Leslie is amazing! We booked her for one of her longest newborn sessions, knowing that our baby girl Christian, does not sleep well and may be difficult to photograph. I was terrified that I wouldn't get any nice shots of my baby girl. Leslie put me at ease almost instantly. She is so calm and never made me feel like we were being rushed, and even patiently waited while I nursed in between almost every shot. When I saw our first edited photo on her blog, I could have cried. The picture was exactly what I had hoped for. Leslie has lots of information and TRUE samples of her work at lesliestyler.com. Leslie went out of her way to change the temperature in her studio numerous times, looking for the right climate to help lull our girl to sleep. All of her efforts show how passionate she is about her craft. Yes we were paying for her photography, but the amount of effort she gave to us as total strangers, speaks so highly of her as a business woman. I absolutely think she is the best choice for newborn photography.

Leslie is fantastic! She did a wonderful job with our newborn. She was very patient with our little girl and made accommodations for us. The poses and props are great. I would recommend Leslie to anyone. Her website has some of her amazing work posted as well lesliestyler.com. We will book another session with her as our daughter gets older.

"Leslie is an amazing photographer!!! These pictures were hands down the best photos we have ever seen of our family. Such beautiful, vivid color!!! Natural and playful poses!!!! The best part about it all is that she took them while we were just playing around in our yard having fun together. Every other photography experience we have had with our young children has been a complete disaster- so stressful and anxiety producing. Leslie has such a natural ability when working with children and she has a true talent in photography. We will cherish her works of art forever!!!"

I chose Leslie after searching for months for the perfect newborn photographer. I knew I would only have one opportunity to get professional photos of my newborn son and wanted someone who appreciated the innocence and simplicity of a newborn baby. I couldn't have been happier, my photos were absolutely beautiful. Leslie took photos of my son that I will cherish forever. They were perfect. He's 9 weeks old now and already it's hard for me to remember him being so small. I am grateful for choosing Leslie and for the beautiful photos she took of my son. I would absolutely recommend her and the investment was money well spent.

"I booked my first session with Leslie for a newborn session and she exceeded my expectations! I have never seen more beautiful photos and she really listens to her clients and shows them that she truly cares about doing a great job for them. I will continue to book sessions with Leslie for my son and future children!" ~C.Bloom
These are AMAZING Leslie, and this is only a sneek peek!I can see why you came so highly recommended. You have a natural talent for newborns and a delightful personality to match!
"I am so thankful that I found Leslie Styler to do newborn photos of my first daughter. I knew that it would be important to capture the early days of my daughter’s life and I am so thankful that I did. Now that she is 6 months old I see what people mean when they say that time flies by. Leslie took the most gorgeous photos of my 10-day-old baby girl and I will cherish these photos forever. Leslie is so sweet and accommodating and very easy to work with. My husband and I were immediately put at ease when we arrived at her studio. Leslie has a wide variety of props, backgrounds, blankets, headbands and hats. It was especially nice that I didn’t have to worry about bringing those. It was our first time leaving the house since the hospital and I already had a ton of stuff I needed to remember to bring! After selecting various props we went ahead and began the photo shoot. Leslie has such a calm and peaceful nature and she was a natural with my baby, gently positioning her as she slept. Leslie was so happy and excited during the shoot and I could tell she really loves what she does. Half way through, we needed to stop because my baby was crying and needed to be fed. As a first time mom, I was exhausted from a lack of sleep and was really struggling with breastfeeding. My baby was crying frantically and as I struggled to feed her Leslie was so kind, supportive, encouraging, and compassionate. This was my first time trying to feed my baby outside my home and I was clearly upset and frustrated. I can’t thank Leslie enough for her kindness and compassion to me in that moment. Her kind words encouraged me and made me feel so supported at a very difficult time. She even held my baby for a little while I pulled myself together. She was such a blessing. Leslie spent more than the allotted time outlined in our contract to make sure I got a picture of my little girl dressed as a bunny since it was close to Easter. When I received my photos from her after the shoot I was blown away by how beautiful they were. Since then, Leslie has followed up with me on the progress of my baby. It is so wonderful to meet someone who is so genuine, kind, and talented. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Leslie to anyone to take photos of their child. I honestly think that Leslie could charge a lot more for her photo sessions because her work is of such a high caliber. I believe that Leslie keeps her prices reasonable because she loves what she does and wants to make this experience accessible for all parents. As a mother, she knows how special and important it is to capture these fleeting moments of your child’s life. Thank you Leslie for our beautiful photos and God bless!" ~Diana F.

Leslie is so very talented and her work turns out more beautiful than expected every time! I have worked with Leslie on family holiday photos (which were not easy with a dog and 6 of us), 2 years of Halloween photos, Santa photos , photos of my nice just because she is pretty (while visiting AZ) and 2 sets of senior portraits.
They all turned out amazing and as you can see I keep coming back!
Highly recommended!

Leslie did the most beautiful photos of my newborn daughter this past March. Here is my review of her wonderful services.

Leslie! It was so great working with you taking Nathanael's newborn picture. All the pictures came out great. You were so patient with him (and us) and your creativity shows in each picture. Thank you again!
Our pictures exceeded our expectations. Leslie went above and beyond to make it a great experience for our family. It was exciting to see our online gallery, the ordering process was very easy. The selections arrived beautifully packaged on a flash drive.

She is really a great photographer we were there for 4 hrs at least trying to get them to sleep and pose. its harder w/two. I am so glad I decided to do these, another dream come true to get such great photos.
~Hargreaves family
Are you kidding me right now! All of those adorable pictures!!!! Leslie, you have absolutely captured the heart and sole of Xavier, each picture brings a different emotion for me. Thank you, thank you, thank you! You are SO talented! I LOVE, LOVE them!
~Villeags family
"We are so glad that we met Leslie! Her pictures of me and my family turned out great! We have a baby girl and she was able to capture her personality in such a short period of time. Leslie was very professional, thorough and efficient. I really liked that she came on-site and we were able to take photos from the comfort of our own home. Not only that, as promised, she mailed our photos within a few days of taking them and the photos were wonderful, with the pictures of my daughter being the standout. We would definitely like to use Leslie again for our photos!"
~Zorma family
Leslie was a gem to work with! She had suggestions for locations to shoot and referred us to a beautiful spot. She was super flexible with our baby, who was only 2 months old at the time, willing to let us stop to BF if needed, worked around his fussiness, etc. The pictures she took were wonderful and her retouching made them perfect. It was difficult to pick just one for our holiday card! I would highly recommend her to anyone wanting a great photographer.
~ Sarah P
"We had a great time. I really do appreciate the time you took with us. You went above and beyond and there aren't many photographers, or people for that matter, that would've done as much as you did. I will keep your number handy and use you again for my maternity pictures if you're up to it and then again once I have the baby in June." The pictures are AMAZING!!!! I can't say thank you enough. You've got the best pictures I have ever seen."
"The pictures are awesome! We LOVE them"
"When we look to have family photos taken it has ALWAYS been a shot in the dark. Will everyone smile at the same time? Will everyone sit properly without blinking? Will my photographer just want to get through you so that he or she can go on break? This has always been our dilemma year after year and year after year we would leave the portrait studio felling like it was impossible to get those great shots. This year was different, to say the least! We contacted Leslie, set up a session at a park, got dressed and had fun. Yes, I said it we actually had fun! Leslie was great! She did a ton of posses and took a lot of candid photos. She worked with whatever situation arose, even the temper tantrums. She took pictures of those difficult moments and even they were cute. I can not say enough about Leslies professionalism and ability. Thank you for creating such a wonderful memory for me and my family."
With Gratitude,
~Stephanie
"My husband and I had Leslie take pictures of the two of us and our baby to give as Christmas gifts to family. The session with her went great; she was easy to talk to and made the shoot feel very comfortable. When we received the photos on CD, we couldn't be happier with the results! I would recommend her to anyone!".
~ Ryan
"I could not be happier with the photos, they are amazing! i fell in love with what I saw!You did a fantastic job capturing each girls personality in such a short period of time. And the golden light is beautiful!I would recommend you to anyone and do plan on hiring you again in the future. I love your style! My husband and I just finished our Christmas cards and every photo I said "oh, that is really one of my favorites"! I cannot choose a favorite, they are so each unique and wonderful. Happy holidays!!"
~ Kirstin
"Leslie I am trilled with how our photos turned out! With having a two year old I wasn't sure how it was all going to turn out, but you were very patient and just went with it. I love the candid shots of my daughter and the shots of me with her. I am usually the one taking pictures so its not very often that I get to have so many pictures with just me and my daughter and pictures of the entire family. I have already told my friends and family what a great job you did and I definitely plan on having you take our future photographs. Thank you so much!! "
~ Becky
"Our experience was great! Leslie was so very patient during our photo shoot. We did a few wardrobe changes with a 7 1/2 month old who was not feeling very well and Leslie was awesome. The pictures turned out amazing. We were so very impressed with their quality and also the professional service that Leslie provided. We are looking foward to our next session with her!"

She is so beautiful! The pictures are gorgeous as always Les! You rock! I love the one with her touching the water and the face shot where she is smiling with the pink flower in her hair! I wonder where in Iowa they moved from, I miss Iowa;) I recommend everyone to you! I tell them that I promise they will NOT be disappointed! You are worth EVERY penny and MORE! ((Hugs)) Keep up the good work!
