Making the ordinary moments unforgettable.

Offered personally by the founder of Bird and Clay, our custom photography sessions capture the quiet, meaningful moments that make life beautiful. Using a thoughtful blend of digital and film photography, each session balances clarity and timeless texture, preserving warmth, authenticity, and the subtle magic of life’s fleeting, slow moments. Ideal for lifestyle, family, and personal photography, our sessions are crafted to create lasting memories you’ll treasure.

So glad you’re here.

Families and kids are at the heart of my photography, while I also capture other quiet, meaningful moments that celebrate connection and everyday life.

If my style speaks to you, send me a note—I’d love to bring your story to life.

  • Doing a photoshoot with Leslie was so easy and fun. She great at giving directions to get the shot you want and makes you comfortable while doing it. Beyond that, the pictures turned out great! We’ve had the pleasure of her marking several life events for us including pregnancy, newborn, and family photo shoots!

  • We've had the absolute pleasure of working with Leslie twice now, first for our proposal/engagement photos (which we turned into our save the dates), and ears later our family portraits - and both experiences were amazing! She has such a gift for making everyone feel comfortable and natural in front of the camera, which really shows in the photos. I can't recommend Leslie enough to anyone looking for a talented, patient, and creative photographer. She truly has a talent for capturing life's most meaningful moments!
