Leigh Skaggs Photography

I am a wedding and portrait photographer in Hampton Roads Virginia.

The Skaggs Family | Family Portrait Photography The Girl Tyler

People I cannot stress enough to you how important it is to document your lives, at least once a year.  I hear all the time that “it’s just too expensive to have photos done,” or “when I lose 10 pounds, I will hire you.”  In fact, I have said both of these very things myself.  But this year, I put my money and my pounds where my mouth is and I saved up and hired The Girl Tyler to document this brief moment spent with 3 people and a dog that I love more than anything in the world.  And it was worth every single penny I spent!  Not only did we get a ton of GREAT images that I want to plaster all over my house, but we had a FUN experience that we will remember forever!  And it wasn’t a perfect session either, Wilbur never likes to be away from me and literally beat Tyler with a tree, we could barely get Truman out of the dumpster and my shirt kind of annoyed me…but in it’s imperfections, Tyler captured who we really are as a Family and that is PRICELESS!  All too soon, Morgan will go off to college, Tru to high school and we will never get THIS time back.  But because I chose to make this a priority, we will always have this day, captured forever, for all of us to look back on and remember how much we love each other.  And honestly…isn’t that worth more than a few dinners out at a restaurant!  Thank you Tyler for giving us this gift.  It means the world to us!  XOXO!

Merry Christmas/Hanukkah/Kwanzaa Everyone!  XOXO!!
