I’m a personal brand and lifestyle photographer dedicated to helping women own their gifts, celebrate their unique stories, and expand their impact in the world.
I am more than just a photographer, and a photoshoot is about more than just photos. Whether you’re building a business, celebrating motherhood, or capturing a special milestone in your life, I’m here to tell your story in a way that feels authentic and fun.
These moments are more than just snapshots—they’re a reflection of your journey, your growth, and the connections that matter most.
Welcome. Aloha. G’Day.
I’m Leslie, an international photographer, writer, free-spirit, surfer, travel addict and book nerd. I’m a US transplant and live on Wadawurrung country (Surf Coast) in Victoria, Australia.
Nothing fuels me more than supporting women who are passionately pursuing their dreams. Alright if I’m being honest - coffee, community, exploring in nature, travelling, and collaborating with fellow creatives fuels me pretty well too!
When I’m not behind the camera, you can find me playing at the beach with my family, practising my cross-step, at a yoga class, absorbed in a library book, or shopping for plants and op-shop treasures.
Photography Services
Personal Branding
Your personal branding shoot is as unique as you and your business. There is no set location, no list of must-have props, and no two mood boards look the same. Each photoshoot is customised to you and your needs, and I’ll be your guide and co-creator each step of the way.
Motherhood
Motherhood is a wild, raw and beautiful ride. Whether you’re pregnant with your first or chasing after toddlers, these moments with your babes are precious and fleeting. Capturing this journey is a way to preserve the moments you never want to forget. Let’s capture the magic, and messiness, of motherhood.
Lifestyle
Do you want to capture a special milestone? Celebrate your body? Honour a big transition or personal evolution? Want a portrait with a bit of pizazz? Or a water session to document your surf skills? Maybe you have a creative vision that just won’t leave you alone and you’re ready to bring it to life. I’m here for all of it. I’m here for you.

“What is the greatest lesson a woman should learn
that since day one
she's already had everything she needs within herself
it's the world that convinced her she did not”
― Rupi Kaur
Are you looking for a photography mentor?
I help photographers ditch the imposter syndrome and go from stuck and frustrated to confident and booking clients.
‘Guide on the Side’ is a 75-minute, 1:1 session where we chat about where you’re at in your business and where you want to go. Whether you need help with shooting, editing, marketing, or mindset, I’m an open book and here to help you.
“ I felt so comfortable and at ease in our photography session. Leslie really helped ground the energy and provided a safe space for authentic expression to shine! We got all the pre-planned photos that I desired and some of my favorites were the impromptu shots!
I can’t recommend Leslie more highly. She is professional, fun, REAL, authentic, soulful, present… it’s everything and more that I’d seek in someone to work with.
I felt totally seen and expanded in my own expression and “vision of self.” This process has even transferred to my day-to-day life to show up in a higher, more aligned way! So blessed to share this experience with her and have the images captured!” - Brittany
I’m a photographer…
but I’m also an innate connector, gentle space holder, and small biz cheerleader. I will always encourage and empower you to pursue the path that makes your palms sweat and your heart beat uncomfortably fast. No matter where you are on your entrepreneurial journey, you need imagery that captures the essence of who you are and what you do. Because you and your purposeful work matter, and it’s time to share your gifts with the world.
Leslie is truly amazing!
I felt comfortable and empowered the whole shoot.
“The whole experience was amazing, from our initial meeting to the onboarding process, right through to shoot day and then the end product, I could not fault Leslie once! Her insight and ability to make you feel confident in front of the camera is an art. If I could give 10 out of 5 stars I would!” - Angela, Awkwardly Social Media
