Portrait Photography Services
in Northern Virginia

Hi there! I’m Shelby, owner and professional photographer at Shelby Leigh Photography LLC, dedicated to capturing your beautiful memories that will be cherished for a lifetime. I serve all of the Washington DC Metro and all Northern Virginia area, including Haymarket, Gainesville, Fairfax, Alexandria, Leesburg, Aldie and surrounding cities.

My recent move to Northern Virignia was due to another military PCS after tagging along with my husband for the last twenty years, and we have found this area to be the most beautiful of locations! I love being able to capture the picturesque colors of all four seasons, and as a natural light photographer, I can capture your family and various sessions during the beautiful golden hour light.

I specialize in Newborn, Family, and Boudoir photography, and have a studio conveniently located in Haymarket, Virginia. I would love to talk with you about capturing your new little's arrival, your eldest child celebrating Senior year, or even updated family or individual photos to help you see your own beauty!

Beauty & Boudoir

In 2020, I started Boudoir photography but have always been passionate about capturing women’s beauty through my lens. I created Beauty & Boudoir, which has already helped women feel empowered through my sessions.

Quotes:
“The best and most beautiful things cannot be seen. They must be felt with the heart.” ― Helen Keller

“Taking pictures is savoring life intensely, every hundredth of a second.” ― Marc Riboud

“You don’t make a photograph just with a camera. You bring to the act of photography all the pictures you have seen, the books you have read, the music you have heard, the people you have loved.” ― Ansel Adams
