Leslie McCandless has lived in Sedona for more than 20 years after relocating from Los Angeles,California.

She became inspired by the beauty of the southwest and began exploring the arts by taking pictures, creating a line of southwest clothing, and eventually studying filmmaking.

Her time is divided between filming or photographing weddings and traveling to exotic locations to swim with (and film) humpback whales.

Using state-of-the-art photography equipment, (including the new Canon 15 megapixel 50D camera) her years of experience in Sedona have taught her the most beautiful places and best times of day to capture those perfect memories.
