Baby Bronte – Brisbane Newborn Photography

Surrounded by so much love and support, little baby Bronte arrived safely into this world into the arms of her loving family. At 10 days old, I photographed this sweet, little angel along with her loving Mum, Ann, and her proud grandparents, Irene and George. Petite and simply adorable, she was a delight to photograph.

Enjoy this collection of some of my favourite images from baby Bronte’s session.

It was a pleasure to make these beautiful ‘welcome’ cards for Ann and baby Bronte – they were loved by all who received them!

“The way Leanne manages to put everyone at ease with her calm, relaxed yet professional manner is every client’s dream. Whether she is photographing adults or children she manages to capture their expressions and personalities perfectly. Most recently Leanne photographed my daughter when she was only 10 days old. The patience she showed was truly amazing. Nothing was too much trouble and I never felt rushed when my daughter needed a change, feed or cuddle. I would highly recommend Leanne to anyone looking for a photographer to capture your special memories.” – ANN

Alex + Leisa + Kai – Bulimba Family Photographer

• leanne •

What a beautiful morning to hang out and go for a stroll along the Bulimba waterfront with this fabulous family. Eight month old Kai was too adorable for words and had us entertained with his cool clapping skills. Those incredible blue eyes of his had me oohing and ahhing each time I took a photo – he was irresistible! Thanks Alex and Leisa for hanging out with me – you guys were fabulous and I can see why you’re so in love with your little man!

JKA Accounting Solutions – Clayfield Corporate Photographer

• leanne •

When JKA Accounting Solutions contacted me about creating images of their team for their new website, it was great to hear that they were after a collection of contemporary images.
In their words, they didn’t want the traditional ‘drab accountant sitting behind the desk’ images. We set up a private Pintrest board where we were able to brainstorm the types of images they were drawn to along with ideas for locations and what to wear.

It was such a pleasure to work with and photograph this team of professionals during their Personal Branding Session!

“Leanne has a very calming and reassuring approach and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her services to other professionals requiring head shots and commercial images for their website. She was able to show examples of her portfolio and she suggested different types of shots and styles that might work best for us. She was very welcoming and easy to work with and have no hesitation in recommending her.” – JKA ACCOUNTING SOLUTIONS

Rob + Sonya + Sabine – Teneriffe Family Photographer

• leanne •

I had so much fun planning this family’s session.
The brief was too good to be true – these guys wanted fun and relaxed photos that showed the essence of their family’s soul in a cool urban location. To top it off they asked if they could include their amazing 1970 Triumph Stag …. are you kidding?
Yesssss!!!!!

Enjoy this collection of images from our afternoon spent in the ever so cool suburb of Teneriffe.
I have so many favourites!

“Leanne was a delight to work with and I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone and all!. She worked with the madness of our family life and made sure that the session was a fabulous family experience – one we will remember for a long time to come.” – SONYA

Emerson – Greek Christening Photography

• leanne •

It may have been a wet day but the weather didn’t spoil this very special occasion for little miss Emerson. The christening ceremony was held in the Greek Orthodox church of the Dormition of our Lady at Mt Gravatt and was fortunate to have both Father Nicholas and Father Romanos Stergio, who came from the Greek Orthodox church of St Anna on the Gold Coast, to perform the beautiful ceremony. She was surrounded by her closest family and friends who watched as she entered the Greek faith with her loving godmother, Ali, by her side.

Following the ceremony, a celebratory lunch was held at Billykart Kitchen, in Annerley, where Chef Ben O’Donoghue and his amazing team served up a selection of superb meals.

Enjoy this selection of some of my favourite images from Emerson’s Christening Day.

I loved catching up with Emerson a few days after her Christening Day. During her mini-session I was able to photograph her in the beautiful Christening gown that was created by the very talented, Kerry Xynias, who also made Emerson’s mum’s wedding dress – how special is that! Emerson is such a joyful, little girl – I’m in love with her and her crazy, fun loving personality. She had me in stitches laughing with her many expressions – I’m told that they are all taught by her amazing Dad – go Ben!

Sue + Phoenix + Tacoma – Windsor family photographer

• leanne •

I was so excited when Sue contacted me to photograph her with her two sons, Phoenix and Tacoma – both boys are incredibly talented football players and Sue is a proud hard working mum who would do anything for them.

In Sue’s email she told me how much she loves living in Windsor in the 1925 home that both boys were born and raised in. She was hoping that I would be able to create a ‘modern nostalgic story’ for the boys and her to always remember the place they grew up in and their fond childhood memories in this beautiful part of Brisbane. She wanted a ‘rustic, historical look with a taste of clean, modern and fresh’ – they were her exact words.
I couldn’t wait until we met up – I was so fortunate to have glorious, late afternoon light and a brief that inspired me to produce some of my favourite images.

Sit back and enjoy this selection from this wonderful family’s session!

“After thinking about having professional family pictures taken for some time, I finally did. Engaging Leanne was the best decision I made. She is certainly gifted and has a natural passion for her work. She listened and captured exactly what I envisaged. She managed the whole process simplistically, guiding me every step of the way. I now have a beautiful storybook to show off and reflect on when the boys are away. It was such a fun afternoon that the boys enjoyed also, as can be seen in the images.” – Sue

Georgia Barnes – Masterchef Personal Branding Session

• leanne •

It’s always a pleasure when I get to work with the talented Georgia Barnes who creates the most inspiring and delicious recipes I’ve ever eaten. I was thrilled when she contacted me to do a second Personal Branding Session for her and being the true professional that she is, it was perfect in every way.

I love working with clients who want to create new and modern portraits for their brand. From start to finish it’s so much fun planning every component right down to the finer details. We start with a chat about the look and feel of the images and the brand they have and what message they’re wanting to portray in their images that I will create for them. Having a private Pintrest board set up so we can both tag images that inspire us, is another way to really understand that we’re both talking the same language.

Enjoy this small selection of some of my favourite images from Georgia’s Corporate Branding Session … oh and head on over to her beautiful website to see not only some of my images but also to enjoy her delicious recipes – Georgia Barnes!

Eugene + Nikki + Patrick + Sophie – Shorncliffe Family Photographer

• leanne •

There’s nothing lovelier than walking barefoot on the beach, climbing rocks and enjoying a beautiful sunset with those you love most. That’s how this family chose to have their session on a spectacular afternoon at Shorncliffe.

Nikki had requested casual and relaxed images – something that would capture this particular time in her family’s life. I was thrilled when she chose my favourite sunset image of them to hang as a canvas in their home – a piece I know that will be treasured for years to come.

Enjoy this small selection of some of my favourite images from their session.

Isla – Greek Orthodox Christening Photography

• leanne •

Adorable baby Isla was christened in the Greek Orthodox Church of St George in Brisbane in a ceremony filled with tradition. She is the first child of proud parents, George and Stefanie, witnessed this very special occasion with their closest friends and family. The celebration continued afterwards at her grandparent’s home with a delicious lunch and one of the prettiest christening cakes I’ve ever seen.

The week following Isla’s Christening Day, she came and visited me for a mini portrait session so I could capture some classic images of her in her stunning christening gown. I love being able to do this for my families as it’s a chance to have some beautiful images taken away from the busy day that a christening can be. It allows the baby to be well rested and fresh for some special portraits.

Enjoy this selection of some of my favourite images from the day.

“I had seen photos that Leanne had done for some of my girlfriends and I loved them – they were so special and so I had no hesitations in working with her. She is so patient and took the time to get the right photos especially with the younger kids. Even when I said ‘don’t worry it doesn’t matter’ and couldn’t be bothered anymore she still cared enough to get the photos and I’m so so glad she did! Having Isla’s Christening Day photographed by Leanne was so worth the money as every moment was captured perfectly!” – STEFANIE

Mary – 90th Birthday Celebration

• leanne •

My dear grandmother, Mary, turned 90 years young this weekend and we celebrated with 48 of her nearest and dearest friends and family at Simla House at the Spicers Balfour Hotel in New Farm.

It was a beautiful gathering where we were able to honour her and celebrate this incredible milestone. There were a handful of wonderful speeches – Mary’s daughter, Katreena (my Mum), spoke from the heart as we tried to hold back the tears followed by the 3 great grandchildren, Genevieve 15, Ethan 15 and Joshua 12, who shared some delightful stories that had us all laughing.

I’m so thankful to have my remarkable grandmother in my life and I wish her only the very best – here’s to good health, much joy and lots of happiness always!
