Cape Cod Life  / July/August 2026 /

Writer: Leslie Hatton


In his hit song, “Photograph” Ed Sheeran sang, “We keep this love in a photograph. We made these memories for ourselves,” singing about capturing a special moment in time. Photos stir so many emotions in each of us and that intention of freezing a memory—for oneself or for others—is echoed in the submissions that local photographers have shared with us in these pages. From photos of whimsy and unbelievable images that capture the beauty of Cape Cod, these favorite photos show how deep the connection is between a photographer and his/her subject. We hope you enjoy gazing at them as much as we have!

Leslie (Horne) Hatton enthusiastically joined Cape Cod Life in October of 2022. Educated in Mashpee and Falmouth, she graduated from Assumption College and received her Master of Education degree from Lesley College. A former teacher, she has taught middle school, preschool and most recently, fifth grade. She and her husband Tom have three children: Aidan, Colin, and Erin. Their newest family member is Millie, an outgoing, outrageously happy chocolate lab. She loves to talk about all of them so better not ask. One neat tidbit about Leslie is that she is the author of the locally best-selling children’s book Cape Cod ABCs, with over 10K books sold on Cape Cod, the Islands and across Massachusetts. Happiest in the summer with a little sun on her face, she loves being with friends and her family, laughing, drinking and eating all over beautiful Cape Cod.
