Mal + Rina + Elliott + Bella + Pepper – Wilston Family Photography

It was a beautiful morning for a family session at the Brisbane Powerhouse. It’s always such a fabulous location and it was made even better by hanging out with these guys. I loved that they brought their dog, Pepper, with them – the much loved 5th member of this family.

Enjoy this selection of some of my favourite photos from their session.

“Leanne is really casual, which is great, but not at the cost her professionalism or the quality of the photos. Everything was so easy and she managed to glean some great pics out of all of us.” – Rina

When deciding on how this family wanted to enjoy their favourite photos from their session, I sent them a ‘mockup’ with a suggestion on how they could create a beautiful wall gallery using both their existing images and their new favourite images. They already had the vision to start a ‘family wall gallery’ but seeing an actual ‘mockup’ made it so much easier to visualise how the finished product might look. I recommended Andrew, from Art of Hanging, who is fabulous at perfectly hanging art and I love that the finished result is uniquely them. Take a look at THE BEFORE, THE SUGGESTION and THE AFTER photos.

BEFORE – a handful of photos from previous sessions

SUGGESTED MOCKUP – using the old photos plus the new photos

AFTER – how fabulous is this! Both old and new photos hanging together.

It’s getting closer !

While most of us will be in denial about how close Christmas is,

it is definately fast approaching.

So with less than 15 weeks to go, I thought it might be time to make life just a little easier and suggest a beautiful Gift Voucher from Leanne Stamatellos Photography.

It’s a thoughtful gift that will put a smile on anyone’s face.

Whether it be a gift for a gorgeous couple who simply want to celebrate their love,

a family who want to remember their children just the way they are,

or maybe a gift for your favourite school teacher from all the students!

It is beautifully presented and all ready to be put under the tree.

There is no limit to the value of your Gift Voucher – that’s up to you – and it can be used for any type of session or package.

I hope this brings you much joy and happiness and takes alot of the worry about finding the perfect gift this Christmas!

Take care, Leanne

Latest deliveries!

So often I don’t get a chance to photograph all the beautiful products that arrive before they get sent away to be enjoyed by the family that ordered them.

I managed to snap a few pics of some recent ones including a gorgeous canvas from this family’s session – it’s definately a favourite and already hanging in their home.

And a canvas of my boys to be enjoyed near their play room.

Larger than life – oh I love this!

And these stylish black and white prints, matted and framed. They will be hung as a set of four and will be such a wonderful keepsake for this family.

jordan’s album

• leanne •

I’ve had quite a few album orders arriving these last few weeks and this was definately one I was extra keen to get my hands on.

You may recall Jordan’s photo session not that long ago – take a look here.

–

This is a beautiful 10×10 leather covered album and the 20 sides are wonderfully thick and sturdy.

There are so many photos inside and I know it will be a great reminder of her fantastic day.

And I wanted to share a couple of photos of Peta – who was one of the many girls that attended the Pre-dinner party – doesn’t she look incredible !

Makes me wish I was planning my School Formal again.

USA Album – it has arrived!

• leanne •

To say I was excited when I found the little card in my letterbox to say I had an international parcel waiting for me to collect, was an understatement.

–

I raced down to the newsagency in my local suburb which doubles for a mini post office and couldn’t wait to get home.

When I opened the box the first thing I saw were a pair of white gloves!

I knew it was going to be good – and I wasn’t disappointed.

–

The album is superb quality.

It’s certainly not traditional – it’s a modern coffee table style album of the highest standard.

It comes with an incredible slip case with your choice of title embossed in silver foil.

–

Take a look – I’m sure you’ll love it as much as I do!

100 pages of USA !

• leanne •

I’m so excited that the photo album I have been working on is finally finished. After my trip to America earlier this year, I decided to choose my favourite photos and compile a massive 100 page album using one of the leading Album companies that I saw at the WPPI conference in Las Vegas. It’s been a huge task sorting through thousands of photos but I’m really looking forward to getting the album in the next few weeks.

In the meantime, if you’d like to look at an online version of my Photo Album just click on the link below. I’ll be sure to share photos of the real thing once it arrives.

Canvas delivery

• leanne •

Last week I had a canvas delivered with an image taken from Frankie’s session.

I couldn’t help but take a photo to share – it was a lovely 20×30 inch canvas and Frankie looked larger than life. I almost couldn’t part with it.

Photo Album design

• leanne •

I wanted to talk about Photo Album design – I absolutely love albums.

When a client has a session with me they have the opportunity to have an album made up with their favourite images from the session in it. It’s really simple … they choose the photos and I put the layout design together for them to approve and then off it goes to be printed.

And it’s not just brides that want an album – heaps of families are loving them because they can put them on the coffee table for all their friends and family to enjoy.

I have 2 beautiful types of albums that I love to create.

1. A coffee table album with a hard cover that has ‘your’ image on the front.

The pages are like a magazine only thicker and the quality is beautiful – your photos will look amazing!

2. This beautiful work of art – aptly named the Dream Album – is a stunning piece.

The cover also has your image on it and the pages are 2mm thick, durable and easy to clean.

This album is desgned to last a lifetime.

I thought I would share an example of how the pages might look inside an album.

Of course, when the photos are from ‘sue + elise’s’ session

then it’s bound to look pretty gorgeous!

Storyboard Collages

• leanne •

I wanted to share the storyboard collages that I created from a recent session in Sydney.

I love them so much because they can really tell the story and capture the moment so much more than a single image can sometimes – they look great on the wall framed with a simple white or black frame or even foam core mounted which is light and has that modern look to it.

Don’t they just make you want to smile?

Fleur – 40th celebration

• leanne •

I am so fortunate to have such amazing clients who are open to ideas.

A while ago, Fleur asked me to photograph her birthday party and I knew it would be a great night.

She also asked if I would create her invitations – one thing lead to another and I created that and so much more for her.

It was a pleasure to work with someone who trusted me completely and loved the final result.

Some of you may remember this photo of the box with all the goodies I had made.

Well, scroll down and you’ll get to see what was inside along with the gorgeous Fleur at her Party!

A clipboard for guests to sign in and leave birthday wishes, envelope address labels, candy bag labels, save the date emails.

A powerpoint presentation for her to put her photos growing up and shown on the night.

Some pretty wrapped ROLO bars and candies.

The gorgeous Ms Fleur!

Simply stunning!

Her cupcakes in paper lace cases.

An amazing candy bar – so glad you went with this idea Fleur – I’m sure you’ll have clients asking you to organise this for their functions too.

The take home candy bags.

and a favourite photo of Fleur’s son under the candy table – so cute!

Thanks Fleur for asking me to capture these and many more photos at your 40th Birthday party – you looked amazing!
