YOUR FERNIE PHOTOGRAPHER

Life’s best moments happen
when you’re doing something you love
with the people you love.


FAMILY | COUPLES | WEDDINGS

I create photographs for people who believe life’s best moments aren’t found in perfect poses – they’re found in shared experiences, spontaneous laughter, meaningful traditions, and the people who make life worth living.

Whether that looks like a wedding weekend in the mountains, a day at the lake, a horseback ride, a family adventure, or a relaxed portrait session, my goal is to create images that feel as genuine as the life you’re living.

Meet your local Fernie Photographer

Hi there, I’m Leanne!

The people I work with usually value experiences over perfection. They’re the kinds of people who jump in, play with their kids, travel well together, laugh easily, and care deeply about making the most of the time they have with the people they love.

That’s something I relate to deeply.

When I was younger, I lost several close friends in a tragic accident. It changed the way I see life and reminded me just how quickly things can change. Since then, I’ve carried a simple belief with me: this life is beautiful, fleeting, and meant to be fully lived.

That’s why the work I do is about so much more than photographs.

It’s about the people you love. The experiences you share. The traditions, adventures, celebrations, and ordinary moments that become the story of your life.

Whether it’s roasting marshmallows at sunset, chasing your kids across the playground, stopping for ice cream after the lake, picking wildflowers, riding bikes until the light fades, or simply soaking in an ordinary day together, I want your photographs to feel like more than a collection of images. I want them to feel like a piece of your life – the moments, relationships, and experiences you’ll be grateful to hold onto for years to come.

Exceptional photos and location by Leanne!
We’ve had family photos done by Leanne multiple times and she never disappoints. She finds beautiful settings and her pictures are clean and clear with top notch quality!

I feel totally confident in her ability and it’s a bonus that she knows all the great locations for photo shoots in Fernie and surrounding area!
I would not hesitate to have her take our photos again!

i view a photo as a way of…

recollecting what it means to be human

A photo shouldn’t just be something that collects digital dust but something that is printed in a photobook and has the ability to bring you back to a time, place and feeling…..

  • Yes, your kid really was that little once, with the cutest crooked smile
  • Your now-husband really did surprise you with that epic mountain top proposal
  • your mom really did hug you that tight on your wedding day
  • And that date-night photoshoot really did encourage you out of that dull rut in your marriage.
