I was thrilled to be asked to photograph the Christening day of Peter and Kelly’s second born child, Matheos. It had only been a couple of years earlier that I had photographed Christos, their first born, on his Christening day. It was held at the magnificent St George Greek Orthodox Church in South Brisbane followed by lunch at The Greek Club.
Twelve year old Dimitri was asked to be Matheos’ Godfather as both Peter and Kelly share a close connection with his parents. He proudly accepted the responsibility and did a wonderful job throughout the ceremony.
I photographed Matheos a few days later in a mini session wearing his beautiful christening outfit, shoes, hat and cross.
Besides choosing a beautiful storybook album, 4 large pieces of wall art for the wall, and some smaller framed prints for the family, it was also a pleasure to create the thank you cards for Matheos featuring four of my absolute favourite images of him.
“Leanne has a calm and composed style. On the day of Matheo’s christening she didn’t intrude on the event but she got the right involvement in the important parts of the ceremony and function. I found the christening experience great – I loved the beautiful wall art pieces that I chose , the wonderful album which will be an heirloom piece for my children and the private photo session we had to show off the christening outfit and capture some classic portraits. Leanne has an artistic, creative flair with an eye for detail and colours. I just love her work! ” – Kelly Maniatis
