First, getting to photograph my mentor of 7.5 years? Immediately yes. 🥹🤍
BUT… my favorite personality trait of mine — the instant panic — definitely made an appearance. 😂 Because photographing someone who has known you, taught you, and supported you for the last 7.5 years is just a LITTLE intimidating!
Leslie was my primary preceptor when I started my career in Labor & Delivery, and she is truly one of the most beautiful humans, inside and out. She has taught me so much over the years, not just about nursing, but about kindness, confidence, and caring for people.
And then there’s her family. 🥹 Her kids are the sweetest, most fun little humans, and they are absolutely full of life and love.
We laughed pretty much the entire time, and honestly, that’s exactly what I hoped for. Getting to step outside of the hospital and capture this beautiful family was such a full-circle moment for me.
Leslie, thank you for trusting me with your family and for being such an incredible part of my journey — both as a nurse and now as a photographer. 🤍
