Leyton of Copper Light Studios
Leyton is a Wisconsin-born self starter with a background in film, photography, and culinary arts. With a passion for photography and enthusiasm for food, she loves taking photos of delicious fares.
Growing up between both the countryside and the city has given her a deep appreciation for Wisconsin food traditions, bountiful foraging opportunities, rich farmlands, the colorful world of cuisines in the city, and indoor farming initiatives. Honored to live in a city where innovative indoor farming and creative dining is flourishing together, she hopes to showcase all that Milwaukee has to offer, adding to overall food education and positive representation.
Copper Light Studios is Leyton's food photography and catering business to do just that. She offers one-off photo packages for websites and social media, as well as ongoing promotional contracts. Read more about general pricing and info by navigating to the Services tab of this webpage.
