Leslie Rodriguez believes in
the power of a photograph
Driven by her own love of memories and longing for keepsakes -
she understands how a single image can evoke feelings of nostalgia while bringing the viewer back to a specific moment in time. A magnetic optimist, Leslie finds immense joy in providing her clients with a physical reminder of a day they never want to forget.
Leslie learned photography at a young age when she pulled a camera out of the kitchen junk drawer and assumed the role of the official family documentarian.
Following an internship at Louisville Bride Magazine, Leslie became enamored with capturing weddings and began her career in photography.
An undeniable pull toward singing and songwriting -
met her passion for chronicling life and love through a lens. After receiving her graduate degree in Latin American Studies from Vanderbilt, she pivoted to pursue her creative endeavors. As the lead singer and marketing director of Humming House, Leslie toured North America, performing at festivals such as SXSW and opening for Kacey Musgraves and Emmy Lou Harris.
After four years of performing and photographing weddings whenever possible, Leslie decided to shift her focus to her photography business and growing family.
Feeding her appetite for knowledge by challenging herself to master new techniques, this curious creator believes it’s never too late to learn a skill.
Leslie finds inspiration in all aspects of life -
and is deeply influenced by travel, fashion, and her family’s photography archives.
When she’s not crafting killer keepsakes, this sunny songstress continues to nourish her creative spirit through nature walks in the mountains with her husband and daughters, Penny and Goldie, or performing music with her dad around town.
“I'm capturing photos of people that I wish I had of myself.
I get such a kick out of the thought that I might be memorializing some specific moment or incredible image that generations will treasure.”
