Hi, I am Leah Dominguez.
Photographer, Holistic Healer and Your Empowerment Guide
Capturing moments is my craft, but empowering you is my passion. I'm Leah, a professional photographer with a diverse portfolio that spans weddings, couples, families, and more. While I've reveled in the beauty of these moments, my journey led me to a profound realization.
Photography isn't just about images; it's about empowerment.
My photography sessions are an infusion of two of my deepest loves – photography and holistic healing. This unique combination sets my work apart. Every session begins with an herbal burning ritual, a cleansing of energies tailored to your unique needs. It's a symbolic prelude to the transformation that's about to unfold.
Your session is more than just photography. It's about capturing the essence of your authentic self. Through personalized prompts and empowering guidance, I'll help you unveil your inner strength and beauty. Each session is an exploration of your power as a human.
My goal is for you to walk away not only with stunning images but also with a newfound sense of self. Empowered, confident, and radiating your true essence.
It's time to capture your power.
Let's create more than just photographs; let's craft moments of empowerment.
Welcome to a photography experience like no other.
Beyond the Photographer
All my life, I've been drawn to creativity in all its forms.
After moving to Colorado in 2011 at the age of 15, I took my first steps into photography and instantly fell in love. I had a natural eye for capturing moments, but my lack of confidence led me to set aside this talent for a time.
At 22, I became a mother for the first time. My son was born with an extra 21st chromosome, blessing our lives in a profound way. Not long after, we welcomed our second sweet boy. Towards the end of my second pregnancy, I offered to gift some close friends an engagement photoshoot, and they absolutely loved the photos I captured for them. That opportunity led to a referral for my first paid family photoshoot, which was a turning point for me. That experience gave me the push I needed to start my photography business, ALE Photography.
Alongside my brother and sister-in-law, I learned more about photography and business than I ever could have imagined. During this time, I also discovered my passion for healing and helping others, which led me to co-create Willowherb Holistic Healing with my best friend.
Though I found deep fulfillment in holistic healing, I missed the creative expression that photography gave me. I began to reflect on how I could combine my love for photography with my desire to empower and support others on their healing journeys. That’s when Willowherb Photography was born.
Too often, I hear women say they don't like how they look in pictures, and I want to help change that narrative. My goal is to show all women—and all people, regardless of age, gender, skin color, or body size—that they are beautiful, exactly as they are. While I specialize in women’s empowerment photography, I also love capturing all aspects of life’s precious moments.
I can't wait to meet you and be a part of your journey!
