About Leslie

branding photography

The key to brand photography is being able to capture the combined personality of a business itself and of each individual behind the business. Leslie’s approach to brand photography goes deeper than the surface-level headshot, and draws out the unique intricacies that make each business unique. Branding options range from working with Leslie alone to bringing on the full team of experts, including hair and makeup and creative direction from a prop and wardrobe stylist.

maternity and family photography

Constantly propelled by the question of how she herself would like to be photographed, Leslie’s family portraiture reflects the unique perspective of a both a mother and an artist. She combines candids and posed portraits to create a robust gallery for each family in every setting.

boudoir photography

Everyone says the same thing at the beginning: I’ve never done this before. I’m so nervous. What does this feel like?

At the end of every session it’s the same: That was amazing. I feel so exhilarated. When can we do this again?

Each boudoir session includes an initial creative process resulting in a final moodboard tailored to your unique aesthetic. A PDF boudoir prep guide helps prepare you for the session and answers all your questions, so that by the time your session arrives you are ready to be pampered and photographed. All boudoir collections include hair and makeup in the studio and a deluxe velvet cover album or print box.
