A little about me..

My first name is Leigh, but I go by Leigh Anne, my first and middle name together! I’ve always loved family days, babies, road trips, and doodling.

My photography was published for the first time in 2012 when I was 17. A 35mm photograph of my bed with a quilt my great aunt made is the cover of Flatsound's album, Sleep.

Art has always been a part of who I am, and my studio art degree from Hood College here in Frederick gave me the foundation to create with intention. Photography became the place where my creativity, my love for people, and my desire to preserve memories all came together.

In May 2021, I married my best friend, Scott, in a small family‑only ceremony. Standing there with the people who matter most reminded me how powerful intimate, meaningful moments can be, the kind of moments you want to hold onto forever. It’s that same feeling I try to capture for every couple and family I photograph.

Not long after, Scott and I became parents to our sweet girl, Addison, and she changed everything. She’s the heart behind everything I do, including the way I see the world through my camera. Becoming her mom taught me how quickly moments pass and how precious it is to hold onto them. That’s why I’m drawn to real smiles, real moments, and real connection, the things you can’t stage, only feel.

This work is personal. It’s storytelling, connection, and heart all wrapped into one. Take it from the ones who felt it.
