HERE’S THE DEAL

And I’m ready to tell your story through my lens

powered by coffee + golden light

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.

Lets chat about your photos

A FEW OF

my favourite things

Being a Mama.

I’m a mama to an energetic, cheeky, train-loving son. Motherhood has expanded my heart and patience more than anything else, and I feel incredibly lucky that he chose me to be his mama.

Exploring the world

I will happily spend a good portion of my income on airline tickets and travel experiences. Some favourites: hiking the W trail in Patagonia, wandering the streets of Rome at midnight, flying into the Siberian Valley in New Zealand and jet boating out, soaking up the sun in Nice, France, summers in Lake Tahoe with my family, and road-tripping in a VW bus to Tofino on Vancouver Island.

Catching waves

I’m an early riser by nature, which comes in handy because dawn patrol is one of my favourite things. Catching waves on my longboard as the sun rises over the water is pure bliss and a form of meditation. It’s the perfect way to start the day.

A moment of Calm

Yoga has been my anchor for over a decade, a place to find breath, balance, and a gentle reminder to come back to my body. I did my teacher training long ago, but ultimately I decided to keep the practice for myself.

What it’s like working with me

    I loved working with Leslie! She was professional, fun and I felt so comfortable in front of the camera. And the pictures turned out better than I even imagined! I highly recommend working with her!

    Working with Leslie is a dream. She made the whole process easy, fun, and relaxed—even for a camera-shy family like ours. She worked wonders with our small kids and gave us a beautiful snapshot in time we're so grateful for.
