Leseman Family Portraits ~ Los Osos
Just an excellent crew, with Sterling stealing the show. His smiles are just too photogenic ~ not-stop cuteness & he’s a big fan of his big sister. I loved getting together with this crew of long-time locals :). Enjoy!
Blake Andrews founded SLOtography in 2008 and now works alongside photographer James Lester and videographer Robin Ayers. Together, they bring more than 30 years of experience (and serious good vibes) to weddings and events throughout San Luis Obispo and the Central Coast.

I missed the End of year post ~ however, it was a good year in which to wed :). Almost as good as 2026! Let’s gooooooooo!
It’s hard to look back on last year, overwhelming. Perhaps there was just too much ”year” in last year.
And so on the last day of the month, I’m choosing to take a look back at last month :). And it was just a month ago that we witnessed Claudia and Shannon Tie The Knot on Pismo Beach. They took a stroll down memory lane, even sharing their first look at their former first home together. :)
So many goodies here. And that’s my hope for 2026…more goodies, let the good times roll :)

If you’re looking for the best time to schedule family portraits for your Holiday Card, it’s never. If you’re looking for the perfect outfit, it’s out there but you’ll never find it. And if you’re wondering whether you’ll even like the family photos from your session: you’ll love them. 4 eva.
No shame. No judgement. Sure, I have captured family portraits for over a dozen families this year alone…but my own family portraits…that session is TBD.
Hit me up, or not. I still have plenty of time to capture your crew before Christmas. Or New Years’…or my personal favorite: Groundhog Day.
