Hi, I’m Carleigh, a portrait photographer based in Rochester, NY. I first picked up my camera in 2018 at Eastridge High School, where I volunteered to take senior portraits for students who didn’t get theirs taken for the yearbook. What started as a simple way to help out, quickly grew into something much bigger. Watching students light up when they saw a photo that felt like them...one that reflected their personality, confidence, and best qualities, made me fall in love with photography!

I photograph a wide variety of portraits, from simple headshots to small‑scale weddings. I’m passionate about people, learning who they are, earning their trust, and seeing those real moments come alive from behind the lens.

Outside of photography, I share life with my husband, our four children, two dogs, two cats, a bearded dragon, a flock of chickens, and the beautiful chaos that comes with all of it.

Whether you’re celebrating a milestone, documenting a chapter of your life, or simply wanting photos that feel like you, I’m here to make the experience easy, enjoyable, and authentic.
