Matthews & Charlotte: Let's Capture Your Real Story.
Heartfelt Photography for Life's Most Precious Moments: Maternity, Family, and Engagement - In Your Home, Your Favorite Park, or Wherever You Feel Most You.
Hi, I'm Leighton, a mom of two and a photographer here in Matthews, NC, specializing in creating beautiful, authentic images for families, expectant mothers, and couples in love throughout the Charlotte area. I know how quickly these precious years fly by – the joyful chaos of family life, the excitement of saying "yes!" My passion is capturing the genuine love, connection, and joy within your family, creating timeless portraits you'll cherish for generations. And sometimes, the most magical moments happen right in your own backyard or amidst the comforting clutter of your living room.
I get it. I understand the beautiful (and sometimes messy!) reality of family life, the worry about whether the kids will smile, or that feeling of awkward in front of the camera. That's why I create a relaxed, fun, and stress-free experience. Forget stiff poses and picture-perfect expectations. My secret is embracing the playful, the candid, the real you. Whether it's a playful family adventure in the park, a cozy in-home maternity session, or a romantic engagement shoot at your favorite spot, I'll guide you through every step, ensuring we capture the genuine laughter, the loving glances, the unique bond you share. Let's create something beautiful together, comfortably and authentically.

Testimonials
“Leighton was a true professional. She managed to wrangle my young family of 5 and a puppy for some awesome pictures!! Couldn’t be happier. 😊”
“Love love love the photos that Leighton took during our photo session. She is great to work with, fun and artistic. She got AMAZING photos of my family, including my awkward self in front of the camera, and my crazy 2 year old. I highly recommend her to anyone!”
“I was so impressed when I got my maternity photos back and absolutely love them. Leighton recommend a beautiful location for them that was so unique. She arrived to the shoot early to pick out the best lighting spots and was ready to shoot upon my family’s arrival, that’s important with a two year old. She made feel at ease and like myself in front of the camera. We had a blast at our shoot! That comes through in her photography and I’m so glad we chose Leigh. Highly recommend.”
“I loved working with Leighton. She is very personable and made us feel relaxed during our photo session. She was very patient with the kids and worked hard to “get the shot”. We had a great time and loved our photos.”
