Hello! I'm Leanne
Photographer, Outdoor Adventurer and Mother of 5
I think in photos. I see expressions, light, and moments of connection and beauty everywhere, that I love to capture with the click of a shutter.
My favourite thing is to explore this beautiful planet.
I have this tension with wings and roots. I want to fly free, giving in to my wanderlust cravings.
But I also love my roots in the Canadian Rockies and the home and community we have built here.
For many years I worked as an outdoor instructor / adventure guide facilitating memorable experiences of skill and self-discovery in the mountains, rivers, rocks, trails, oceans and lakes of Canada and New Zealand.
Other things that make me smile?
Eating wild raspberries.
Long days of summer, dirty feet, tousled hair.
Running on trails.
Spending time with good people.
Finding a new recipe that is a keeper.
You are in good hands for an adventure you will never forget, and photos to treasure for a lifetime
About the Company
Born to Adventure was launched in 2014 as a way to combine three of my passions – love of the outdoors, family time and photography. I aim to give inspiration and information to other families who believe in the value of raising children in an adventurous way.
In 2018 my addiction to photography turned professional It is energized by the idea that beautiful memories need more than a smartphone selfie or an out-of-focus shot snapped by your six-year-old, your husband or a well-meaning stranger!
We all want creative and spontaneous photos without getting caught up trying to get the perfect shot. I take away that tension, and you get to be present in your moments. As a result, your photographs will be priceless and the best possible addition to the keepsakes of your life.
Born to Adventure aims to:
* Provide professional lifestyle and adventure photo experiences to families, couples, friend groups and extended families.
