This Friday marks my 29th year of life...29 years! I love it! My twenties have been a blast...no complaints or regrets here! I lived in New York and then ventured off to Hawaii, came back home and met my husband, fell in love and have a beautiful little girl who makes my heart melt. I am so blessed to be here and to be a mom, wife, daughter, sister and a photographer :)
I am so grateful for the talent that God has blessed me with and I love sharing it with
each of you.
So in honor of my birthday I am giving away a mini session! Woot Woot! On my birthday I will announce the winner here on my blog! To enter, go here and "like" my photography page on Facebook and leave a comment here on my blog. Make sure to share my birthday giveaway with your friends...if I get over 50 comments here on my blog then I will give away TWO mini sessions to two lucky people!!
See you back here on Friday when I announce the winner!! Have a great week! xoxo
Below is a beautiful little 6 week old that I had the honor of photographing...

It was such a pleasure to cross paths with this amazing photog! It seems so long ago you purchased that sweet little 40's turquoise bonnet and dress from my shoppe on etsy. When I saw the results of your little subject in that golden field of grass, I was HOOKED. You are without a question the most talented child photographer I have seen. An amazing passion you must have. I love seeing your work! Linda Diaz De Leon-San Diego

Hello Leslie, Happy Birthday! I read your birthday post on my friend Allyssa Galat's Facebook. What a generous thing to do. Usually on our birthdays we receive gifts, but instead you are giving the gift of your amazing photography. I personally had never seen your photography, but had heard so many great things. I am happy I finally was able to see your work. It is amazing :) Allyssa has said amazing things about your photography! The pictures of Madison are adorable! She must be so fun to photograph she is such a doll. Hope your birthday is fabulous and hope to meet you soon! -Ryann Bell

Hello, I know about you through Katie Dixon facebook post, she is always posting the cutest pictures (taken by you) :)...I visited your Blog a while back to learn more about the photographer behind those awesome shots..and after reading Katie's post about a chance to win a mini session with you , I went to your Blog to find out more about it....but what caught my attention more then the chance to win a "mini photo session" was the story about when you found out you had cervical cancer.....as you were describing it I was picturing it and can't even imagine that feeling.....so what I'm trying to say is THANK YOU for that kind REMINDER as I haven't been to that kind of appoinment since before I had my son ,,,he is 18 months now and I never went back for my postpartum appointment (i know , not good)....So ..thank yOu! because right after reading your post I was like" wow, I soooo need to make an appointmen" ....you won't need to call for me though :) - Edith Spears-
