Anita McLeod Photography

Willcox, Arizona, USA

I am a traveler, thrill seeker and a nature enthusiast. I take that part of my soul and mix it with the passion for photographing people and those unique moments that are priceless and eternal. Capturing the love they share, and firsts, and that unique moment in between the moments. I promise you a unique experience, and treasured photographs, with an emphasis on you. I take time to get to know you, your story, and go to great lengths to provide you with photographs that will be a perfect reflection of you and your love. I am originally from Tucson, Az. Born and raised! I love nature and all of it's beauty! I definitely love showcasing that beauty in my sessions! I also love the old film look and portray that in much of my art. The deep tones, the dark and moody feel, the film grain, the gritty black and whites. I just love it all! I began my love affair with the camera in 2009 when my mother was going to school for landscape architecture with her BFA in Photography. I would go with her on her assignments and she would help me with lighting, angles and all of the little details which are oh so important! I'm not going to lie, the amount of buttons and options compared to my little point and shoot model overwhelmed me when I dove into a real professional camera. But eager to learn, I read the manual from front to back, read books, and with my mothers help and some amazing groups of other professionals I joined, the more I became acquainted with my camera and learned how to manipulate it, the more I fell in love with the art of taking photographs. The apple doesn't fall too far from the tree because my grandfather was a first lieutenant in the Air Force and During WWII he took black and white photos from the airplanes during that time. And my paternal grandfather was an amazing artist whos art is hanging on my walls decorating my home. Spending time with him in his studio growing up has definitely been a big influence to my love of art. Today, I'm proud to say that I've had hundreds of fabulous human beings step in front of my lens.
