Leslie Affeldt
Leslie is an Arizona-based photographer whose passion for capturing the world’s beauty has been with her since childhood. Though she spent much of her adult life raising a family and working traditional jobs, she felt a creative fire that never faded. In her early 50s, inspired by supportive women in her life and the memory of her mother who always believed in her talent, Leslie finally stepped into her calling as a photographer.
Known for having “the eye,” she strives to reveal the extraordinary in the everyday, creating images that evoke emotion, spark memories, and help people feel more connected to the world around them. She prints her work on metal, canvas, and paper, offering custom sizes and a personal touch for each client.
Originally from Washington state, Leslie launched her photography business there before relocating to western Arizona, where her work has been warmly embraced. With a can-do attitude, she continues to grow her craft and share the beauty she sees through her lens.
