Leslie began shooting professionally with a wedding photography studio in
Cleveland, Ohio. After 3 years she worked independently as Leslie Jean LLC.,
prior to accepting an invitation to join a studio in New York. While there she
continued to explore projects presented by the people she was meeting in the
city.

With hundreds of weddings under her belt, at some of the most grand venues in
the city, she has gained rare insight and training on how to manage weddings of
all sizes and cultures.

“Weddings are all types of photography in one day - but under pressure and
speed. Beauty, boudoir, portraiture, child and family portraiture, action,
photojournalism, and architectural. Not only is shooting weddings fulfilling
personally, it is professionally as well.” -Leslie 




LESLIE FARINACCI, FOUNDING PHOTOGRAPHER


MEET LESLIE


The name Perennial comes from the relationships that grew in her work. Her
clients would first call her for an engagement shoot, then their wedding…and
then a maternity shoot, newborn shoot, and family shoots thereafter. 

 Those relationships, whether they are brief or life-long, are what enables us
to create an honest photograph - we connect with you, and enable you to be
comfortable in front of a lens, whether it be by yourself, significant other, or
family.  

 Leslie Jean LLC was re-branded into Perennial Image in celebration of what we
stand for, and in the event of expanding our business. Leslie has worked with
many photographers and videographers in New York and Cleveland, and has
assembled a strong team of talent.



Perennial Image was founded by Leslie Farinacci, 10 years into her career. While
working for a prominent studio in New York City she continued to independently
expand her craft and clientele as Leslie Jean LLC and grew solely by word of
mouth. 



What is Perennial


ABOUT

Most photos are celebrating an event or family, couple or company. Sometimes
they can simply celebrate yourself. To capture that, the photographer needs to
be able to connect with you.

- leslie

Our studio is strategically located between Riverside Park and Central Park.
Depending on the purpose of a shoot, we have the ability to shoot inside, then
get extra variation in looks by stepping outside. Of course, we’ll guide you
through your options and suggest what will work best for your particular
project.

There are some projects that absolutely require studio lighting, such as (actor)
headshots and commercial work. The private environment is also essential for
things such as maternity photos and young ones. 

The streets and parks of New York have a style and structure that provide an
ideal backdrop for most portraits. We love to work outside and on-location for
most projects simply for character, but we are able to offer studio work as
well.

Studio Space


Leslie has lived and work in Manhattan’s Upper West Side neighborhood since 2014
and the neighborhood is home to many of her favorite shooting locations.
