My name is Rayleigh Leavitt, Owner and Lead Photographer at Photography By Rayleigh in Tualatin, a suburb of Portland, Oregon. I specialize in fine art portraits for women, families, and couples. Many women feel insecure with their bodies, and a fear of being in front of the camera.
I know how that feels; my goal is to provide you with a comfortable environment to capture the images that will showcase your beauty and change the way you see yourself.My photography studio is located in Tualatin, Oregon; however, my clients come from all over Oregon and the Pacific Northwest and West Coast.

Rayleigh is a very talented photographer. She expressed the vision she had for the photo shoot and she delivered. We have 4 small children and Rayleigh was able to quickly and successfully get the shots needed in order to deliver an awesome selection of photos. If you need a photographer Rayleigh is your gal!

After spending a long time fighting breast cancer, I wanted to feel alive again. I wanted to feel beautiful – inside and out. I purchased a Groupon from Rayleigh in search of that. I was sure I was not photogenic, but hey, I would give it a try. Wow! What a surprise! Rayleigh has been blessed with an amazing ability to find your inside beauty and reflect it on your outside. The shoot itself was special. Stephanie did a super awesome job on my makeup and hair; and Rayleigh made me feel as if I was in my own home. She is so focused on what and how to look your best, that there is absolutely no

I never truly felt beautiful until I saw my photographs.. I was almost 60 years old, how could I be beautiful? It was scary at first but Rayleigh put me at ease early in the session which made me feel more adventurous in choosing my outfits. When I presented the album to my boyfriend, he cried and was speechless. Would I recommend this to anyone? Most definitely YES! Thank you Rayleigh!

Rayleigh is an amazing, talented photographer. I was so nervous for my shoot but she made me feel so comfortable that by the end, I was no longer hiding the areas of my body I don't like! She makes you feel relaxed and sexy. Before your appointment, she provides you with a lot of tips and ideas for your shoot. She has a nice studio setup which allows for multiple backgrounds. I also had my hair and makeup done and it's amazing how much that can help make you feel beautiful! Thank you Rayleigh for helping me feel comfortable with myself. My husband loves the pictures!

I was in the process of publishing my first book and needed a headshot for my author bio. Since my book is all about living a great life with fibromyalgia, I wanted a photo that captured how I feel now: alive, healthy, beautiful, and thriving. I have always thought that Rayleigh has a special way of capturing women, not as they see themselves, but as they truly are. Her pictures feel the way I wanted my photos to look. People might think it's weird to choose a boudoir photographer for a professional headshot, but I'm so glad I did!

I was lucky enough to have Rayleigh shoot my maternity photos. From her kind response to my initial email inquiry, to her friendliness when I arrived at her lovely studio, to our enjoyable time together during the photo session itself, Rayleigh made me feel comfortable and like I could be myself. Most importantly, I couldn't be happier with the photographs she took. Thanks to her talent and eye for detail, I have timeless, classic pictures documenting my pregnancy. I never imagined I could look this good in pictures at eight months pregnant, but thanks to Rayleigh's professional touch

I loved working with Rayleigh. She was relaxed and easy going, and I didn't feel rushed at all, even though my session was a brief one because of my tight budget--it seemed like we had lots of time. I liked that she didn't pressure me to go any certain way with my hair or makeup, or even what clothes I should put on or take off. She was supportive of my leanings, and offered suggestions when I asked for them.
Her studio is in her home in King City, and it was new, warm and welcoming feeling--very professional in spite of it being her personal space. I liked the way my photos turned

Rayleigh was a photographer at our wedding in 2008. She did such an excellent job. She was great coming up with ideas for pictures (even though all locations were our choice and were unfamiliar to her). During the ceremony there was a moment when I turned my face to the audience to make a silly face and she managed to capture it right in time (when we watched the video we realized that that whole movement was only a second or two long so we were amazed and grateful that she managed to get it on camera). We also needed the photos edited soon as we were traveling to do another reception and wanted
