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.......

Lovely Rain! ~ Canberra Children’s Photographer

12 comments

My session was obviously cancelled this weekend, haven’t we had some good rain! I am not complaining of course, we needed the rain and I enjoyed a snuggly day with my family. Make sure you pop back in a few weekends when my clients have rescheduled. I can’t wait to do their session, we’ll be celebrating the Australian bush as we soak up some late winter sunshine.

On another note, it’s really hard being 2 when all you want to do is play outside. After playing with trains, cars, and a bit of Disney, OK a LOT of Disney I took these as Reece was staring out the window looking at the puddles he should be jumping in! This was not a planned shoot so please ignore the wrinkled PJ’s. Oh and if you have a session booked and are planning on wearing stripes please iron them, I learned today that creases in stripes cannot be edited out! Creative processing is not something I often show on my blog, normally sticking to my signature natural look or classic Black and Whites. However every now and again I take a photo that screams for something a little different. Here is Little Sunshine Photography’s Blueberry edit.

Picnic in the Park! ~ Canberra Family Photographer

24 comments

I had the best time on Saturday afternoon, picnicing with the amazing family of Joey Roberts. The Roberts family, along with Joey’s devoted carer Dani popped down from Cootamundra for a weekend of fun, including a session with me.

Joey was born with congenital Cytomegliovirus (CMV) and as a result faces many challenges in life. Through the support of his family, and I believe the community of Cootamundra he lives his life to its fullest. Joey loves his family, Dani and donuts, so a picnic with his favourite things as he listened to his Dad sing in a park on a sunny autumn afternoon seemed a fabulous way to celebrate his life.

If you would like to support Joey and learn more about CMV then head to the Prickly Pear Facebook fanpage and purchase some of the gorgeous hair accessories made by Joey’s Mum. All proceeds help cover the cost of Joey’s treatment. These products are fabulous for the little ladies in our lives, who as we all know love their accessories.

Enjoy your sneak peek you amazing Family!

and one of Dani, Joey’s carer. I think big sister to the whole family is the most accurate way to describe this inspirational young person!

Mini Session Day ~ Canberra Baby Photography

23 comments

WOW there were some gorgeous blue eyed beauties yesterday at Little Sunshine Photography’s Mother’s Day Mini Session Day!

This little one melted my heart, if he was mine he would get ANYTHING he wanted, how could anyone say no to these eyes and that sweet pouty mouth? Thank you B & L I have some great shots for you, many showcasing little C’s adorable smile. I just couldn’t go past this one to blog as I think it shows his obvious intelligence as he was working out what I was doing!
