Leigh Skaggs Photography

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

March 6, 2014

Throwback Thursday -How far we have come-

I was compelled to go back and look at my first few years in business, today.  A few things really stuck out to me.  1. Is how far I have come as a photographer.  When I decided to follow my dream, I really only had 2 photography classes under my belt (both film) and a hope that I could do something that I always thought I would be good at.  When I look back at some of my portraits (I didn’t start off doing weddings) I am a little embarrassed that I called myself a photographer.  But I had a will to get better and a Husband that supported my dream.  So I practiced my butt off, did workshops, read lots about photography…and am happy to say that I have come a LONG way, baby!!  The second thing that really sticks out, is how many people have stuck with me over the years.  I am truly in awe and words do not express how thankful I am that you did!  Here are just a few examples of how lucky I am to have watched my clients grow through the years.
