Why we ranked them

Why we chose Leigh Essig Photography

Leigh Essig operates a dedicated studio at a Saint Andrews Road address in Columbia, giving her newborn photography practice a fixed, purpose-built space rather than relying on client homes or rented locations. Her described photographic style is photojournalistic, aiming to document a family's real emotions and connections rather than producing a heavily staged, editorial look, which tends to appeal to parents who want images that feel like an honest record of a specific moment in their lives. Published newborn portfolio images on her site span multiple sessions, suggesting an active, ongoing newborn practice rather than a handful of early portfolio-building shoots. A dedicated studio address, rather than a home-based operation without a public location, tends to signal a more established, long-term commercial operation. For Saint Andrews-area and broader Columbia families, having a fixed nearby studio removes the coordination required for an in-home session.
