My View From Here

Capturing my view from all the places we call home
Connection centered family & couples photographer
Tampa, FL

I'm Leslie, a South Tampa photographer, military spouse, and mother of four beautiful babes. Originally from the great state of Texas, I've had the opportunity to call Georgia, North Carolina, England, Italy, and now Florida "home". Our lives move so quickly we often forget the little unseen moments that make life worth living. Your new baby’s fingers tangled in your hair, butterfly kisses, the wa

y your hand fits so perfectly into theirs. I want to create a comfortable and inviting place to document these little moments. Each session will be about you and your family, capturing the essence of what makes your connection beautiful.

When you move as often as we do you start to really hang on to certain things. I was thrilled when this family contacted me and wanted to remember their favorite thing about their time in sunny Florida: their backyard pool. The vision was a gallery wall of black and white images that showcased their fun little family doing what they love to do together right now.

This is what family photos are made for!

Mama you deserve to be in the photos.

Not just taking them. Not when you’ve reach a certain weight with the right outfit. Not because you need a Christmas card. Not when the kids listen better or they can sit still. Right now. When the days feel long and the exhaustion is heavy. Photographs are your reminder of the why, the love, and everything that really matters in a world telling you you’re not enough. To them you are everything and that deserves to be remembered at every stage.

April is the month of the military child. These kids are strong, brave, courageous, insert all the buzz words you hear around this month, resilience being the number one. Sometimes when we say “kids are so resilient” it’s said in a dismissive way, forgetting resiliency is born from conflict and struggle. It isn’t just getting over a situation, it’s acknowledging your situation and choosing to make the most of it. While I believe to my core that our military kids are so incredibly resilient it’s not because they’ve chosen to be. As their parents, we chose this life and they have to follow along. But that’s what starts this path to resiliency.
Their normal is completely different from other kids normal. Their normal includes telling their parent goodbye for months on end. Hoping at the end of the day for a FaceTime, at least a phone call. Celebrating birthdays with just your family because you are always moving in the summer. Being the new kid over and over, and then one day looking out for the new kids because you know how it feels. It’s staying with people you’ve known for a couple months because your mom just went into labor. It’s helping make meals for the family you’ve never met because mom said they really need comfort right now. It’s sounding different from everyone else and embracing other cultures. There are sleepless nights because you caught a glimpse of the news. Or fighting back the anger from ignorant comments about your family and their worth. Meeting people and becoming fast friends then saying “see you later” hoping that that is actually true. Knowing family is everything, because at first that’s all you have in an empty home where you know no one. I could go on and on and never scratch the surface of each military child’s normal. Their life reminds me a bit of a paper airplane. Riding on the breeze. Every fold and crease, like their experiences, shaping them. Adaptable. Creative. Adventurous. Ready when the time comes to take flight.
