a girl and her camera

my photography has been an outward manifestation of an inward journey. the journey to be seen fresh and anew as the rising sun of each day. glowing in brilliance, with the past behind me, and the excitement of a future unknown. we all long to be seen through the lens of another that won’t judge us, but accept us for the vision and beauty that we possess, right here, right now. with every image, we carry the power to make the ordinary extraordinary, and breathe new life into that which otherwise may be overlooked.


i thank God for the unique opportunity to change the world around me by showing you the world that i see. my vision is an instrument of change, memorializing the precious details in life for all times. just like every image has angles that abound, each different from the rest, so too do people have many sides to them, unique in their own right. may all of our eyes be open enough to also see their beauty.

I just returned from one of the most amazing weeks of my "photography" life. =) I taught for a week at a summer arts camp, called Envision U, in Petit Jean Mountain, Arkansas. I had the privilege of teaching 18 students (4 classes a day) the fine art of digital photography, and a smaller group alternative ways of developing prints. The class was called "Take A Shot." The campsite was amazing, the view - a gift from God, and the staff and students inspiring.

This video (6 min.) is the one produced by my students as their final project. They did such a wonderful job and I look forward for similar opportunities in the future. I've also included a group photo, some scenery pics and some of my girls in action - these are some talented kids who I know will one day be famous!

Enjoy! Leslie
