Rebecca Leigh Studio is proud to announce the opening of my shop, Sweet Rebecca Leigh. I create handmade headbands for newborn photography. Not only do these delicate and sweet designs look beautiful and elegant on newborns, they are perfect for baby and children photography too! The story behind the headband creations I first became interested […]

Here’s a few things to consider when choosing between a studio session and a lifestyle session for your newborn photos.  Both types include family photos, sibling photos with the newborn, and solo newborn portraits. Rebecca Leigh Photography explains what to think about for a studio or lifestyle newborn session. Studio or Lifestyle Newborn Session The […]

If you have an older baby, you know that once they started to crawl or walk, that it was over. No more staying in one spot. This makes relaxing with a baby, a thing of the past, and you’ve now entered the “I can’t get anything done” phase. All eyes must be on this precious […]

I have three babies that walk and talk. They’re not really babies anymore. I first fell in love with babies, in general, when my cousins were born. I signed up for my first babysitting certification class when I was a pre-teen. I made my own special babysitting kit to take to my first “job” for […]

Sometimes the best gift arrives right around a holiday. When we did these newborn portraits we included a tiny felted heart in some of the photos. It wasn’t until I was editing the gallery that I remembered that a heart was perfect for the timing of this little one’s arrival. I’m sure Valentine’s Day will […]

Many of the locations I photograph don’t have too many passers-by, but Centennial Park is quite popular for walkers, runners, and bikers.

Every time I have a session with this wonderful family, I really look forward to it because they are so sweet. I first met them two years ago for a maternity session before this little cutie in the yellow dress was born. Then I got to meet Zara at her newborn session and later see […]

Your pregnancy is a special time, so why not get dressed up and wear a maternity gown? Not only does it flatter your figure, it gives your portraits an elegant feel.  The fabric can be gathered to accentuate your baby belly, and just looks pretty! Different colors look nice during each season, so make sure […]

Emma decided to go right to sleep after she was all warm and cozy in her wrap. And she certainly looked adorable in my new bucket that I painted.  In addition to Emma being placed securely into the bucket, her mom was sitting right next to her with both hands placed on her. At my […]

This handsome little fellow made excellent eye contact with me while I wrapped him in a swaddle.  Sometimes babies go right to sleep as soon as they are swaddled.  Nolan didn’t want to miss the action, so he stayed awake for awhile.  He yawned a few times too, so eventually it was nap time, and […]
