Why Lee-Ann photographs
Lee-Ann describes her work with a line from the American photographer Aaron Siskind:
“Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever… It remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything.”
In her own words: “I absolutely love being able to capture special moments with my clients.” On her Facebook page she puts it simply: let her capture all your precious moments in life, from family shoots to maternity shoots to anniversary shoots, and everything in between.
Her style: natural, bright and airy
“My style of photography is very natural. I want my clients to enjoy every moment, just relax and have fun.” For weddings, she says, the style is led by the personality of each couple and by the theme of the day, and she loves a bright and airy look.
