Photographs are my memories

I never thought of myself as a designer before the age of 30 until, in reflection, I noticed that in my jobs, I’ve always built things from scratch: lesson plans as a teacher, camp days as a director, and craft photography sessions as a photographer.

In short, I love to create.

I grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area where I spent as much time as possible outside playing soccer, running on the beach, and camping with friends. As an adult, I love exploring and trying new things like living on a glacier in Alaska for two weeks, backpacking with my one year old daughter, scuba diving off the coast of Roatan, Honduras, road tripping the Great Ocean Highway in Australia, ice climbing Mt. Baker, and exploring Ireland and Italy.

As a professional photographer, I spent my first years as a lifestyle and documentary family photographer. As your wedding photographer, I learn about you and your partner in order to design your best day together. I capture the moments of your love and joy that express the unique connection between you and your partner. To me, portraits are a time to connect with your partner, so my directing style leaves you feeling comfortable, relaxed and free.

To bring my passions of photography, outdoors and designing all together is a dream come true. My goal is to capture your true connection in a magical place. I want you to leave your day feeling completely loved.

“Leslie’s a down-to-earth person who will make you comfortable and feel right at home”

“Absolutely stunning! My wife and I have been with Leslie on two adventures, and both days resulted in more than just pictures to result of it. Leslie made such awesome adventures for us to experience and made us feel like we were a part of the family! Highly, highly recommend working with Leslie. She is a professional and expert in planning adventures as well as the photography, and ultimately a down-to-earth person who will make you comfortable and feel right at home... only you may in fact be doing a full day’s hike and adventure. Enjoy! “
