Meet Leslie

The person behind the lens

Your new hype girl!

I am 30 yrs old, born and raised in North Carolina, married to my best friend for 8 years now, and we had our beautiful daughter in January 2020, right before the pandemic. I am all about hyping up my clients! SERIOUSLY! It's my job to make you feel comfortable and confident when your in front of my camera. I want to make you feel so comfy that the photos are pure, in the moment magic, and I always add an editorial touch to them to make them feel like they're from a movie!  I did my own little photoshoot as you can see and I did this to show my clients, and any one out there that you can get in front of the camera and absolutely kill it! You just need the right direction sometimes ;) . After all, I do consider myself a director at times because I set scenes for my clients to feel that in the moment magic.

My business does keep me pretty busy, but I wouldn’t trade my busy life for anything. When I'm not behind the lens I am either running after my little one, shopping at local shops, watching sunsets on the beach, jamming to the oldies, lana, jazz, or my Ratchet hype music; watching Nancy Meyers movies (I am a hopeless romantic so really any romantic movies), eating pasta, drinking wine, or traveling or dreaming about traveling.

I have been capturing memories as long as I can remember but I made my passion into a business in 2017. I am based out of Greensboro, NC but travel wherever you take me.

Thank you for your interest in booking with me! I cannot wait to meet you and capture your special moment in time and preserve your memories! Lets work together! 

xoxo, Leslie

MY PHOTOGRAPHY STORY

2013

2016

2017

2019

2022

I still remember when I got my first camera at 12. Granted this camera was just for taking fun pictures with friends and what we now refer to as selfies but that's when my obsession started. Fast forward to 2013, and when I started to get creative with my camera

I purchased a 35mm Cannon in 2016 and fell in love with the beauty of film and all of its glory, so I started taking pictures of my friends and realized I wanted to turn it into a business.

Early 2017 I got a Pentax medium format camera and started my photography business. Although I still worked in healthcare primarily. 

Over the years my need for a digital camera grew and finally I bought my Mark IV in late 2019.

I went Full time with my business in 2022. My gear now consists of Canon R6 Mark II, with my lenses 50mm, 35mm, 28-70mm, and my film cameras. They are definitely my treasures, and I love the new look I have created with them. 

Let's document that beautiful moment of yours!
