Little Sunshine Photography bio picture
  • Welcome to the blog of Little Sunshine Photography

    Thanks so much for popping by. My name is Leanne and I love to photograph babies, children and their Families. My aim is to capture the relationships that exist in families and the personalities of each of the children I photograph, always in a natural environment.

    I am based in Canberra, and frequently travel to the South Coast from Batemans Bay to Moruya for beach portrait sessions.

    If you scroll down you will find sneak peeks from my more recent sessions as well as announcements of upcoming Little Sunshine events.

    If this is your first visit and you were after information on pricing or wanting to look at my portfolio please grab a coffee and head on over to my website.

    Thanks again for visiting, I would love to capture your Family memories.......

I adore the following Familly, and I am stoked that one of my favourite images ever is of this adoring Mother with her beautiful girls. Emma from Rocking Horse Music is an annual client and I love capturing her Families growth each Christmas.

Sibling shots are important shots to capture, it’s usually not hard as although there can sometimes be a fascard siblings really do adore each other. These sisters have no fascard, they are best friends. I hope this shines through the following image.

I also wanted to share this image, this beautiful girl whom I have been photographing for some time is such a creative deep thinker, I wonder what she is thinking?

Family Photographer Canberra | Capturing Togetherness

I had such a wonderful time photographing this extended Family just before Christmas. The cousins had such a great time spending time together and it was great fun for me to capture the Children playing together. The session was a gift for Grandma. PERFECT, which Grandparent wouldn’t love a shot of all their Grandchildren together!

They all seem so happy! Only a special talent, such as yours, can hope to do this. Congratulations on presenting us with such a wonderful session.

Katherine Durham - The first shot is just gorgeous! They must be over the moon with these!

Jackie - Awesome work with these!

Family Photographer Canberra | Capturing Family

I had the pleasure of photographing this Family late last year. They were such a connected loving Family that love nothing more than spending time playing together.

The setting we chose was a photographers dream. I have been meaning to try this location for some time as I am always looking for an opportunity to include the Brindabellas in my portraits. Having them in the background of the following portrait is a subtle reminder that we are in Canberra.

I just love photographing  3 year olds, and this little girl was no exception. She was so creative and full of personality. I hope in the following image I have captured her fun loving nature.

Baby Photographer Canberra | Playing Catch up

The lead up to Christmas was completely crazy! I feel so grateful to have such a thriving business but it does mean that anything that doesn’t involve getting my clients their artwork needs to take a back seat, and although I love showing off my Clients there just wasn’t the time before the holidays. Now we are well into ’go slow’ January keep posted for plenty of catch up blog posts:)

Here is one of the many children I was lucky to photography. Isn’t this little one gorgeous! I adored the way she feel so free and natural in such a perfect setting.

This little princess bought her Family along for some Family portraits too. It was hard to choose which to share on the blog as there were many great images, they were such a connected little Family. I finally choose this one as I think it tells the story of the care and devotion her 2 parents feel for her so she is free to enjoy her amazing life without a care in the world. I converted this image to black and white to keep the focus on this Families mutual adoration.

Baby Photographer Canberra | Christmas Baby

The beautiful baby from this Maternity Session has arrived and as I bet you predicted from the images of his brother and Mum, he is completely adorable! Lucky for me he has signed up for Little Sunshine Photography’s Baby package which means he will have a session with me again at 6 and 12 months. Here he is with his adoring big brother.

My goal when capturing the addition of a newborn baby into a family is not only to capture the features of the new baby but also the Families celebration. I adore the following image as it tells the story of a doting Father. Just the moments this little guy will want remembered when he is older.
