Let me capture your family

Think back to looking at your own photos from childhood. Do you prefer the posed, perfectly dressed images in a studio, or do you prefer the photos of you with cake batter all over your face in the messy kitchen where you can admire your mother’s stylish decor and the trends of that era? I know I prefer the latter — I’m so glad I have proof of our butter colored kitchen with indigo colored carpet in the kitchen. Yes — carpet in the kitchen! Who wants to forget THAT?

These are the things I want to capture for your families — not just the kids’ smiles and the sweet moments between siblings and parents (and pets!), but also the homes you live in and yes, the messiness of life. These full stories are what make up our best memories and are what I want to capture for you.

“Leslie took what felt like a sh*t show with our toddler and newborn at our messy house and made us look like well-rested GOOP models. Hire her!”

“Leslie is so good at reading the room, making you feel comfortable and truly speaking to what represents you and your family. Every time we get pictures or videos back we are blown away!”

– Molly & Tara

“You captured the essence of Roman at age two... the independence, the hint of mischief. Sometimes it's hard to take a step back and really see who he is, as he's a changeling and every day is different. I'm so glad I have your photos to hold on to, as who knows what iteration of Roman will be next.”
