Curating family legacies, through Journalistic photo & video
Every family has a unique story to tell. As a trained journalist, my job is to get the story. I ask the right questions at the right time, and make sure those stories get told — time and again — through photography, videography, and Family Time Capsules.
Making memories is easier said than done. We all have busy lives, family squabbles, and that one aunt who simply refuses to pose for a photo. It’s easy to forget that tomorrow is never guaranteed, and that there might not be a next time. This is where I come in.
As a Family Legacy Curator, I document your family’s story in a way that’s succinct, captivating, and meant to endure. Your Family Time Capsule will be one story: your family’s. This precious story is preserved in curated cloud storage where your memories will live untarnished, and grow as your family does.
Whether you’re here to ensure your wedding is impeccably photographed, or you have an event or “just because” family moment to set into family heirlooms, discover it here.
(Hint: they don’t have to!)
You have a story to tell. What will you lose if your stories are forgotten?

“Seriously, there is no greater hype woman than Lesly! She will make you feel like a million bucks. We knew immediately after that shoot that we wanted her for our wedding. She is not only good at focusing on the couple, she is really great at directing a crowd (which is VERY important when you have a large wedding party). Lesly made the whole process a breeze! We are so thankful for her and her talent!”
-Jessica Gurgainous
“Her photos truly are dreamy and we know that we will be cherishing them for the rest of our lives. Not only is Lesly incredibly talented, but she also knows how to make you feel comfortable and pose you just right for photos. If you are looking for a photographer, please look no further. You won't find better than her!”
- Carol Anderson
“Throughout the whole planning process we were very impressed with her thoroughness, follow-through and overall organization that really made us feel we got so much for our money. Her warm and bubbly personality put us at ease on the day of our actual photo session and made us feel comfortable and happy in front of the camera. And the photos...truly gorgeous, so much more beautiful than we ever dreamed of getting. We are just so happy with the whole experience and, especially, the beautiful photos we will cherish for a lifetime.”
