We are so happy we found Kelli! She is an incredibly talented photographer and a pleasure to work with. I selected her for a boudoir shoot as a gift to my hubby-to-be and the photos are classy and beautiful. We also had her shoot our wedding and could not have been happier. Our family portraits are as stunning as the artistic shots that captured the special moments of the day. I’m sure we will use Kelli for years to come.

Kelli is a wonderful resource for headshots!! My headshots were very natural looking and complimented my best features. Leslie was very sweet, professional and patient:))

Thank you for putting our son at ease.  The pictures you took were amazing!!  Very professional and pleasant to deal with.

I took my daughter, who was 2 at the time, to Kelli for memorial photos. And being a single father was hard to pick out certain outfits. So bringing a bunch with different shoes. Kelli was able to pick out the cutest outfits for her to wear. She was very helpful and friendly towards my daughter as well!! Kelli’s up beat and amazing personality kept my daughter involved and excited for this experience!

Spending a great amount of time taking photos and also taking the time to edit them really made it a special event! She’s very detailed orientated! Photos turned out so amazing that I get compliments on them when friends and family come over and notices them!!

Thanks Kelli!!

Kelli is a class act artist! She has a wonderful eye for photography. I had the pleasure of booking her for a boudoir photo session. I was a little nervous in the beginning but she made me feel comfortable and sexy! She is a perfectionist and won’t finish a session until she gets all the best shots.

Great.  I would use again and recommend her in a second.  Highly talented, professional and she is really cute.

I love Kelli! She is so enthusiastic and great at what she does. She took my senior pictures for me and also put together a video to music of all my pictures for me to show at my graduation party and they both turned out wonderfully. She makes you feel so comfortable in front of the camera and does a great job at capturing your personality in all your photos! (and makes you look flawless) 😉 I recommend 10/10 and will definitely return in the future for all my photo needs.

I absolutely LOVE Kelli Leslie Photography – she did my 10 yr. old daughter’s photo shoot – everything went beyond perfect!!! Kelli called me ahead of time so we could discuss outfit choices, location selection, etc.  Kelli was so great at getting my daughter to strike the perfect pose, with the perfect smile for each particular photo.  Kelli is super relaxed and you feel that the minute you meet her – which in turn helps you relax – my daughter felt right at home and loved working with Kelli. I would HIGHLY recommend Kelli Leslie Photography!!!

Kelli is one of the best photographers I’ve ever known. Completely professional and passionate about what she does and is perfect to record all the great memories you would want to remember forever .

Kelli gets professional results because of her dedication to the craft, her skill as an artist and her personality as… well… a person!
The important points are that Kelli set me at ease and made the shot more enjoyable than I thought possible.  It’s no wonder that Brides choose her to Photograph their weddings. Also no wonder that actors, models and companies choose her to bring out the best in them and their subjects.
She has a peaceful, happy, caring aura.  It is obvious the Kelli has a true affinity for what she does.  If I could go back in time and choose a different wedding photographer I’d choose Kelli Leslie.  As it is I chose her to take my head shots and I’m happy about it.
Here’s how I know these things:
I am an actress and as such I am very comfortable playing a role in front of the camera ~ not so much trying to look my best as ME when posing for my head shots .  It is a necessary evil for me, I tend to get very self-conscious.
February 17, 2016 I drove 42 miles from my home into the low mountains next to the Tonto National Forest in Mesa, AZ. At first I was bothered at the drive, but as I wound through the peaceful surroundings I began to relax.  Kelli appeared and greeted me with her happy voice and glowing smile.  She set me at ease as she assessed the outfits I brought and began to apply my make-up.  I did not bring a playlist to list to “get in the mood for the shoot” like professional models do, so Kelli put on the Patti Griffin Pandora channel.  It was peaceful and uplifting.  She must have felt what I needed!
Kelli did my hair and make-up working with me on both to get a look that I liked and could easily duplicate for auditions. It is very important that these are not “glamour shots” but rather ME as I look when I go into auditions!
When it was time for me to “smile for the camera” suddenly I was stiff and nervous.
Kelli, seems to intuitively know just what to say and how to relate to me in a way that set me at ease.  I found myself laughing and actually enjoying the process!
She helped me feel more comfortable in my session than I thought was possible!
Now, I just have to see the results of the photo shoot.
I’ll post the result of that when I get it!!

I just had my head shot portfolio done yesterday. What a phenomenal experience it was with Kelli! She was patient, and put me at ease at the get go. She was very understanding about the fact that I was a beginner and educated me through ever step of the process. She is fantastic at makeup and made my skin look flawless with minimal makeup. She is also quick and very diligent with time, paperwork and keeping your appointment within the session time. I highly recommend her for all your photography needs. Her vivacious personality leaves an everlasting impression on you.

I just had my first photo shoot with Kelli and I couldn’t have been happier! She did a great job of helping me feel comfortable and also have input on the looks we were going for. She was awesome with giving me direction on what to do and how to posture myself to make the best product. Highly recommend Kelli for anyone looking for photos!!!

Because I work as an editor in the photography business (including weddings), I wanted a photographer that was amazing for my wedding! As I began my search, I fell in love with Kelli Leslie Photography!
She is very professional with her contracts & agendas. She promises to get pictures of every major event at the wedding & she does. On the wedding day, you feel comfortable because she will help you with your schedule and keep everyone happy and moving. She’s an amazing person!
(Note: In order to get shots that you definitely do not want missed, make a list and give it to her beforehand and have her sign a copy. You should do this with any photographer you hire for anything. They can’t read your mind after all.)
Kelli Leslie does overshoot but this could never be a bad thing because you get to be the final decision. When I got my discs in a reasonable amount of time, I instantly went through them all choosing my favorites to be printed and put in a book. It did take a couple months to get the discs in the mail but I was too distracted with my new husband to care about getting pictures back on my honeymoon or during our transition period. The wait was worth it! Her pictures are beautiful. She includes many pictures that are what I would assume to be the original color, some in black and white and some in cool sepia and distorted tones.
Kelli definitely has a great eye for getting the best angle. She avoids things in the background that shouldn’t be there and she makes anyone look their best!
My husband and I couldn’t be happier with Kelli Leslie Photography!

Absolutely loved working with Kelli Leslie on my boudoir photo shoot. Coming in I was pretty nervous to expose myself so much and Kelli made me feel not only unbelievably comfortable but sexy and gorgeous! I’ve worked with quite a few photographers and she has by far put me most at ease. The finished product is always absolutely stunning and she has a way of making anyone feel confident and beautiful. Kelli has done multiple photo shoots for my family now including my sisters boudoir shoots as well as my sisters wedding photos and we will continue to book with her considering her talent, flexibility, and all around amazing work. Kelli is the best, I HIGHLY recommend her!

Kelli did an amazing job with our wedding pictures and I couldn’t be any happier. An absolute pleasure to work with and made us so comfortable!

Kelli is just the sweetest! I am awkward when it comes to taking pictures, but she helped make the experience more comfortable. Kelli speaks up if something needs to be fixed i.e. clothes, hair, facial expression, etc.- which is VERY important to get the best results possible. I will recommend Kelli to anyone and everyone.  The engagement shoot gave my fiancé and I a small look at what our wedding day will be like… we can’t wait!
