It's been an epic monsoon season in far west Texas.

It's supposed to be 83 degrees today. Feels like we skipped spring and went right to summer. So here are a few photos of some past summer storms.

Today is World Cancer Day. Feb 17, it will be 3 years since my double mastectomy. To all the women out there who bravely shared your stories, who showed me what my body would look like without breasts, who walked me through the hardest journey of my life, I am so grateful for you. #worldcancerday

I know things are really really scary right now, so here are some photos of my puppy Tammy Faye. Hope this brings you a little joy.

It's still there! Covered in stickers. 😀

Here are a few photos of my shop. Murals by Jules Muck and Monty Welt. If you look closely, you will see Tammy Faye, our shop greeter. If you ever find yourself in Marfa, Texas, stop by and say hello! #shopsmall #marfatexas #supportsmallbusiness

In 2018, I started a series called Marfa. We are Hated on Yelp. I used to write down things in a notebook that I would hear people complain about when they came into my gallery. This led to me reading bad reviews about where I live. If you've ever been to Marfa, Texas, this might be funny to you.

Thank you!

In 2016 my husband dressed up as Michael Myers for Halloween. This started a photo series that we've done every year since. We call it The Miguel Myers series. We only shoot in October and put out a calendar every year. You can purchase a calendar at lovemarfa.com

Hi friend!

It seems everyone is getting snow but us. So here is a flashback to a snowy day in Marfa, Texas.

Thanks!!

Am I the only person who loves winter? I hate the summer. I call it reverse seasonal depression. I love it when it's cold. I love gloomy days. I love the rain. I dream of weather that is in every gothic horror movie. I thrive in the fall and winter. I can't be the only one. Where you all at?

Hello! My name is Lesley. I've been a photographer for 20+ years. I own a tiny shop in Marfa, Texas called Love, Marfa. Would love to connect with photographers, artists, cancer survivors, book lovers, and fill my feed with cute pets. Here is a little bit of my work.

What’s going on over here Bluesky? Here’s a photo of my puppy. Let’s be friends!
