Shani Arlee

Hi, I’m Shani Arlee (formerly Leead). I’m a family photographer, abstract illustrator, and content marketer.

Below you’ll find my latest blog posts consisting of my illustrations, photography, and a combo of the two. I like to talk about the important stuff like love, mental health, and art.

In the navigation above, you’ll find links to my work. I hope you enjoy perusing my site, and feel free to reach out to ask me anything or even just to say hi!
