 Hey there! Welcome to my site.  Grab a cup of coffee and make yourself at home. Here’s a little bit about me and why I love the business of telling your story!

Photography has been my creative outlet of choice for over a decade.  Starting like many first time mothers when my oldest was born. I couldn’t get over his amazing little hands, feet, that first smile, first tooth… the crazy messes he could make, his steely blue eyes and amazingly cautious and thoughtful gaze.  I also couldn’t believe how fleeting and fast each moment was. It became important to me early on to document the everyday life moments that made my life so beautiful, messy, and wonderful all at the same time. I realized that this creative outlet could possibly be more… and more it has become!  Every day for me is an exercise in seeing the beautiful… in the shadows and in the light. Four kids later and many albums full of memories and photographs… I find my kids on the living room couch many mornings pouring over these books. What I want them to see is that life is beautiful (even if it’s messy)… they are loved… and important… and that the little moments although at the time seem small become cherished memories.

I consider it an honour to walk beside families as they grow.  My sessions are fun and full of connections! I give a fair amount of direction to help those that are uncomfortable or camera shy (dads!)... but when the beautiful candid moments of life happen I know when to step back and let the magic happen. I would consider my style to include simple and classic portraits mixed together with laid back lifestyle images that capture family connections and children’s natural personalities.

Lovely Thoughts

hear from some recent clients

We had Leanne Doell Photography take our family pictures for our son’s first year birthday and cake smash. I absolutely love the pictures she captured of our children and family! Leanne’s patient, friendly, and easy going nature made the whole experience wonderful for our children, and us! I appreciated her creativity with different ideas for pictures and ability to come up with alternative options quickly when our son wasn’t that interested in “cake smashing”. Loved her backgrounds, props, and clothing options as well. I’m thankful to have such a talented photographer right here in our little town!

Leanne was so wonderful to work with, and she has a way with kids. She took our family pictures (2 adults and 3 kids ages 3 months to 7 years) and had us all smiling and laughing together! She valued our time and got in many shots with different poses in different spots. I love how she captured our family with her bright, vibrant style of photography, leaving us with so many favourite photos to choose from!

Leanne captures beautiful photos with creativity and imagination. She is professional, accommodating and provides an amazing final product. She is great with kids and finds the perfect shot even when dealing with un-cooperative toddlers! Our family has worked her many times and have always been pleasantly surprised. We love her work!

Leanne is a fantastic photographer. We’ve done 10 sessions together so far and have been very pleased with all of them. Leanne is very patient with kids and willing to be exceptionally creative in order to get the best pictures.
