About Leslie

Greetings from Blumer Portraiture!

Hello there! My name is Leslie, and I’m the passionate photographer behind Blumer Portraiture, now proudly serving families in Houghton, Michigan, and the breathtaking Keweenaw Peninsula.

My journey with photography began during the precious early years of motherhood. Like many parents, I found myself yearning to freeze time and preserve every tiny detail of my children’s lives—the delicate curve of their ears, the gentle grasp of their fingers around mine, and the serene smiles that graced their faces as they slept in my arms.

As I honed my skills behind the lens, I discovered the incredible power of photography to capture these fleeting moments and transform them into timeless treasures. Memories may fade with time, but photographs have the remarkable ability to evoke emotion and preserve love for generations to come.

With over 15 years of experience, I bring both expertise and a nurturing touch to every session. Just as I would care for my own children, I prioritize safety, comfort, and connection in every interaction with you and your precious little ones.

Whether you’re welcoming a newborn, celebrating a milestone, or simply wishing to freeze a beautiful moment in time, I would be honored to help you create portraits that reflect the unique joy and story of your family—surrounded by the natural beauty of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula.

Let’s capture memories together.
