Model Thoughts:

“Pushing boundaries led to personal and professional growth. Collaborating with Leah, was instrumental in diversifying my portfolio. I had the time of my life. The resulting images are a source of immense pride and hold a special place in my portfolio. This journey was more than a professional endeavour; it was a true expansion of creativity and self-discovery. Leah's guidance reinforced that stepping out of one's comfort zone leads to the most rewarding career moments. For those seeking a challenge and portfolio diversification, it is a must.”

“The bootcamps have helped me develop as a model. It is a great way to get experience and get a feel for what it is like to be a model as you start your career. It also brings you up-to-date on recent trends in the industry to ensure you are on the right track in your modelling journey. The bootcamps are something I recommend highly to anyone who has an interest in the modelling industry. Leah is also a great teacher, has amazing advice and a lot of experience that helped me in my career. Everyone on set is incredible and makes you feel right at home!”

“Through the Bootcamps, amazing ranch photoshoot and runway classes, I have been able to explore avenues and develop a Portfolio for myself while having fun. It’s the best if you really want to practice on set to learn how to move and pose, especially with Leah as a great help to coach! I couldn’t recommend these classes more!”

“I am so thankful for all the amazing coaching you delivered over the past several months. I attended my first casting call today and crushed it!! They all stood up and clapped afterwards. They loved me and are very interested in me!! I used lots of the tips you had given to help me make an impression. I was smiley and very vocal when appropriate, making sure they all knew my name! Thanks so much again, you have been such a huge part in helping me gain confidence and a passion for this industry. I wouldn’t have done today without all of your coaching and support”
