About Me

People tell me I’m gutsy, a true friend and progressive thinker.  I’m a World Traveler, Photographer, Yoga Instructor, Social Media Marketer who recently became a new mom to a beautiful baby girl and am honored to be the wife of an amazing man.

This site is subtitled Social Perspectives from Moments in Time. I’m on The Green Train and by utilizing Social Marketing am hoping to reduce carbon footprints (at least my own!).

I’ve backpacked my way through Thailand, Laos and Cambodia, hiking high up in the mountains and staying in remote indigenous villages which have given me a more worldly perspective of life.  Cambodia struck at my heart as a beautiful place but very hard to reconcile the juxtaposition of poor to wealth.  Because of this I am working on a pictorial book to benefit the orphans of Cambodia.  My advice to everyone, if you can, take the opportunity to immerse yourself in a different culture and watch your mind expand!

I’ve been a photographer since 1998 (wow 11 years!) and specialize in Events, Commercial, Portraits and Weddings with some Traveling thrown in.  Social networking is crucial to my business. It still amazes me to find out how new business referrals come about.  Check out some of my images and give me a call!

Spirituality is an important part of my life which is why I took a one month intensive training course in Costa Rica to become a certified 200 hour RYT.  I am a total believer that the middle path is the best path and Metta Sutta (unconditional loving kindness).  My life has been blessed by taking a giant leap of faith and resulting in an amazing family. The only constant thing is change, how profound!

A quick bit more:

Where I grew up: Rochester, NY

Biggest hope: That my daughter grows to be a well rounded and well grounded person

Maiden name: Vetrano or Polfleit (I was adopted)

I highly recommend Woodruff Photography and Leslie Woodruff. Leslie was the official photographer for our event and was a pleasure to work with. Leslie documented our event with great detail, capturing great candid photos of every participant.

The end results have been admired by those at the event as well as visitors to our website.

Leslie Woodruff is one of the most innovative photographers my family and I have ever met. She offered the most insight in suggesting what would make our photographs even better than we had expected. We worked as a team and are thrilled with the outcome! After she left our home, my husband exclaimed, “That is the difference between trying to do it yourself and working with a true professional!”. We can’t wait to use her services again! Thank you, Leslie!

We contracted Leslie Woodruff to photograph places in the Virginia Beach area. She was professional, prompt, reliable and provided us with great photos that fit our specific needs.

We will definitely contact her if we have any future projects in the area. Working with Leslie has been a most pleasurable experience.

Hi! My fiance and I are looking for an event photographer for our backyard wedding reception on Saturday, May 18 from 1:30 – 3:30. I’m not sure if you do that sort of work or if you are available. We just got engaged, so I know it is short notice. Here’s hoping!

Leslie - February 17, 2013 - 9:18 pm

Hi Courtney! Thank you so much for your interest! Unfortunately I am no longer residing in the Virginia Beach area (recently moved to Asheville, NC). I could definitely refer you to some awesome photographer friends of mine if you’d like!

Best wishes,

Leslie Woodruff
