Welcome! Let’s get to know each other.

A woman with long, wavy blonde hair smiling with her eyes closed, wearing a nose ring and earrings, dressed in a black sweater, against a plain light gray background.

My name is Leslie Claire, and I’m your portrait, family, wedding, corporate, lil-bit-of-everything photographer with my roots in one beautiful place and my camera often in another. I’m based in Western North Carolina, and my work often takes me to East Tennessee and anywhere the shoots happen.

I believe photography offers the best way to remember our most loved and cherished moments once they are gone.
