BIO

My full name is Aileen Leigh Cavalier Krzos. I go by Leigh Cavalier because my first and last name are just too hard to remember and pronounce…
correctly. I am a 4th generation Californian living for now in the Midwest. It’s a great place to raise my kids. I love to travel for work and pleasure. I am primarily a documentary and portrait photographer taking commissions from non profits, individuals and families. I photograph my clients over extended periods of time in their lives, essentially creating a visual legacy that can be shared for generations to come. I love the work I do and the people I photograph. It is a privilege and a pleasure to be a photographer.

“The main thing for me is that I’m happy that I’ve been able to work as a professional photographer.

What is at the core of my work is, in essence, a mediation on being a human being.” – Eli Reed
