I’m Leslie.
I take pictures.
I laugh and smile a lot.
I also love to serve others.
(And in case you’re wondering, Her name is Ellie.)
I could talk about the technical stuff, how I have a background in journalism and went to art school, that I've been doing this for a long time, and what kind of equipment I use, but that doesn't really matter. A solid connection with my clients comes from shared values so it's important we know each other.
a few facts about me
I love animals, but I am not a pet person, per se. I love for animals to live animal lives, as in free to run around and play and rest wherever they want. Our dogs freely roam the 40+ acres our family owns out here in Deep East Texas. In the picture with me is our Italian Maremma Sheepdog named Ellie when we first got her. We also have a three-legged Border Collie named Molly.
I love being active, and I especially love running. Long runs, speedwork, you name it—I love it all. I’ve run 2 half marathons, 1 full marathon, and countless 5Ks with more to come. Not only does running help me to take care of my physical health, but it also gives me a productive outlet to handle stress.
I push myself to be an open, honest person, and it’s so hard ‘cause I'm fighting my tendency to be reserved. I often have to remind myself that to have good friends, I have to be a good friend. And friends trust each other with the good, the bad, and the ugly.
I am quite the cliche since my husband Will(iam) and I are best friends and a team. We enjoy doing everything, including work, together every day. I feel I am and I try to be the best version of myself with him and for him, and I love serving God by his side.
