Ok everybody!!! I have been getting sooo many questions about what I do to get these pics I am posting my stuff here!!
I shoot in manual mode exclusively.. it has TOTALLY transformed the quality of my photography. I do my photo sessions at 2-3 hours before sunset. I do not use a flash..all natural light is what I love! Except for weddings. I have Photoshop CS3 and Lightroom that I do all my editing in. Really that is about it!! I really believe God has gifted me for a purpose in photography and I hope to share this gift..... Love all of you at flickr..thank you for helping me get some self confidence in photography and of course for all the inspiration daily!!

"Leigh has been an inspiration to me for quite some time now. Her talent is incredible and her photography so versatile. A true photographer in my mind. Not one to be pigeonholed, each of her photos is different and unique, yet she stays true to her overall style.
Love your work!"17th December, 2008

"leigh is one of the first wedding photographers i really connected with the images on flickr. that was quite a while ago. many images later, i still have to stop on occasion and gasp at an image, and i do not impress easily. she's fun, smart, and has a real eye for people. just don't call her work 'cute' ... boy was that a mistake ;)
fantastic artist with an adorable family."25th November, 2008

Lisa Røstøen | Fotografix Studios says:
"Well, this has been a long time in coming I believe. I've been a huge fan of Leigh for quite some time. She has such a vibrant, unique perspective and it most certainly shows in both her work and her stream. Viewing her photographs just fills you with joy. It's pure eye candy and the talent is just endless.
Not only is Leigh a wonderful photographer, but she is just a very special, caring person. Way to make flickr a little bit brighter LT!"21st August, 2008

marie {thej5family} says:
"i think i stumbled upon leigh's streams from a group pool and immediately knew i had to add her as a contact. for a girl who is just learning, it is so awesome to be able to find photographers like leigh who share their talent with all of us. leigh's stream is filled with awe-inspiring shots and the most unique pictures, not your everyday poses nor compositions. although i do not know leigh personally, i know she is not a follower, she is not one who duplicates others, she makes her own rules, followers her heart and her stream shows it.
thank you for sharing your talent with the rest of us leigh!"9th August, 2008

"I don't think I can say anything that hasn't already been said about Leigh...but I will try. Having worked with her, I have seen how effortlessly she creates fantastic images that have a wonderful feeling, unique to her vision. I have to admit to not really noticing her doing her magic until I saw the finished product and I think that's part of what makes her already one of the better photographers I have come across in a long time. She has raw talent to spare and a comfortable working style that totally disarms her subjects and allows them to participate fully in the art she's creating.
Unique indeed and I look forward to watching her career blossom."31st October, 2007

Jeanette LeBlanc says:
"Talk about taking off right out of the gate...
Her stream is total eye candy, crisp, clear shots, beautiful saturated colour, beyond beautiful models. She's got an eye for the shot, for the right angle, for the exact moment to click the shutter. I'm constantly amazed by what she produces, and looking at the traffic in her stream and the testimonials on this page, I'm clearly not the only one.
Ladies and Gentlemen, keep your eyes on this woman. Mark my words, Leigh Taylor is one to watch."9th April, 2007

"Leighs photography is second to none, especially her portraiture. She is a true proffessional and her work has a wonderful style and quality. Of course it helps having gorgeous children to work with, but she sure brings out the very best in them. And Leighs comments are always genuine and kind.
Quite simply Leigh, your work shines, it's right up there with the best!"8th March, 2007

Lutz-R. Frank says:
"I found Leigh's photostream quickly after having started to get addicted to flickr. Her sparkling portraits of her kids inspired me to try out things on my own and to learn how she inspires her models.
I always enjoy finding her newest addition on my contact stream - and nearly always I can't prevent smiling. And that's in my eyes the best thing an image and the photographer behind can trigger. Thank You!
Keep the images flowing, Leigh!"14th January, 2007
