anthony + helen + harry + alec + bruno

I’ve known these boys since the day they were born.

In fact, I’ve known their Mum, Helen, since I was a young teenager – so we go a long way back.

It was really great to be asked to photograph them in one of my favourite locations.

They are so fortunate to call these gardens their front yard so it only seemed appropriate to photograph them here.

Enjoy a handful of some of my favourite photos from their session.

karen + jacob + oliver + oscar

This session has to be up there as one of the best kept secrets ever!

Karen, mum to Jacob, had organised for her 2 nephews, Oliver and Oscar,

to sleep over and then come with her to a secret photo session with me the next morning.

This was all planned last August as a Christmas gift to the boy’s parents

and we were all sworn to secrecy!

There was much excited and heaps of laughter as we kept thinking if we could all pull it off.

It was a huge success and the looks on Oliver and Oscar’s parent’s faces were priceless

when they opened their images on Christmas morning.

(Yes, iphone pics were sent to me)

So now that I’m not part of the biggest secret in history,

I’m excited to share some of my favourite photos from the session.

madalena – confirmation day

It was a pleasure to photograph Madalena on this very memorable day – her Confirmation Day.

With her proud parents and her younger sister, Amelia, looking on,

she was as ‘pretty as a picture’ as the saying goes.

What a beautiful way to start the New Year

… an adventure walk climbing through a rainforest and then back down and over the black rocks,

looking for shells and soaking in the stunning views of the Gold Coast.

jonathon

• leanne •

There are simply not enough beautiful words to describe baby Jonathon.

I’m in love with his gorgeous, happy go lucky nature

and he was an absolute delight to photograph.

So happy that his big sister Kaitlyn joined him in some photos.

You may recall her special fine art wall print – here!

good morning fletcher !

• leanne •

I can’t resist sharing the very last photo that I took this morning

of gorgeous Fletcher with his proud parents, Mick and Sarsha.

Such a darling!

Happy New Year 2014

• leanne •

So excited to welcome the New Year

with this photo taken of 5 month old Jonathon and his almost 3 year old sister, Kaitlyn.

Look how he adores her!

the wilkie family album

• leanne •

The Wilkie Family chose to have their images printed in a

custom designed 10×10 inch family album.

I can’t think of a more beautiful keepsake

and know they will look at their photos over and over again.

Imagine owning an entire book full of photos that tell the story of your family.

I adore these books!

ana + nick + baby zara mila

• leanne •

Zara Mila … is the sweetest little angel.

So petite and delicate and perfect in every way!

She gazed into her adoring parent’s eyes for a while

and then slept, as they say, ‘like a baby’.

Thank you Nick and Ana for asking me to photograph your very precious little girl.

She is so lucky to have you both as her parents.

Enjoy a small handful of some of my favourite photos.

Marco – Brisbane Greek Christening Photography

• leanne •

It was a beautiful spring day.

The sun was shining and baby Marco was surrounded by those who loved him on his Christening Day in the glorious St George Greek Orthodox Church.

Marco is a truly wonderful baby.

He has the most gentle, sweetest nature – calm and placid and simply divine.

And on this memorable day, he was just as easy going as ever.

The celebrations continued on at Northshore Riverside Cafe.

It was nothing short of magical, not only for all of the children but also for the adults who ate, drank and Greek-danced their way into the evening.

The dessert bar was nothing short of sensational.

Created by the amazing Chez Nous Corporate who’s imagination was limitless with this delicious selection of desserts.

The styling was impeccable thanks to Chez Nous Corporate and Styled Events.

A gorgeous blue and orange colour scheme teamed with a fabulous chevron design, ensured that this day was unforgettably unique.

Please enjoy this selection of my favourite photos – it was truly a very magical day.
