Jada Leigh Photography, Clinton

Jada Leigh, the eye behind the lens at Jada Leigh Photography, takes inspiration for her photography from a diverse array of sources. Her family—particularly her three children—encouraged her to take up the camera. She sticks with it, however, as a more spiritual pursuit, describing her passion through the words of Ansel Adams: "Some photographers take reality … and impose the domination of their own thought and spirit. Others come before reality more tenderly and a photograph to them is an instrument of love and revelation." She likes to capture naturalistic shots of families and children at rest and at play, enjoying their favorite spots, such as sunny backyards or the home of some Fortune 500 CEO. She keeps strictly to the digital medium, delivering electronic copies of shots via CD and selling her clients the printing rights.
