About Leslie

 
 
 

I’m a born-and-raised California girl who’s found roots in Hawaii and the Pacific Northwest before landing on Australia’s Surf Coast (Wadawurrung Country), which I now proudly call home. My heart belongs to the mountains and wild coastlines, and I’m endlessly grateful to live where nature and creativity collide.

I’m a self-taught photographer who thrives on creative collaboration. My style is deeply influenced by natural light, mother Earth, and a passion for telling women’s stories and showcasing their unique gifts.

I believe every woman has brilliance worth celebrating, and my purpose is to help them see it, own it, and share it with the world.

Beyond photography, I host rad events and workshops that bring women together, model, and mentor fellow photographers, helping them find their voice and confidence behind the camera.

Off the business clock, I’m a mama to my energetic son, a lifelong student of yoga, an advocate for simplicity, and a curious explorer. Snail mail, coffee, surfing, op shopping, plants, and road trips in my 1990 Land Cruiser, Betsy, top my love list.

My Values

  • Community

    I’m passionate about building and nurturing meaningful connections. Bringing people together is at the core of everything I do because I truly believe we’re stronger when we collaborate, share, and uplift one another.

  • Authenticity

    It’s not just about being real—it’s about creating genuine connections that can only happen when we’re truly seen and accepted for who we are. Authenticity is the foundation of all meaningful relationships.

  • Creative Expression

    I celebrate the unique magic within each of us and strive to create spaces where creativity can flow freely and without limitations. Everyone has something beautiful to share.

  • Fun

    Life’s too short to take too seriously! I’m committed to making the most of this beautiful ride, enjoying every moment and finding joy in the journey.
