I’m Karleigh, a lifestyle, portrait, and wedding photographer
I pick up my camera to find the beauty in the simplest moments
I first picked up the camera to catch the small, daily, things in our lives, that we usually ignore. In my opinion, turning these small moments into portraits can really show a person's essence. I do that for my life, my friends' lives, and I hope that I can do it for you as well.
A little about me
I am a 25-year-old photographer located on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. I have been taking pictures as a hobby and for friends and family for over 10 years. It has always been a huge passion in my life. I went to a local community college and then transferred to the University of Maryland College Park. I tried to choose a "Normal" Career (Speech Pathology, Special Education) and found I had zero motivation in any degree I chose. All I wanted to do was take pictures. So finally during the pandemic, I took a long look at what I truly am passionate about and what would make me happy in life. So in 2021, I officially started my business! I have such a passion and drive when it comes to photography! I constantly want to learn and get better! I am extremely patient with children and have experience working with families of disabled children as well. I love those candid moments during sessions more than anything else and I always strive for everyone to leave feeling happy and confident in themselves!
"Enjoy the little things in life"
That is a phrase that has always been a very important value to me. I lost my Grandmother when I was 6 years old, my Grandfather when I was 12, my other Grandmother right before Christmas of 2021, and most recently my Grandfather in January of 2023. Once I got a little older, I started to look for more and more images of myself with these family members and was saddened to see that there were not many. The few I did have were of poorer quality and wished deeply that I had more pictures to capture those irreplaceable memories.
I now go above and beyond at all family get-togethers, holidays, meet-ups with friends, etc. to make sure I can capture those little things, so they won't ever be forgotten. Every picture is a moment frozen in time, that we will never get back. My goal is to capture those treasured moments. In each image, whether posed or candid, I take the time to make sure every emotion is captured in your session and that even the little moments, will not go unnoticed.
