Episode 46 | Leavitt Wells-Baumgartner

In Ep. 46 Kylee Shields talks with her friend Leavitt about her service dog, Bear, her horse, Koba and about the life of a traveling photographer, and more.ABOUT OUR GUEST: Leavitt Wells is a concert and theater photographer who works where most people can’t — in the dark. Specializing in low-light live performance, she captures the split-second expressions, movement, and connections that make concerts and theatrical productions unforgettable.Her career has taken her to arenas, amphitheaters, and theaters all over the world, documenting artists and productions at the highest level. She is known for moving seamlessly through high-energy, high-pressure environments while staying deeply attuned to the story unfolding on stage — watching for the moments that most people miss.But for Leavitt, the work has never just been about the stage. Spending so much time in loud rooms and behind bright lights has shaped her understanding of belonging — what it feels like to stand on the edges of something powerful, to witness it without needing to be the center of it. Photography has taught her to be present, to notice, and to honor stories as they unfold.Offstage, belonging looks different. It’s being home and being in a place where she strives to make everyone around her feel wanted, needed and loved. It looks like life with her husband, Jeremy, her sweet service dog, Bear, and preparing to welcome their first child any day now.ABOUT OUR GUEST:LISTEN/SUBSCRIBE TO “The Belonging Place” PODCAST:*YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@TheBelongingPlace *Apple Music - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-belonging-place-with-kylee-shields/id1736354936 *Spotify - https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-belonging-place CONNECT WITH “THE BELONGING PLACE”All Links: https://thebelongingplace.komi.io/ *Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/the_belonging_place/ *TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@thebelongingplace?lang=en *YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@TheBelongingPlace *Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/TheBelongingPlacePodcast/ CONNECT WITH KYLEE SHIELDS*website:http://www.leaveittoleavitt.com*Facebook:*Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/leaveittoleavitt?igsh=c2hhazc0MWNnMTF2&utm_source=qrPRODUCTION CREDITS:Intro/Outro Music: Kimberly Knighton https://www.instagram.com/kimberlyknightonmusic/ Recorded at Mindset Content Creation StudiosProduced by Tommy MooreBrought to you by Vodcasts by Tommy Moore Presents - https://www.instagram.com/vodcasts_by_tommymoore/
