About
As a mother of two small children, I know how fleeting the moments are. Being able to share my love of photography with people from all over the world has been an absolute dream come true for me. Sharing those special moments together and freezing them in time. Remembering every precious detail of your once in a lifetime wedding, capturing that amazing maternity glow, documenting the tiny newborn details that every tired mama eventually forgets. Those are the moments that I live for. Knowing that I create classic, timeless images that will hang on your walls and remain in your families forever is such a gift and I treasure it every single day. I LOVE every single thing about the work that I do. My former boss always shared the famous quote "Choose a job you love and you'll never have to work a day in your life." I could not agree with that statement more. Meeting new clients and fostering new relationships is something that I truly enjoy the most about my work. Being there to watch your families grow and capturing your most treasured memories is a gift and one that I will never take for granted.

Outstanding experience. Leigh was amazing with the kids and guided us professionally thru the process. My husband and I both have professional photography background, and we're super picky when it comes to photographers. She was just outstanding. Highly recommended!

Leigh has an amazing gift! She is incredibly talented and passionate with her work. We had a blast with her on the beach during our photo shoot! I came across Leigh's portfolio while I was looking for someone to photograph our family while on vacation. I knew hands-down she was the one! Even on short notice she was eager to do so. Leigh is professional and sweet, patient and creative. We had 3 toddlers and she was perfect with them. She smiled the whole time with us and even hung around a little longer to capture as many memories as possible. Honestly, one would think she's been taking our family photos all of our lives! Well now she will be! We are excited to work with her again and again in the future! I would highly recommend Leigh Castelli Photography! Thank you, Leigh!! :)

Leigh Castelli is an amazing photographer and her talents and creativity can be seen during a photo session and in her design work after the photos have been taken. She captured our family perfectly. From beginning to end, Leigh is a true professional and so easy to work with. While our newborn was fussy during periods of the photo shot, Leigh was so patient, kind and understanding. She works wonderfully with children and had so many creative ideas. Leigh has done family photos for us three times including a newborn shoot and a family photo session of 13 people! We now have her work displayed all over our house. We will definitely use her again and I cannot say enough good things about how talented she is.

Leigh is phenomenal to work with. She is so professional and responsive. She went out of her way to find a location that best met our needs/vision for the shoot. She is kind and even brought my kids little gifts at the end of the session, which they are still talking about. I wanted to get these photos taken as part of our trip from out of state, but now thanks to Leigh I have memories that will last me a lifetime. I can't stop looking at the photos - they are absolutely beautiful and exactly what I was looking for - not too posed, not too serious - but fun, playful and captured the energy of my kids especially well. Would definitely recommend Leigh and hope to get to work with her again if we travel back to the area.

Thank you so much for your very kind words Jaci, I greatly appreciate it and I'm so glad I had the chance to capture your family while visiting California! I hope to see you all again when you return in the future. Say hi to the fam! XO Leigh
