• Welcome to my Photography Blog!

    Hi, I'm Leslie. I'm a natural light photographer and shoot on location in Belleville, Quinte, Prince Edward County and surrounding areas.

    I photograph moms, dads, babies, bellies, children, families, pets, events... and everything in between. I love seeing people as they are and I am passionate about capturing beauty and the special moments that make life grand!

    Take some time and look around. This blog is my spot to show you a bit about me and a bunch about the kind of photographer I am. Check back often as I share photo sneak peeks for clients and a glimpse into my own life once in a while too.

Summer’s Here

School is just about out. What a busy Spring I’ve had although the blog has gone very neglected lately. I took a position as Editor of a local magazine and have been busy with photo shoots, editorial work and getting things in order for it’s release in September. It is a very exciting opportunity that came to me when I least expected it and I’m very much enjoying it. I will still be available and eager to photograph all my clients – I will just have more limited time to do it. If you are interested in a summer time session, please give me a call or email and I will do my very best for you. I’ll let you know about the magazine once news of it has been released to the public!

Also, I have some time in the next few weeks for any moms out there that would like special photos of their kids taken to commemorate Grade 8 or Highschool Graduation. I am doing a mini session on Tuesday of a teen in her pretty Grad dress and I admit working with teens is one of my favourite parts of this job. If you would like photos that capture this moment in time for your growing teen, I am offering a couple different (limited time) Mini Session packages. Pricing starts at $75 and I have a few different print packages available. A complete package including session & select digital files  is only $225.

Contact me if you are interested.

Happy Holidays

It is indeed a very busy time of year for a photographer. The fall season was a wonderful whirlwind and I send many thanks to my loyal clients. This past week I’ve celebrated 2 of my children’s birthdays and now we are full-on in “Christmas mode”. I love this time of year so much! It was so busy this Fall that the “Lightfoots” never got around to getting our own family photos done for Christmas cards. Luckily I had lots of photos from throughout the year of my 3 beautiful kids… and so I pulled them together for a collaged greeting of sorts.

Wishing all of you (my clients past, present and future!) the very best this holiday season. Hope to see many of you in 2012!

Cheers and Merry Christmas. Leslie.

*M* Family . Belleville, Quinte Area Photographer

Take a look at this family and you will see a family that truly enjoys each other. The kids are fun and sweet as can be and it is pretty obvious that they adore their mom and dad. Bailey is a super little hockey player… full of energy and drive. I love the photos of him where you can see a little bit of mischief in his eyes. Paige, who usually runs away from my camera was so good and surprised me with how willing she was to show me her beautiful smile.   

They are a gorgeous family and were so fun to photograph. We met up at Presquile Park in Brighton and drove around looking for spots where the wind wouldn’t blow us over. All were great sports out in the cold. Enjoy your sneak peek Jenn and Scott! Hope it was worth the wait!:)

During this session in Prince Edward County, I got to meet these 2 most-handsome little boys. We talked about hockey and animals and school and a million other things. They had personality plus and I love photographing kids like that.

Michelle, I hope you enjoy your sneak peek. It was my pleasure to come to your home and photograph your lovely family.

A good friend and my very first ‘official’ client back when I started this business… Melissa and her beautiful family have a special spot in my heart. I love photographing them. For starters, they are all gorgeous! Secondly, her kids are chock full of personality. They have fun and their character really shows through in photos. Lil’ Miss red-head is all spunky and tomboy – a quirky little character with a style all her own. Her beautiful older sis is stunning with blue eyes that sparkle and a soft and pretty smile.

Enjoy your sneak peek Mel. Love ya! This first photo is my new favourite. How on earth can she squat in such a funny + fabulous way!?
