How it all started
A camera wasn’t where it began.
My name is Lianna and
My mission is to create impactful experiences and media that cultivates human connection.
I’ve traveled the world with my work as a photographer and…
Have had the honor of sitting with over 170 humans from around the world on my podcast “Your Fellow Human,”
I get to work with my fellow creatives helping them build and grow the careers of their dreams, I get to host intimate cultural experiences that allow humans to connect and learn more about humanity, and I get to call this my work!
But it wasn’t always like this…
Before I became the full time media producer, free dive instructor, travel host, and creator mentor that I am now, I used to work with athletes!
I always knew I wanted to build my own business, to have the freedom to create my own career and connect with humanity; that hasn’t changed, but the HOW has!
Prior to 2020, and that fateful year, I only did what I do now as a side “hobby” if you will, my full time work was with Athletes, predominantly MMA and jiu jitsu fighters (which side note is how jiu jitsu became a hobby and one I’ve since won a couple international gold medals in). However, as time went on seeing the world and getting to use my camera to connect with others was still my passion, and as luck would have it, 2020 provided me with the time to build the business I have now.
I’d be lying if I said it was easy, that I didn’t work crazy hours in the beginning, or that I didn’t have days I thought it was crazy and should just put this dream to rest!
But with a dream
An amazing partner that has reminded me who I am on the days I forget, and a whole lot of hard work, I now get to call this my full time work!
I get to travel the world and sit with beautiful humans just like you, and I get to work with clients that allow me to call a catamaran my home for the week, and shoot for brands that are making a difference in the world, all while having the space to pursue my own projects and share more of what matters most to me, humanity and what it means to truly connect.
I am a storyteller, an ocean lover, an artist,
a mother, a friend, a partner, an entrepreneur, and an athlete, I’m a free dive instructor, a writer, photographer, and most of all a human.
So if you’re looking to be inspired, cheered on, or reminded that who you are holds value, that your dream is worth chasing, that humanity holds value and that you are counted among humanity, then can I just say, I’m so glad you’re here.
I really would love to connect, so if you’re a fellow creative looking to chat about the creative space or book a mentoring session, if you’re a human looking to join me on an adventure, if you are here cause you love the stories of humanity, or something else, I’d love to hear from you and hear how I can cheer YOU on!
So send me a message and let’s chat about your story.
Sincerely, Your fellow human
Lianna
