Hi, I am Leslie.

Ever since I was a little girl I have been passionate about photography. I spent my allowance money to buy my first camera and black & white film at age ten, and have been in love ever since.

Sterling & Grace Photography was started in 2017 under the name, Leslie Jennings Photography. In 2020, I renamed the company "Sterling & Grace Photography" as an ode to my two children, Henley Grace & Sawyer Sterling.

I am a natural-light portrait and lifestyle photographer based out of Snoqualmie, WA; primarily working within the greater Seattle area.  I specialize in black & white minimalistic and lifestyle newborn sessions, as well as family, couple, and fine art black & white portraits.

Sessions with me will include a mix of posed and candid shots in order to capture my client's personalities and individual stories, while maintaining the artistic quality that makes my work unique.

My goal is to make you as comfortable and confident as possible during our time together. I like to goof around and have fun during a shoot, but will also offer helpful direction and advice to capture you and your family at your very best.
