Miss A | 50 & Fabulous

Lovely A, We met at a networking event aaaages ago... the food was kind of terrible, but the company was great.  We talked about your work as a Rodan + Fields consultant and mine as a photographer. You mentioned enthusiastically that you had done a photoshoot years ago, and you had wanted to do it again.  I wanted you to book then and there, but I had to be patient.  After all, you're GORGEOUS and just about as sweet as can be. Patience is not my strong suit (see this post here).

When I put out the model call for "50 and Fabulous," you answered, even though you aren't quite there yet. Although you don't do much to represent that demographic because you have the body of a 22 year old and the skin of a 30 year old. But who am I to argue with the opportunity to photograph such a lovely woman?

When we could finally make our calendars align, I was so excited.  One thing I especially loved is that you told your husband and that I think he was excited enough for the two of us.  He did everything from wardrobe advice to helping you see how beautiful you looked in your photos. I'm glad we got a couple of special ones with him in mind.  Husbands deserve to be spoiled, too. Maybe you can drop some hints during the next Agent Provocateur sale, because that corset was pretty freaking stunning on you.

Your gentle nature led to a sensuality that was peaceful and sweet, but sexy all-the-same.  Although I think our last set in the corset brought out a bit of daring in you.  But who wouldn't when they look like that?

Thank you so much for modeling for me. I hope that you and Mr. K enjoy your folio box.

Miss K - Glamour Photoshoot

One of the first things K asked was if I had ever photographed a Native American.  Having come from South Georgia where the Native American population is .23%, I could honestly say no.  Well, unless you count my friend in high school who is 1/16th.  But, really, I take each woman as an individual, regardless of skin tone, ethnicity, hair type, and make them look as gorgeous as they ever have and more importantly make them feel AMAZING. I think her question touched on something, though.  Every woman who contacts me is a little bit nervous that somehow they won't look as glamorous as the women in our portfolios. Whether it's concerns about age, size, skin color, height... everyone seems to be surprised at their own beauty.  I think Adeana and I are the only ones who aren't surprised.  We see it from the moment a woman walks in our doors.

Miss SM - Lavish Boudoir

Meet S. A fabulously 50+ client who threw her doubts aside and booked a session for her hubby (and herself).  She absolutely sparkles from within.  That beautiful red hair most definitely suits her personality.  She had hilarious stories and mischief in her eyes.   S wrote me a very kind review on facebook, and I'd like to share it here.  Maybe she'll inspire you, just as she inspires me. "Thank you so much for our session. You are an amazing photographer who knows just how to use light and surroundings to bring out the natural beauty in your subjects. I was blown away with the results and ladies these are not those old school makeup covered faces. Leslie has a way of bringing out natural beauty in you just with her talent and your unique beauty you never knew you had. A treasure to last showing your in and out beauty. Not sure how she does it but I will never regret going for it...just regret I didn't do it sooner. My husband loved them all so much it was hard for him to choose. While it was a gift for our 25th anniversary I was very pleased when he chose not only a book but canvas wall photos as well. And Ladies, for those who may feel less than perfect or that it is only something for the young...I must tell you think again....at almost 60 I looked classy but glamorous wit a natural beauty only a gifted photographer can bring out. And Adeana just the right touch and talent to not make you look made up but just made beautiful."
