ABOUT leslie
Now that I’m a mom, I know the truth: we’re all just figuring it out—running on not enough sleep and way too much caffeine.
My days are a blur of NERF battles, diaper changes, and never-ending laundry, but they’re also full of tiny, beautiful moments I never want to forget. That’s why I photograph—because I know how quickly it all goes, and how hazy it feels when you're in it. Photos become proof of the love we were too tired to put into words.
Through my lens, I help other moms hold on to the details: the eyelashes, the grip of a tiny hand, the way they looked at you when you were their whole world.
