Welcome to the blog

Would you like to know why you will never regret having newborn portraits? Newborn portraits are so special and the photographic memories will be appreciated not only by you for years to come, but also your children. My three children under 12 love seeing the photos of themselves from birth until now. I love telling […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

This little sweetie was asleep most of her newborn session, so she made my job pretty easy.  Astrid also gave us a few smiles throughout her session, which I pretend is because she really loves newborn photography.  Why wouldn’t she? I do.  So check out this beautiful baby and her precious smiles. 🙂     

Gelila has arrived! She was wide awake during much of her session, but she did take a few little naps here and there, giving us a nice combination of sleepy and wide-eyed photos. Even when she was awake, she remained quietly content, just looking around.  It was so sweet seeing her big sister give her […]

Armando Daniel is here! I was so thrilled to meet this little Ar”man”do, as his dad calls him.  Armando gave me good eye contact and some fun newborn facial expressions, but fell sound asleep after being swaddled.  Newborns love a nice, cozy swaddle.  Being only one week old, he easily curled up for poses too.  […]
