PREMIERE FAMILY Photographer in South Bend, IN

“Life changes so quickly, these are the days you’ll want to remember.”


WHO IS THIS EXPERIENCE FOR?

✅ A young family capturing new memories together.

✅ A couple celebrating their love for each other.

✅ Grandparents and families gathering for reunions.

✅ Blended families celebrating love and connection.

Every kind of family, every chapter of life.

One thing we can never get back is

Everyday life is busy, and before we know it, the moments we swore we'd remember forever start fade.

Kids grow. Parents age. Seasons shift.

Without meaning to, we let priceless moments become forgotten — and the opportunity to hold them in our hands forever is lost.

BUT IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE THAT WAY!

I offer a luxury portrait experience designed to celebrate your family exactly as you are today — vibrant, connected, and full of love.
Whether it's a playful afternoon at your family’s lake house, a walk through the golden woods, or a timeless studio session, your portraits will reflect what matters most. Love.

And together, we'll create heirloom artwork you’ll treasure — not just for today, but for generations.





TIME.

Your story is....

Beautiful

An Authentic & Fun Family Portrait Experience

Every piece is handcrafted to honor your family’s story — beautiful today, priceless tomorrow.

With everything planned, all you have to do is show up and enjoy. Whether we’re outdoors or in-studio, I’ll guide you through natural posing and create a relaxed space where everyone can be themselves.

3. The Reveal & Artwork

You’ll return for a private reveal where we’ll choose your favorite images and design heirloom-quality wall art and albums your family will cherish forever.

"Leslie is full of positive, uplifting energy. She made the entire experience comfortable. Leslie was amazing with, not only my Mom and myself, but also my little girl during our entire session. I am so glad I have these gorgeous heirlooms to pass on to generations to come.
