Meet your local Fernie Photographer

Hi there, I’m Leanne!

Google would like me to introduce myself as ‘Fernie wedding, family, couples and brand photographer but I prefer Chief-Exploration-Officer. I know the Fernie secrets and hidden gems inside and out and I want to show you!

Most of my clients come to me from out of town so not only can I be your vacation paparazzi, I can help with travel/adventure planning ideas so you can make the very most of your time in our gorgeous mountain town.

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.
