My name is Gary Leighbody, and I am the owner of Creative Photography. Let me start by saying, we are NOT your typical photographer. We are always looking to give our families products & images that are anything but ordinary. My goal is to let kids be kids, high school seniors show off their personality, and capture everyday relationships with every image that we capture.

Family is everything to me, and I strive to make every experience with my clients, one they will remember forever. I appreciate the effort that is placed deciding on a photographer. In the past 20 years, I have surrounded myself with the best staff in Western New York. The promise to you, is to make sure you have a collection of images that are relaxed & unique with Creative Photography's quality and cutting edge approach.
Services
Take your Senior Session to a UNIQUE level with this once in a lifetime DVD that shows who you really are! This DVD slide show includes images from your session, video clips from your session, and a little peak into what makes you tick. In the short interview section of the show, you will be able to share your accomplishments, fears, family, friends and plans for the future.
We offer you more background and set choices than anyone in Western New York. Gary will review your clothing, and create portraits that have harmony and style. Our professional lighting, and ability to photograph you in ways that let you look your very best, is what Creative does so well. We have an outdoor studio you will love, with sets & backgrounds of all different themes.
I'm not your average High School Senior Photographer. Besides having images that rock, one of my biggest goals for my seniors is for you to feel right at home. You'll hardly even know your being photographed. Bring your I-Phone/Android device and we will fill the room with tunes that make you tick.
Start your family history now with your child's own heirloom of a "Personal Portrait History". This collection is meant to focus on your child as a unique individual, and will capture the milestones of his or her life. Some day, your baby will have babies of their own, and they'll want to show their children what it was like when they were growing up.
I love genuine, relaxed and candid portraits. I seek out genuine moments that make me FEEL something. Family portraits are lightly posed, meaning I'll help you get in position first, and then encourage interaction and real expressions while we are snapping away. If you have young ones, It's all about developing a relationship before the session, and playing games so they are having lots of fun.

As others have said, lured in with some "Free" family portrait sitting. Only to walk out with a tiny framed picture of poor quality, at an outrageous price.They make the size so you can only have it framed by them.Total scam. Not deserving of even one star.

Ever since I got my senior portraits at Creative, I’ve been blown away by the excellent customer service and the quality of the photos. Not only are the pictures super unique to my experience, the design and professional quality is hard to beat. From start to finish, my entire session was fun and relaxing— something I didn’t really feel at other cookie cutter studios.
I recommend this place to anyone that wants their child to have a good time and feel comfortable— AND have photos that reflect that.

We were very happy with how our pictures turned out. Getting three little kids all to smile for a picture is not easy but they were able to do it!

The time spent with the photographer was good but the end result was horrible. My photos were so face tuned that they didn't even look like me anymore. They moved my face around and it was very disproportionate and I am extremely unhappy with them for the amount I paid.
