Leslie Mills is a portrait photographer specializing in families, newborns, corporate head shots and high school seniors in the bay area. She captures those precious moments, when a family is laughing together or when a child hugs a parent, a moment that should be cherished for a lifetime.
Can I just start off by saying that I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Casey’s outfit color scheme for the family?! If I could get my own daughter in anything other than Hello Kitty and pink, I would choose outfits like these. Secondly, could her daughters be more adorable?!? Nope. That about sums it up. Love these little girls!
Josie is such a big girl now, she even dressed herself for her family photo shoot and she made sure her little doll was in the photos with her. I love this path in the Presidio as it’s such a gorgeous backdrop. You don’t even feel like you’re in an urban environment with the Presidio as your backyard.
What a beautiful afternoon for a sunset family photo shoot at Baker Beach! It has been such a pleasure to get to know this wonderful family and call them friends. Benton showered me with smiles during our entire shoot and if I did not have to take the photos, I would be covering him with hugs.
It was a perfect foggy San Francisco morning at Crissy Field and my first time meeting sweet Dante. He is such a handsome little guy and loves snuggles with him parents. And those lashes! Too cute!
Okay, I am completely serious that I considered making Jackie the cover of my holiday card. She is such a doll and I just love how she got into the sand and enjoyed digging around. Next up is our one-year birthday cake smash in January. Yay!
What do you do when a dear friend moves to Seattle? Drag them back to San Francisco for a family photo shoot! I love how I remind Tracy that it will be a chilly San Francisco morning the day of our shoot and she laughs and explains to me that San Franciscans don’t know what chilly is until they’ve been to Seattle in the Fall/Winter. LOL
It was such a pleasure to meet Rocket, Cruz and their parents. Although it was a chilly morning, we ventured out to Aquatic Park and their rooftop deck for a few quick pics in between our adorable newborn portraits. Cruz was an absolute doll and let me photograph him as much as I like. It was such a fun morning! I can’t wait to watch how Rocket and Cruz grow up together and build that brotherly bond.
This family is so near and dear to my heart. I’ve known them since Maddie was five weeks old and I truly feel like they are an extension of my own family. I love watching these girls grow up together and become closer each day. I can only hope my own daughter has such a strong bond with her own sibling one day.
I can confidently say that I’ve never met a 5-month-old who smiles more than Lucas. As he cruised up in his ride (stroller), he was all smiles and they just kept coming throughout our photo shoot. And Kate is just an absolute sweetheart. I loved photographing this family and it just melts my heart to see siblings who are so loving towards each other.
I may be a bit bias since I’ve known these kiddos for a while now but how adorable are they?!? You can feel Riley’s happiness while she played at the beach. And Chase has grown so much since our newborn photo shoot! He has such an endearing personality now and is a sweet little toddler. Goodness, they grow too fast. Love these little ones and I look forward to watching them grow in the years to come.
