In addition, we have robust high school and college level internship programs and photography education for individuals as well as groups.
We exist to provide exceptional and compelling portrait photography. Our founder and primary photographer Lesa Van Meter has had a gypsy-like upbringing from coast to coast. Her perpetually traveling and moving background has given her a heart for celebrating variety, color and juxtaposition. She loves dramatically pulling subjects into the spotlight. Her photography style comes to life with a fusion of personality-forward moments, bold colors, both natural and created sets, modern high-fashion attitude, and classically-informed poses. Her passion is creating top quality, beautiful, dramatic, creative, compelling and timeless portraits.
But our photographs aren’t ultimately about us at all. This is about YOU. This is about telling YOUR story, sharing YOUR journey and humbly expressing YOUR life. With experience and passion, we are dedicated to capturing the essence. So, we ask questions, we listen, and we work with you to create powerful images. Some images are powerful because of the perfect beauty they portray, but sometimes the power comes from heartache they reflect or the unforgettable and timeless moment that was captured.
We invite you into the Shadowlands experience — it’s not like one you’ve had before.
From graduating high school seniors desiring to celebrate their own style and personality, to models who are looking for their next breakthrough, to businesses wanting to strongly communicate their brand, we work with the same commitment to meaning and quality.
Come and see.
