Hi Sunshine,
My name is Jaime Leigh! I am a 46-year-old photographic artist based in Lone Tree, Colorado. In 2000, I graduated from MSU Denver with a BA in Photojournalism. As a business owner and photographer for over 20 years, I still love my craft and enjoy learning more daily. Photography, art, portraits, travel and documenting life with a camera is my job, but also my passion and I am grateful for this gift.
It's important for me to share with others what I see. A vital part of learning, growing and transforming is through my vision. Whether it be a high school senior or an old truck, every subject has a story to tell and every subject matters.
As time evolves and I stare at the world around me, I can’t help but want to make pictures. Everyday life happens so quickly and the moments throughout the day deserve to be documented. Through my journey of life, I’ve been blessed to travel with my camera. Being able to document people, places and other cultures has opened my mind, my eyes and changed my heart.
Genuine expressions in front of the camera are dynamic captures; they reveal the feelings of being human. Although fleeting, emotions recorded on camera are called life. Moments in time that will forever stand still.
To be allowed in the space of others, share their celebration, and document a certain time in their life, is truly an honor. The camera is a delightful way to connect with people and makes my heart see deeply. Being present and seeing the essence of a subject is when I am totally in love with my job.
I look forward to getting to know you more too!
Enjoy the moments,
Jaime Leigh

Making dance videos with my niece, Casey!
When Casey was little I called her Ladybug. We've shortened it since, and now I call her Bug.
We started making dance videos years ago when Musical.ly was around... and now she is headed off to college in the fall!
See below for a few ditties when we were both younger, lol!!
