I AM LEIGH ANN
a morning person, a fur mom, a wife to a working musician. I am a marathoner, a lover of nature, running and all things outdoors and adventure. Photography is an extension of who I am and the life I am passionate about; which is about community, connecting to others, finding beauty in real-life moments and creating a life full of intention and purpose. I am Leigh Ann.
Services Offered
My photography services are different than the colorful majority because I don't follow fads and current trends. I offer timeless documentary services for family & children, wedding & events, creative branding for musicians and other businesses as well as fine art prints for collectors who view photography as an investment for future generations.
Our Mission
My goal is to bring awareness to authentic story telling through photography. Using my experience as a committed photographer for 30 years, I hope to educate others about the value and importance of documentary photography. I strive for clients who have a deeper understanding, knowledge and appreciation for photography.
Pricing
We offer an hourly rate with the option to purchase prints or the high resolution files with printing rights. Hourly rates start at $175 with an additional $500 to obtain the printing release. We also offer professional print sizes 3x5 up to 30x40 in lustre, matte and glossy finishes. We do offer stretched canvas and canvas board options as well.
