I’d have to play ball with you here. Which is not something I typically do! I really like reading a post that will make people think. Also, thanks for allowing me to speak my mind!

Just thought I would jump on and answer the gear question(s). My gear is not at all fancy! It’s almost embarassingly sparse. I’m a minimalist and I like budgets!

I still shoot with a Canon Rebel XTi. All of the images appearing on this post were shot with a 50 mm 1.4 prime lens. The lens was around $300 and WORTH EVERY PENNY!

I recently acquired a 24-70 mm f2.8 L series lens, after a lot of hand wringing and flipping out over cost because I needed something a bit wider. It is a GREAT lens and will be in my bag forever.

I don’t have or use Photoshop or Lightroom, mainly because I don’t have time to learn either! So, I do all of my editing either in Photoshop Elements or on Picnic.com, which I found through Me Ra and LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!

Hope that helps to answer some of the gear related questions!

congratulations leslie! It looks like you’ve really built up a successful business! I just started a small photography business this year, and was so incredibly nervous to actually make a website! Thanks for your encouragement

Me Ra,
I love hearing these stories! Something I would love to know is what equipment these women started with, and maybe what they have now, or what is their favorite camera/ lens now

Me Ra and Leslie ~ Thank you so much for sharing this story.

Leslie~ I have a blog, but have been putting off getting a website because I worry that I’m just not good enough. My girls (8 & 11) keep telling me I should. Thanks for another push! I needed that.

Wishing you continued success!!!
