About Leslie
Welcome. Aloha. G’Day.
I’m a born and raised California girl who found roots in both Hawaii and the Pacific Northwest before moving to Australia. My heart belongs in the mountains and on wild coastlines, and I’m unbelievably grateful to call the Surf Coast home.
I’m a self-taught photographer and love embracing candid moments. My style is influenced by a love of natural light and the desire to communicate women’s stories and unique gifts.
Other things I do: host rad events and workshops that bring women together in real life, model , and mentor other photographers.
Business aside - I'm a mama to an energetic toddler, a lifetime student of yoga and meditation, an advocate for simplicity, and a follower of curiosities. Snail mail, coffee, surfing and road trips in my 1990 Landcruiser Betsy all rank high on 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.
-
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.
-
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.
Did You know?
My sun sign is Libra, my moon is in Cancer, and my rising is in Capricorn.
I’m a 1/3 projector, ENFP, and Enneagram Type 7. Translation? I’m an extroverted, optimistic and versatile free-spirit who is always seeking new experiences and adventure.
I lose track of time when I'm behind a camera, reading a great book, or looking for treasures at the plant or op shop.
I don’t go a day without coffee and a hug from my hubby.
I’m still waiting on my acceptance letter from Hogwarts. #teamGryffindor
