Leslie Styler Photography - She takes amazing photographs of grown ups too! - Event Photography Near Me

I emailed this photographer to ask about time frames to book a newborn shoot. I was told to wait until about two months before my due date. When I emailed her, two months before my due date, I was told she was booked. It's very difficult to find a photographer on such short notice so I'm very disappointed. read more

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. read more

I had the pleasure of working with Leslie to capture pictures of my daughter. Her photos were AMAZING! She was so attentive to detail and her creativity blew me away! She had a way of capturing the essence of my daughter. She went beyond a smile and gave me photos that showed me glimpses of my daughter's persona, her personality, her character in a way most photographers miss. And working with her was such a joy. She is such a kind and patient person. She never made us feel rushed in her studio and she was amazing at the editing. I recommend her to everyone I can. I will go to Leslie every time from now on. It doesn't get better than her. read more

Leslie has taken our family pictures several times over the past few years, and they always turn out amazing. She manages to capture the spirits of my kiddos perfectly. She recently took newborn pictures of our son and I couldn't be happier! She was very skilled in knowing exactly how to get (and keep) our baby asleep and comfortable while placing him in the sweetest poses! She definitely has a real gift for newborn photography. I am so thankful I didn't miss the opportunity to have Leslie capture this time in our lives! read more

After our experience with Leslie, I sincerely hope we were a fluke and that she normally handles her business professionally. First, we were 10 min late because well...we have a newborn and a toddler and we're coming from across town. We didn't expect her to go past our end time because of this, but when we got there she said we were 30 min late (which we weren't) and that we needed to hurry since she had to pick her kids up from school. Again, we didn't expect her to go past our end time by 10 min since that's how late we were. Then, she didn't have her studio set up to take sibling pictures with my toddler and newborn. I had emailed her (like she asked in one of the numerous emails she sent me preparing for the session) telling her I have a toddler so we could do those pictures first so he wouldn't get cranky if we waited until the end. We ended up w zero pictures of them together which is the most disappointing thing from all this. Her pushiness when we first walked through the door was what made us decide to move past sibling pictures. (This was after failing to get some with the poses she was trying to put my 18 month old in instead of just getting action shots of him interacting with her like I suggested) We didn't want to spend the whole time trying to get these pictures and get absolutely zero of my daughter by herself. Next, during the session my baby woke up and wouldn't go back to sleep (She is a good sleeper, too) because it was way way way too hot in her home studio. Leslie wanted me to keep feeding her and hoped she would fall asleep when I nursed her. The problem was, I was sweating and my baby was sweating so much she couldn't latch on and she was so hot she was uncomfortable thus not being able to fall back asleep. Since the day my baby was born, she would not fall asleep if she was too hot. Because of this we asked Leslie to make it a little (just a little) cooler so we could get our baby comfortable enough to fall asleep yet Leslie didn't want to because she said she had enough experience to know that it wouldn't work. So, we went the rest of the session with my baby awake because she was too hot to fall asleep. I totally get that the studio was warm since my baby was in light wraps but it was excessively hot and obviously too hot for my baby. Leslie should have taken into consideration when we asked for the air to be turned down that we, her parents, knew our baby well enough to know it was too hot. After the session (3 weeks later) I emailed Leslie asking if there was any chance our gallery would be up sooner than 4 weeks. The time frame she gave us was 2-4 weeks and we assume that 4 is the max and if they could be completed earlier she'd do that; however, the response I got to that email was very rude and snarky. She said I would have to pay $50 to get the pictures at 3 weeks (even though the time frame she gave us was 2-4 weeks) and that she had already offered to give me a few pictures in my gallery for a newborn announcement. She did offer that but said I'd have to include those in the pictures I chose from the amount allowed in my package I paid for. I didn't want to do that since I wanted to see all of the pictures first. I didn't want to have to either pay extra for a picture I would want or sacrifice it since I already used up the amount of pictures I could choose. The straw that broke the camel's back: After we finally got our pictures I noticed that there were zero of our baby's features up close such as her lips, hands, feet, etc. When I asked Leslie about this she stated that I did not request these; therefore, she did not provide them. I was absolutely flabbergast by this. At the beginning of the session she stated that she has specific poses she chooses to do for every baby and then would do any additional photos I wanted. Naturally thinking with the hours we were there and that she has poses she always does first as well as the portfolio she has online (which I used to pick her as our photographer) that she did those up close pictures during that time. She would not let us stand behind her to see any angle she was taking the pictures at nor did she show us all of the pictures before we left so we had no clue she hadn't taken any of these, and since she takes so long getting ANYTHING back to us there is no way I could get a different photographer or even her to get these once in a lifetime photos for us. I will never be able to go back in time to get those precious pictures of my 1st born daughter at less than a week old. I think it is evident with this review, but I would never recommend her to anyone nor will we return to her. Even after I pointed it out to her, she never apologized for her rudeness or that she didn't capture those missed pictures for us. This review doesn't include everything we are unhappy with but I feel it captures the majority. I can't even put into words how upset I am that we didn't get the quality of photos we had hoped for. read more
