Capturing cherished moments, creating lasting memories

Hello, I'm Leigh, the photographer behind the name, located in beautiful Whakatane, New Zealand. Photography has been my dream since childhood, a way to freeze time and preserve precious memories. Now, as a mum to two wonderful boys and a wife to an amazing man, I'm making that dream a reality, focusing on capturing the emotion and joy in family and business photography. My passion lies in creating beautiful images that you'll cherish and proudly display, reminding you of those fleeting moments gone far too soon.

My journey through the lens

From a young age, I was captivated by the magic of photography – the ability to capture a single moment, frozen in time forever. It’s a powerful way to hold onto memories that we can’t revisit, except through imagery. This deep love for the art, combined with my own experiences as a mother watching my boys grow, fuels my desire to create lasting treasures for you and your loved ones.

Your unique story, beautifully told

At Leigh Reynolds Photography, I believe every moment has a unique story to tell. That's why I don't believe in one-size-fits-all. I meticulously tailor packages and locations to meet your specific needs and vision. Offering thoughtful extras and upgrades, along with access to special, picturesque locations, ensures we create perfect moments and images that truly reflect who you are.

Preserving childhood's precious moments

Being a mum has given me a special appreciation for how incredibly fast childhood flies by. Those innocent smiles, playful moments, and candid expressions are gone much too soon. My heart is drawn to capturing these fleeting childhood moments, ensuring you have tangible memories of these precious years to look back on and cherish forever. Let's capture the magic before it fades.
