Her favorite photo subjects are her two daughters and husband, Paul. The family is so important in what I produce. Paul is a great supporter of my work and art in general. The two of them met on a Valentine s Day blind date and have been married fourteen years. Though Leigh has produced conceptual photography, i.e., photos put together in a preconceived notion to convey a particular thought, she prefers spontaneity in her work.
Photos just happen.
It s part of capturing the moment. One of her favorites is a picture taken while walking at Spring Hill College with her daughter, Jordan, who stopped, picked up a dandelion, and blew it. Leigh returned to her alma mater, St. Paul s School, three years ago as an instructor. Leigh teaches them how to take, print, and mat the photos. She loves teaching at the high school level because the students are both mature and innocent at the same time.
