Kismet Connection Academy IS OPEN & isn't for those willing to settle.
I went from making $30k a year at a miserable job to $30k in a month with just photography and what's inside of this course is how I did it. This isn't just a how-to course, it goes so much deeper. We tap into the magic of human connection to land soulmate clients, evoke emotion, forever alter your client experience, host meaningful styled shoots, utilize Instagram, crush client gifting and ultimately only book soulmate clients, know how to bring in consistent over $10k months and run a photography business you ADORE that gives couples a captured legacy they'll never want to forget. I’m on a mission to give photographers the tools to rise above normal & good enough. If you're ready for a more you're in the right place.
DON'T LET ANYONE TELL YOU YOU'RE NOT READY (INCLUDING YOURSELF) you deserve this
Come dream with me for a moment.. you're in a reality where you're booking only your soulmate clients, they're excited to pay you DOUBLE what you're charging now, you feel confident after each session or celebration and photography is your full time gig!
You feel supported & inspired by your business and filled with purpose, rather than controlled by less than ideal clients.
You're traveling worldwide for couples that absolutely adore you and give you reviews like "She made us feel comfortable before we ever met her. Every time I see her photos, I can feel the emotions deeply tied into them: from both the people in front of the camera and the woman who stands behind it. Leandra will make you feel like you’ve known her forever..."
These kind of reviews were years in the making of perfecting my client experience and everything tied to that, I want to give you everything so you can skip the years of stress and jump into the extraordinary.
It's it time you finally gave your business the chance it deserves...
You don't have to do it alone.
For the photographers that are craving...
soulmate clients
abundance
more time
less stress
higher tips
images that turn to legacies
5 star thoughtful client reviews
Have you ever thought...
Are you ready to let go of the business owner that got you here to step into the creative that will get you where you're going?
Feeling stuck, frustrated and resentful for too long can diminish the health of your business...
Don't just take it from me, when past KCA students were asked "What makes KCA different from other courses you may have taken in the past?" Here's what 3 of dozens said...
- Haley, KCA ALUM
"I felt like Leandra was more present and available through the course unlike other courses where they send you videos and you’re on your own."
- MADISON, KCA ALUM
"It was personal and intricately designed for photographers at all stages of development in their business"
- Caliyah, KCA ALUM
"KCA has a lot more heart to it! All the other educational programs don’t have that soulful connection. It feels like they’re just talking into the camera and spewing out knowledge. You take it all slowly and really make sure we understand what you’re saying. A lot of other people don’t do that. I had such lack of motivation within my business, I was accepting gigs that I hated. Now I am THRIVING!! I’m getting clients that I never thought I would ever get and I am genuinely enjoying my job!!"

ENROLL NOW
May 2019 - I was still at my soul sucking corporate job in Baltimore, Maryland - tucked away in the conference room masking my excitement as full blown tears ran down my face while I officially registered my very own business. It was a time of a lot of change in my life. A few weeks before that conference room moment I had made the choice to move in with my partner and start a new life states away, a few days after that I got in a major car accident, T Boned by a Fire Truck two blocks from my apartment. Yep, a story for the grandkids for sure. After a few scary days, thankfully I was just left with a concussion, a few scars and a new passion for savoring our legacies. Needless to say, it shook me up and really made me question my purpose & path. After recovery, nothing was clearer than the fact that I needed to begin my journey as an entrepreneur, I had to help others feel a sense of belonging, beauty and connection. When the dust settled the scary and inevitable question needed an answer, what in the heck do I do now? The reality: Starting a photography business, for me, was rooted in my desire to help others create & savor tangible legacies - but I had no compass, no road map, no execution plan and no safety net to fall on. While photography had been a passion for years, I had no idea how to attract soulmate clients, build a successful business, market to the right people or confidently create something lasting and meaningful. Equal parts exciting and terrifying, ever felt that? But this course is exactly how I made it all happen and I want to help you collapse time and avoid all the headaches (business not firetruck related) I endured in the process.
I was LOST, overwhelmed & DEFEATED
Shortly after getting my business up and running, I hit a wall. Was I booking clients? Yes (thankfully). Were they soulmate clients that I deeply connected to? Not at all. I still felt lost and I was craving better than "good enough" for myself & clients. I had high hopes of this business being a vessel that would change the lives of others, that would give souls a new way to see themselves, authentically capture the big and small memories, and preserve legacies to cherish and honor for years to come. Ever felt that? I knew this path was my purpose but felt so unsupported by it, I knew there had to be something more to help guide creators like me. After years of shooting, and months of planning & reflecting I put Kismet Connection Academy into motion. Kismet Connection Academy delivers a holistic approach to designing your life as a creative entrepreneur, because we all know, clients aren't just choosing photographs - they’re choosing the brand, story, individual, experience, comfort, love, support and honesty behind the lens. I say this to every one of my couples and I will say it to you, "photographs look and feel different when they are created from the heart and lens of someone that honors and adores you and your love story" full stop. We dive deep here.
But now I know exactly how to help because I've been there.
This course is the only one of its kind because...
It was created with TRUE intention...
After I started my business I felt so lost on the next step. I was overwhelmed and overworked, and for what?! Clients that we're...fine. But I didn't feel light up with passion, totally aligned with my purpose and jazzed for the next shoot. Is this something you've felt recently?
I've taken everything I've learned in the past 10 years with a camera in hand that has given me an abundant business of my dreams that makes clients say things like "I just felt like it was meant to be that you're our photographer" and made it into a course for you. I've been adding to this container since the day I created it and will continue to for years to come, so everytime I learn something new, every time I raise the bar...you get to, too. This course is exactly what I wished I had when my business felt stagnant.
it's built with heart, a whole lotta soul and no bs.
I'm not about sugar coating things for you. This isn't some hokey, how-to, high level course. I so deeply want photographers to experience the joy of having a business that supports you and clients that are dying to scream your name for the world to hear! I've put my heart and soul into creating this container for photographers that are ready to take their creative business to the next level, not in 6 months, not in a year, right freaking now. This isn't for the faint of heart, this is for the ambitious, creative and passionate couples photographer. You CAN expect a radical transformation in your business.
theres nothing out there that teaches the magic of connection & the human experience
For years I thought this little piece, the intentional focus on the connection between photographer & couple, really getting to know their love story, the dance between lens and love and all that this encompasses from lead to review was my secret sauce, it turns out - it was!!! I was afraid it wasn't teachable, guess what... it freaking is. Photography is such an intimate art and I'm shocked there's nothing else out there that hones in on this aspect of photography. In finding this, I decided to create it. This is the missing piece.
You're stronger than you think. But if you're anything like me, you need support to take your magnetic magic & photographer super power to the next level. You just want someone to tell you what works. You value your time and you're ready to be where you're going already.
I vow to give you evything that's gotten me to where I am now inside this heartfelt, self paced course.
Kismet Connection Academy is everything you need rise to the next level in your photography journey.
This is more than a course for you, this is for your present and future clients. For their families to relive their unique story for years to come in the most extraordinary way. This is for their legacies. This is for the photographer you might teach in the future that is where you're at right now. This is for your CPA, because yes, your investment in this course can be written off.
Okay that was as joke but also not really. ;)
