Hi again! ​I'm Leslie Archambault. Thanks for checking out my website and for clicking on the "About Me" tab. I run Arch Photography Co., which is really a container for all the things I do creatively and the different services I offer .

​

Living in the container of Arch Photography Co. are photography services that I offer to small  businesses and solopreneurs, especially those who provide nature-based and holistic products, services and solutions in the Hudson Valley, New York and Westchester County, New York.​ I would love to collaborate with other creatives, as well as individuals and businesses in the health, wellness, and beauty sectors—including the cannabis industry.  If you fall into that category and want to learn more about the types of services I provide, check out the                           tab to learn more. For a portfolio of some of our clients and collaborations, click on the                                                                button.

 

You may be wondering why I use the term "our"...  Well that's because on the service side of things, my hub, Charlie helps me out with technical aspects of large projects, such as lighting during a real estate shoot, and fleshing out ideas.  He is actually very creative! Sometimes our daughter Sam, who just graduated with a BFA in Illustration from the University of Hartford, provides feedback and creative inspiration while I am working in our craft studio on product photography. She also provides lots of moral support to me as an artist because I have self diagnosed severe imposter syndrome. Like I have trouble calling myself an artist... am i? 

​

As a creative, my love is to not only photograph nature but to also use my photography as way to help others feel at ease and grow. My photographic process is largely intuitive and I find hidden meaning and lessons in many of my images. And sometimes, I feel compelled to share, be it on my website under                         or                                    .   My hope is to use my photography as a way to help others feel peace, to grow and to become inspired.

 

So whether I am out in a meadow capturing the sunlight dancing on the wings of a butterfly or if I am home crafting images in our studio, the entire photographic process is really more of a spiritual practice for me, nudging me to grow, because we are all growing and learning, right?  That's all we can do to become a better human in a chaotic, messed up world.

​

I’m personally driven by people and projects that embody the following values:

​

Kindness, Awareness, Authenticity,
Spirituality, and Creativity.​​
