oahu hawaii family + couples PHOTOGRAPHER. WORLDWIDE LOVE STORY CAPTURER.
meet leslie!
If you guessed that I’ve known my husband since middle school, you got it! As a girl who married her middle-school sweetheart, I guess you could say I know a thing or two about soul mates, love stories, and all that.
I personally struggle(ed) with infertility, and I just know the power of wanting to document all the moments (they go fast). I'm very passionate and empowered about being a mama, and I love to bring this energy into my sessions.
When my husband was stationed in Oahu, and I made photography into my career! I was so inspired to use the love of photography that blossomed in me when my son was born to capture the breathtaking connections between familied and couples.

“SHE CAPTURED NOT ONLY OUR SMILES BUT OUR SOULS.”
“WOW! The photos Leslie captured of my husband and me were breathtaking. She made sure we were comfortable and gave us words of encouragement throughout the whole session. If you need someone who’s up for a challenge, creative, makes you feel 100% comfortable, interactive, passionate, or just an AWESOME photographer, she’s it without a doubt.”

Today, I preserve the world’s most incredible love stories. With an eye for detail and a passion for organic prompting, I turn moments spent in front of a camera into one-of-a-kind works of art.
*tire screech* If you just read that and felt your heart rate surge at the prospect of stepping in front of the camera, let’s talk it through. I know what it feels like to be uncertain about your body, especially when there’s a camera turned toward it. Before I moved to Hawaii, I didn’t know how to love my curves or my hair. But once I got there, I learned how freeing it was to embrace every part of who I was, inside and out. And now, even while my body constanty changes, I hold that life lesson close and have used it as the foundation of the client experience I offer today!
When I’m not relaxing on the beach with an acai bowl, I’m probably catching up on Station 19, trying out a new twist on a Colombian recipe with my husband, planning our next trip around the world, or snuggled up with my two dogs and rainbow baby, Nicholas.
But enough about me! With my camera ready and a hot chocolate (never coffee!) in hand, I’m ready to document some of those candid, in between moments, all while serving up the best holiday card photos! Ready to have some fun, count to three, and take the leap?
