It feels like it’s been a while since I’ve properly introduced myself.

I’m Leah—the person behind Wildona Productions.

I started taking photography seriously a little over three years ago, and somewhere along the way it grew into something much bigger than I ever expected. This year I rebranded to Wildona Productions, a name created by combining my two kids’ names. It felt like the right way to build something that reflects both my work and the people who inspire it most.

I create both photo and video, but I don’t really see myself as just a photographer or videographer. I’m drawn to the entire creative process—from developing concepts and styling to directing and telling stories that feel intentional and honest.

More than creating beautiful work, I genuinely love working with people. I love collaborating, sharing ideas, learning from others, and building relationships through creativity.

I believe there’s room for all of us. Staying open, vulnerable, and willing to encourage each other is so much more important than treating creativity like a competition.

At the end of the day, the work matters—but it’s the people you create it with that make it unforgettable.

Thanks for following along. I’m really glad you’re here.

Also love these videos by @samuelpletsgo ❤️

Announcing our 2026/27 PRISMATIC Season 🌈🪞

RDC’s 8th Season in St. Louis highlights the expansive spectrum of artistic experience that can emerge from a single source. Like a prism, RDC’s creative intentions are multifaceted - work that is experimental and virtuosic, that celebrates collective artistry and individual voices, that grounds in St. Louis and bridges to new communities.

Throughout the 2026/27 Season, RDC will engage an array of artistic voices and collaborative models, bending light across disciplines and programs to reveal the rich, interwoven spectrum of our shared humanity. We invite you to experience the brilliant and breathtaking range of artistic expression in RESILIENCE Dance Company's 2026/27 Prismatic Season. See you at the theater!

It always hits different when your friends are doing something special and even more when they bring you into it.

Had the chance to shoot photos for @samuelpletsgo new album that dropped today. He had the idea and we leaned into a wild fisheye look and it came out exactly how we envisioned it.

Proud of you, man. This one’s a real one and I appreciate you trusting me to be part of it

Our Terrain. You were my baby. The first short documentary I was able to bring across the finish line as a director. I’m so grateful for the experience of making this film, which is now available online for everyone to watch.

There is a big list of people to thank. First off - Shalini, Chuck, Lisa, Hayden, and the entire @terraintrailrunners_stl - for allowing me to step into your lives and document the race.

@r.meyer_ @fathomstudios - for saying yes to a crazy idea and giving your full support for the whole journey.

@rickieross5 @alex.fagin @samuelpletsgo - the OG crew who said yeah let’s hike around with big cameras and stand for hours in the freezing rain all night to tell this story.

@wildandcurious @bman_brooks and Walter Wimmer-Brown for jumping in on camera and lighting support to make this project look extra nice.

@adamlambmusic @clarkgriffiths @danedickmann - Members of our post team who dedicated time and talent to bring it all together.

The many friends and colleagues who watched cuts and gave feedback and lifted me up when I fell into the dark hole of “will this film ever be done, let alone good?” - you know who you are - and I wouldn’t be on this side without you.

@trailfilmfest - for providing grant funding to help us tell this story. You helped make it possible and we got to have a wonderful festival run because of your commitment to telling these stories.

The film now belongs to all of you. You can head to Terrain Trail Runners YouTube to give it a watch. ❤️
