aesthetics and the inherent beauty it captures. However, the perplexity of why so many individuals detested being photographed always intrigued me. I never grappled with body positivity until...After the arrival of my first daughter, Olivia, postpartum depression struck. Staring into the mirror, I scrutinized every aspect, sensing a disconnection between the person I once knew and the reflection before me. Determined to regain confidence, I diligently worked on my health, achieving a renewed sense of self. Yet, the cycle repeated...
Baby number two, Amelia, entered the scene, accompanied by another wave of postpartum challenges. This time, I was better prepared. A boudoir session proved transformative, altering my perspective profoundly. Gazing at those photos, I marveled, "I exude confidence." Confronting my stretch marks and weight gain, I realized the need to not erase but embrace these aspects. That session deepened my love for photography, unveiling its empowering capacity. I recognized photography as a tool capable of fostering empowerment and self-love.

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!

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 is such a sweet person! Being a mother and a wife, she really understands families and that's her specialty! She makes you feel so beautiful throughout your photoshoot with her and nonetheless her photography skills are amazing! I have worked with Lesley for several months now as an intern, and it is so awesome to see what it is like owning your own business first hand. She truly is such a great photographer and would highly recommend her to anyone and everyone!
