Your Most Cherished Moments: Proposals, Weddings, Mitvahs, Engagements, Families, & Much More
The Ranch Laguna Beach
Hey there, I'm Leslie ...
Let's live in the moment.
For over 25 years I've had the joy of photographing weddings, mitzvahs, special events, and family portraits — capturing the quiet pauses, bursts of laughter, the glances that say everything — and all the beautifully unscripted moments in between.​​
I was inspired early on by my grandmother, "Nana," who was never without her Brownie Hawkeye camera. She lovingly documented all the holidays and milestones on those yellow rolls of Kodak film. Then we would eagerly wait for the envelope full of fresh photos to return from the drug store. The immediacy of digital photography has changed the type of excitement, but I still can't wait to get back to my studio to pop the memory cards into my computer to view the results of a shoot.​
​​To me, photography isn’t just about creating images. It’s about connection, trust, and telling your story with honesty and heart. I bring a calm, grounding presence to every photographic assignment, helping you feel comfortable, seen, and free to be yourselves. I know when to step in, and when to simply let the moment unfold — always with care, always with intention. I'm drawn to the real, honest emotions and fleeting moments that make your day unforgettable.
​
Clients often tell me I felt more like a friend than a photographer — someone who intuitively understood the rhythm of the day, brought a sense of ease and calm to it all, and made the experience smoother, easier, and a whole lot more fun.
​
With a trained eye and an open heart, I create photographs that feel real, timeless, and truly you. If that speaks to you, I’d be honored to help tell your story.

STORIES
Every couple carries a story unlike any other — filled with moments of joy, tenderness, and connection. The most beautiful part of my work is telling stories of others falling in love, being loved, and surrounded by love. What you’ll see here are glimpses of those stories, each one as unique as the love behind it ... moments that become memories, and memories that last a lifetime.
