Savant Photographic Artistry, Lubbock

Leslie Ann has an artistic eye. After majoring in interior design and receiving a masters in agricultural communications specializing in photography, she realized her image-capturing potential when asked to document a wedding. Since then, Leslie has tested her mantel's durability by collecting such accolades as the 2008 President's Award, becoming a Certified Professional Photographer, and receiving her Photographic Craftsman Degree, an honor shared worldwide by less than 2,100 photographers and one ambitious film reel.

Today, she brings her expert touch to Savant Photographic Artistry, housed on a lush, three-acre property. Inside the studio, Leslie meets with clients and coaxes out grins on backgrounds ranging from open fields to graffiti-bedecked walls. The studio also shares its beautifying touch with the local community by contributing to charitable organizations.
