Newborn Photos | Northwest Arkansas | Baby Eloise

Sigh. I cannot even EXPLAIN to you how I almost died of cuteness when meeting this little one at her newborn photos session! I’ve been (almost) as excited as Mom Jessica and Dad Nate – I had the honor of photographing their pregnancy announcement/gender reveal, and the lovely maternity shoot that followed. You can peep […]

Outdoor October Wedding | Cody + Kaitlyn | Cedar Valley Event Center | Pineville, Missouri

The wedding was gorgeous. There’s just no other way to put it. What’s more lovely than an outdoor wedding in October, in front of a waterfall no less? Fairytales y’all.

Mercy Hosptial NWA | Fresh 48 | Zac and Bethany

Northwest Medical Center Bentonville | Fresh 48 | Kyle & Amanda

Aside from getting the first peek at this darling baby, Fresh 48 sessions and their lifestyle-documentary form embody all that I love about photography.  There is an abundance of emotion.  Time stands still and NOTHING exists outside of that room.  There is only peace and love and joy.

Northwest Arkansas | Maternity Session By The Creek | Hunter and Maggie

I have been enamored with photography since I was a child; I spent a lot of time at my grandmother’s house and she would let me take endless photos with her Polaroid.  It wasn’t until I became a mother that I started really pursuing photography.  Mostly, I wanted to be able to take REALLY GOOD […]

ABOUT leslie

Now that I'm a mom, I know the secret: we don't know everything. We are growing and changing, right alongside our little ones. 
Motherhood changes us in ways we never expected.

My days may seem filled with NERF bullets, diapers, and endless laundry, but they are really filled with moments of profound connection and love as I raise my babies.

Through my lens, I strive to celebrate the beauty of motherhood in all its forms. From the messy chaos to the quiet moments, I want to honor the sacred bond between you and your child and capture the joy and wonder that it brings.

LET'S mAKE
