Tell me what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?
-Mary Oliver

Howdy, I'm Leslie
I work in the mediums of movement, light, and emotion. Movement brings you into a moment. When looking at a photo of movement, your brain naturally completes the circuit. It understands the movement of a hug and the flow of wind. You can’t help but be brought into the story, however small, of a movement being completed. Light is truly the medium of photography. Everything that happens inside a camera is a way of adjusting the light. It is the photographer’s greatest ally (and sometimes their worst enemy). Emotion helps a viewer to know how to interact with the time and place of a photograph. Are we being invited into an intimate, still moment? Are we sharing in the couples’ laughter? Is this moment painful or exciting? The small intricacies of emotion tell a more complete version of Happily Ever After. These elements inform and drive my photography!
