Hey,

I'm Kayleigh.

The photographer behind Shots by Sturdy.

Based in Central New York, I primarily specialize in sports photography, capturing the energy, emotion, and moments that define competition. From game action to behind-the-scenes content, my goal is to tell the story of the game as it happens.

I got my start working in athletics, where I learned how to work in fast-paced environments and capture real moments without slowing anything down. That experience carries into everything I do — staying ready, being adaptable, and knowing when the moment matters most.

Outside of sports, I also work with portraits and events, bringing the same natural, candid approach to every session.

Whether I’m on the sideline or behind the camera at a session, my focus is simple: create images that feel real and worth coming back to.
