Leilah Claire

I'm Leilah (Lee-Luh) Claire, a Winston-Salem, NC-based creative designer and brand photographer. My journey into photography began as I helped clients build unique brands through web and design services. Over time, I discovered a new passion for brand photography, which helps complement my design work.

From brand photography, I expanded to portrait and wedding photography which I have loved since I get to capture life’s sweetest moments. I’m an Enneagram One + pretty Type A, so I’m ready to tackle anything you have to throw at me!
