Leyf C. Sanford

What’s up! I’m Leyf — your photographer + friend. I love telling stories & capturing moments that feel alive. I’m from San Diego, so a lot of my inspiration comes from the West Coast, but I’m always honing my craft and pushing myself to see things differently.

I follow Jesus, and I’m always stoked on a good time — whether it’s sharing a meal with old or new friends or chasing a sunny adventure.

Can’t wait to serve you and create something beautiful together!

  • i started shooting professionally in 2020, but I’ve been hooked on the idea of making a moment stand still since I was yet but a wee lad.

  • hmmm… I’ve got many, like most photographers, but one that stands out is a portrait of a Hindu monk who had devoted 40 years to his practice. we ended up talking about the gospel of Jesus Christ, and the conversation wrapped with a portrait I still carry as a reminder of the inclusivity of the simple Gospel and how Christ’s love sets people free.

    if you’re reading this and disagree, I’d genuinely love to hear your thoughts!

  • literally have no clue, but I should like to take at least one more;)
