I'm so glad you're here!

Welcome to the White Willow Studios! My name is Leslie, I am the lady behind the lens and creative lead of White Willow Studios. My husband and I returned to Wisconsin in 2013 after finishing our military service, myself in the Army Reserves, and Justin, the Marine Corps. We settled in Poynette with three daughters, and have since added one more to our litter--we also have 4 dogs, 5 cats, 3 goats, and numerous chickens on our growing little micro-homestead.

Photography is, and always has been, my artistic outlet and passion.  I began back in high school in the dark room, taking photos and developing them myself, and have gone through the transition of film to digital photography.  Photography is an endless field of learning, there are always new developments and techniques, which makes it all the more fun! Through my work, I find peace, healing, happiness, and beauty. Although I attended college and grad school and worked in the health care field for several years, I made the transition to a full-time photographer in 2021 as it better served a more conducive work/life balance.   

I have a strong hippie-like love for the outdoors, my family and I spend a lot of time camping, fishing, hiking, and gardening.  Like all photographers, I have a unique personality that I will make sure blends with what you are looking for.  My goal is to not only provide you with excellent photography services, but create an experience that is fun and memorable.  Enjoy the views as you browse my website, feel free to reach out with questions--I hope to connect with you soon! 

XOXO - Leslie
