hi, I’m leslie!
Hi there! I’m Leslie, and I currently live in Nashville, with roots in Knoxville, TN and Santa Barbara, CA. I’m 23 years old, a UTK alum (go Vols!), and have a deep love for anything vintage, fashion, and colorful. My journey with photography began when I started carrying around a disposable camera my sophomore year of college. I found such joy in capturing the everyday chaotic moments with my friends and sharing them with others.
My taste was significantly refined and pushed when I lived in Santa Barbara, CA, during my junior year of college. Being surrounded by so much creativity and individuality in the people around me pushed the boundaries of my work and grew my passion for film photography.
I find myself continuously inspired by the people I love, color, light and shadows, and deep emotion.
My work is a product of the way I notice the world and the joy I find in others. I draw endless inspiration from film, cinema, and music - the common factor I find in all of these things is the way they make me feel. And ultimately, that is what I am after: capturing how a moment, a love, a celebration, whatever it may be, feels.
