    💕Complimentary photos for high-risk shelters and terminally ill dogs

Hey, I’m Lesley

  • Family is everything. Going through the loss of close family members taught me just how short life really is. When our time here ends, all that remains are the photos and videos we leave behind. I’m so thankful for my mom and dad for capturing my childhood. Now it’s my turn. :)

    When I’m not working:

    I love connecting with people and supporting great causes. My heart goes out to animals, so I offer pro bono work for high-risk dog shelters and terminally ill pets.

  • AUTHENTIC moments over perfection.

    You want your life captured authentically. I shoot with Super 8 film, camcorders, and deliver unedited photos because it’s nostalgic and REAL. I’ll catch all the fun stuff so you can just enjoy being with your family.

    Don't worry, I won't just leave you hanging to figure out poses on your own! I’ll give you guidance and direction when you need it, but my main focus is capturing the genuine moments as they happen. The goal is a final film that feels completely, genuinely you.

  • How It Works:

    1. Reach Out: Send me a message through my contact form to share your vision and check my availability.

    2. Quick Chat: We’ll hop on a quick call to talk details, make sure we’re a good fit, and answer all your questions.

    3. Lock It In: Ready to book? I’ll send the contract and invoice over. The minimum investment to book services is $500.*Excludes Candid Pups*

    4. Session Day: This is the fun part! Just be yourselves, I’ll be there to catch all the real, messy, beautiful moments you'll want to keep forever.

FAQs

I get asked these things a lot.
Maybe it’s on your mind, too?

  • I’m excited to work with you! Feel free to mix and match multiple services to create your perfect session. To get on my calendar, the combined total of your selected services must reach the $500 minimum.*No minimum for Candid Pups*

    Once we’ve got your package set, I’ll just need a signed contract and a non-refundable 30% retainer to officially save your date!

    • Super 8: Delivered within 6-8 weeks

    • Camcorder: Delivered within 2-4 weeks

    • Unedited Photos: Delivered within 24 hours

    • Edited Photos : Delivered within 2-4 weeks after photo selection.

  • Travel within 20 miles of 92831 (Fullerton, CA) or 92352 (Lake Arrowhead, CA) is included in my standard packages. For locations beyond this radius, a travel fee applies to cover time and transportation costs.

    • Speed & Transparency: Delivering unedited photos allows you to see every moment from your session almost immediately.

    • Flexibility: Whether you prefer to edit your own photos or want me to professionally edit your favorites, the choice is yours. :)

    • How do I request edits?
      Browse your unedited gallery and provide the file names of the images you would like edited. A custom quote will be provided based on the number of photos selected.

    • To secure a new date: I will apply your existing retainer and all payments made to a new date, provided I am available. I ask that you give me as much notice as possible.

    • Availability: If I am unavailable for your new date, the retainer is non-refundable, as I held your original date exclusively and likely turned away other potential clients.

    • Fees: A rescheduling fee may apply if the new date is a premium day (like a Saturday) or if the new date is more than one year after the original event date.

  • While I plan to be there no matter what, life happens! In the super rare case of an emergency, I’ve got you covered with two choices:

    1. A trusted associate steps in: I’ll send a pro from my network to step in and handle everything seamlessly.

    2. A full refund: If you’d prefer, we will provide a complete refund of all payments made.

    Either way, I’ll make sure you’re taken care of, so you don’t have to worry about a thing.
