Welcome to my blog!
My name is Leigh Ann and I'm a music and portrait photographer. I'm also a wife, a mom, and a music junkie. I'm a good cook, but a lousy housekeeper. My office is a mess but I can usually find what I need. I don't clean windows but I like doing laundry. I am a native to Seattle Washington who has been living in North Carolina for 10 years and loving it. I’m an animal lover and fond of most creatures, except mosquitos. I love who I am and I love what I do. Really, what could be better? My job is to bring out the inner rockstar in all of us, and to me, that's awesome.

Robyn, a swedish pop singer gets the crowd dancing. Wow, a fun fun set. Her electro-pop combined with her highly energetic dancing got everyone jumping and dancing, despite the intense heat. She has very catrchy electro beats which I think most would find themselves dancing to.

You can watch her perform Fembots. Occasionally you can glimpse me on stage (on your left) with my goofy white hat.
To learn more about Robyn, go to her website. www.robyn.com

Sharon Van Etten opened the Pitchfork Music Festival 2010. WOW. What a voice and what a great set. I have to hand it to her. Standing up on the massive stage, alone, a girl with a guitar, playing to a large crowd takes some guts. She did an incredible job and I’ll be keeping my eyes and ears out for more from her. She kept a sense of humor when she broke a string and didn’t waiver when handed a replacement loaner guitar whose strap was obviously much too long.
Pitchfork Music Festival opened earlier this year, starting the day at 3:30 instead of 5:30, allowing for more bands, and for the first time, a night of comedy on the Balance stage.
Tony -It was calm this year at the gates. I didn’t see anyone running or trying to get in to get to the stage first. Seemed more mello than ever before
Crowd surfing during Pitchfork Music Festival 2010
Another year of Pitchfork Music Festival is in the books. It was a stellar year once again. The only downside was the oppressive heat and humidity. Seriously, 10 hours shooting in 100 degrees is exhausting. I can’t imagine being one of the artists, jumping around on stage in that heat, or a fan packed in all day. Despite the heat, the energy level of the artists was incredible. I’m not sure how they do it, but they put their all into each performance and everyone put on fantastic crazy sets.
Stay tuned for more recaps and lots and lots of photos. If you were there, come back to check out the fan photos and crowd shots, and maybe you’ll see yourself.
If you are interested in viewing all the images and ordering fine art prints, you can check out the Pitchfork Music Festival galleries in our PRINT STORE

Gimme Noise (http://gimmenoiseblog.com) of City Pages and MPLS.TV present a recap of the 2010 Pitchfork Music Festival featuring interviews with Big Boi, Raekwon, Ryan Schreiber of Pitchfork Media, Michael Showalter, Free Energy, Surfer Blood, Best Coast, and Sonny & The Sunsets.
As a music photographer, I get to photograph many different bands. Some are exciting, some are interesting, and some just stand at their mic and sing. Sometimes I love the music, and sometimes I don’t. It’s always much more fun when I’m a fan of the music. Of all the bands I’ve photographed in my career, I’d have to say The Flaming Lips is possible the most fun and exciting shoot ever. It’s like the circus comes to town, with confetti canons, massive colored balloons, strange psychedelic light show, dancers dressed in various costumes, and of course, the charismatic Wayne Coyne as the Ring master. And if that isn’t enough, the fans are crazy fun, in their elaborate costumes.
You can check out the set of images in the slideshow below. Have fun. I sure did!

Natalie-Fabulous images, Leigh Ann. I’ve never seen crowd-surfing in a giant bubble before fun images! Looks like it was a great show, love all the colour!
