10 Fun Facts About Leslie You Might Not Know

Hey there, lovelies! 👋 I’m Leslie, the face behind the camera capturing your cherished memories. You probably know me best for my love of golden-hour light and my knack for taming even the sassiest toddlers into adorable smiles. But there’s so much more to me beyond the lens! Here are 10 fun facts to help you get to know me better.

🌿 1. Alaska Is My Playground

I’m lucky enough to call Alaska home, and its rugged beauty is my creative playground. Whether I’m photographing a family against a snow-capped mountain or chasing the perfect light along a forest trail, I’m constantly inspired by this wild, breathtaking landscape.

📷 2. I’m a Daydreamer with a Camera

Photography isn’t just my job—it’s my passion. I’m obsessed with light, texture, and emotion. My goal? To tell your story through timeless, artful images that transport you back to that fleeting moment every time you look at them.

🎨 3. I’m a Creative at Heart

When I’m not holding my camera, I’m probably beading, painting, or finding some other creative outlet. I believe that creativity is like a muscle—the more you use it, the stronger it gets!

🥾 4. I’m an Adventurer

Whether it’s hiking remote trails or discovering hidden gems while camping, I’m always up for an adventure. It’s probably why I have such a soft spot for outdoor family sessions—they combine my love of exploration with my love for storytelling.

☕ 5. Coffee Is My Love Language

I’m a total coffee enthusiast. Whether I’m sipping a local brew in Eagle River or making a fancy cold brew at home, coffee is my creative fuel (and my secret to keeping up with energetic toddlers during sessions 😉).

🐾 6. Animals Make Me Melt

I have a soft spot for furry friends, and I’ve been known to include dogs in family shoots whenever possible. If your pup is part of your family, bring them along—I’ll be the first to sneak in some extra treats for them.

🎵 7. Music Fuels My Creativity

I have an ever-growing playlist for my editing sessions. From soulful folk tunes to indie rock, music helps me tap into the mood and feel of your photos.

🛫 8. I Love to Travel

Exploring new places and cultures is one of my biggest inspirations. Whether it’s capturing the vibrant streets of a new city, discovering new mountains snowboarding, snorkeling in tropical waters, or the quiet serenity of the Alaskan wilderness, traveling keeps my creative spark alive.

🍂 9. I’m a Fall Fanatic

I’m obsessed with fall—the colors, the crisp air, and the golden light. It’s hands-down my favorite season for photoshoots. (Pro tip: if you’re planning a session, fall is magical in Alaska!)

💖 10. My Clients Are My Inspiration

Cliche but true! Seeing your reactions when you receive your images or hearing how they brought back memories is what keeps me going. Your stories fuel my creativity, and I’m so grateful to be the one capturing them.

✨ Thank you for trusting me with your precious moments. Whether we’re capturing your growing family, your love story, or your new adventure, I’m honored to be part of it. If you’re ready for your next photoshoot—or just want to say hi—reach out anytime.
