LT | Charlotte Photographer

Hi friends! I am both excited, and also nervous to share this first post, but we are going to go for it, because all great things start somewhere, right? For the first time in a long time, I decided to #leanin ☺️to something I’ve been passionate about for a very long time, you guessed it, photography. 📸 As someone who works in the diversity and inclusion space day-to-day, I find it important to champion the many ways in which someone identifies and celebrate the unique qualities that make you, well..you! There is a simply truth that we all must do our best to remember, there is no one in this world that is exactly the same. No situation, dynamic, or experience is identical. Leaning into your authenticity is one of the greatest ways you can honor yourself. This simple truth is why I felt Lean In Photography was the best name for my work and why I started this journey. I want to help mirror the beauty of your story through my lens. So let’s get to know each other 👋🏽 My name is Latisha, I’m a beginner photographer here in Charlotte, NC and I’m on a mission to change the world through my work and creative expression. I’m a proud black woman 🤎who comes from a line of strong, relentless, compassionate, artistic women whom I couldn’t be more proud of. I am queer and came out when I was 21 (Happy belated National Coming Out Day!) I’m a New Yorker, I love food (especially pizza and French fries), I’m a dog mom to my Shiba, Mila, and I’m someone who will always stop to smell the flowers, especially if they are sunflowers.☺️🌻 I’m sharing this with you in my first post because I believe the who, what, and especially the “why” is so important and my “why” is you! Let me be someone who reminds you, you’re beautifully made and wonderfully created, my friends. To kick-off my photography journey, I’m going to capture my #50firstshoots, where I host sessions with individuals all across Charlotte, capturing stories that deserve to be told because everyone’s journey and identity should be celebrated. I invite you to join me, follow along @leaninphotography , and honor the courage it takes for someone to stand in their truth💛

Details Below- you guys check out the next one!! ❤️ 🌹 Soul Sessions | Vol. 001 — Brown Sugar “Soul Sessions is a curated listening experience by BLKSTUDY — created to honor Black music as it’s meant to be felt: intentionally, uninterrupted, and in community. This first session, Brown Sugar, invites guests into a warm, lounge-style space where sound leads and presence matters. Expect a thoughtfully curated DJ set, film moments throughout the night, and intentional touchpoints designed for connection. Sound inspired by Neo Soul and classic R&B will guide the evening. This is not a party. This is not background noise. This is a shared moment.”

Still on such a high from Soul Sessions Vol. 001🤎 Thank you for letting me be a part on your vision 🫶🏽 📸@blk.study #dreamteam

When The Fun Side Club began in March 2025, I knew I’d found the thing that will outgrow me. What I didn’t expect is how quickly this would happen. Just a couple months in, doing it all alone started to hinder the growth and suck the fun out of the whole mission. This clashed directly, aggressively against my life motto — “if we’re not having fun, what’s the point?” I knew that if my dream for The Fun Side Club was going to come to life (in-person Clubs across the country), I was going to need a different type of a support. Someone to decide, lead and DRIVE with me. Someone to jump into the drivers seat when I just can’t keep my eyes open, and someone to roll down the windows and sing with. JGo’s face was the first to come to mind, and she has since been my UNICORN — meeting needs and expanding everyone in her orbit with heart and grounded leadership. So Fun Fam and all those tuned in, please help me welcome my new partner in FUN, The Fun Side’s new CO-CREATOR AND CXO — chief experience officer — @xojgo !!!!!!!!!!!!! 🦄💫👯‍♀️🚀🔥🎉🍾✨👑💃💘 📸 by the amazing @l_h_visuals
