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.......

Baby Photographer Canberra | I’m Back!

To my dear neglected blog followers…… I am sorry. I have been busy and have so many gorgeous sessions to share, I have just been a bit……OK a LOT slack on the blogging front. I am back now ready to bombard you with all my gorgeous new and repeat clients.  To begin, check out this little cutie, he is one of my baby planners who came with his adoring Family back for his midyear session. Here he was as a tiny newborn, and then again while his Family were preparing for his birth.

I love to photograph babies, I love their innocence and the way they are always being themselves. Its only now my children are grown that I realise how important portraits taken at that 9 – 10 month age are. It is my childrens own baby portraits that I love to look back and celebrate their similarities and differences.

As I have mentioned numerous times previously, I also love the capture the bond between siblings. These brothers already have a mutual adoration of each other, and is a bond that is only going to get stronger.

Family Photographer Canberrra | It’s all about the light

I had a fantastic early morning session with this little one and her Family. Isn’t she adorable! There are so many things that go through a photographers mind when creating an image, for me my 2 priorities are good light and connection. I choose to share the following image because well, I love it! I love the light in this magical location and I love the way this little treasure is connecting with me, reciting her favourite book, which of course has her best friend Winnie in it:)

Canberra Baby Photographer | Happy 1st Birthday!

It has been such an honour to photograph this little guy on his journey to 1. This was his third supermodel performace, his other sessions can be viewed here and here. I love the memories that I have created for him and his Parents as they look back on their own journey of parenthood and that eventful first year. The year that parents learn that no matter how much they want to be or pretend to be, another little person is completely in control! These two are amazing parents. Completely in love with this amazing child and are so good at availing him to all nurturing experiences, including the important texture exploration of the outdoors. I love this first image, it tells the story of an inquisitive intelligent baby taking such delight in simplicity as he learns from his environment. Each and every time I capture these essential baby delevelopments I know I have done my job in documenting the true essence of a child. The one thing I strive for most in my photography.

I had such a hard time choosing another image that tells the story of this family, there are so many that celebrate the loving way Mum, Dad and Baby C all interact with each other. I finally decided on this one as I love the way baby C is the star of the show (again showing his inqusitive advernturous nature) while his adoring parents are in the background playing a supporting role as they watch and celebrate their Son conquoring the world.

A and E, thank you for allowing me to document your gorgeous Son’s first year through my images. I will be in touch as soon as I can when your full gallery is ready.

Baby Photography Canberra | Lucky little Guy!

 

Baby Photography Canberra

I had a great sessions with this Family on Saturday evening. We were both a little nervous with the weather but thankfully the light couldn’t have been more perfect! I loved this little guy, so happy to chill wherever but his favourite place was in his Daddy’s arms playing the favoured game of many babies……Aeroplanes!
