LeAnne Johansen Photography bio picture

Welcome to my Blog!

In order to tell you why I love doing what I do, I have to make a confession. I have a horrible memory. I never know if I actually remember events or if I just remember them because I have seen photographs of them. Fortunately, I have always carried a camera everywhere, taking pictures of everything (much to the annoyance of many of my friends and family) so I can look back at the photographs and always remember!

Documenting every moment is the root of my style. I want you to be able to remember everything & everyone as they are at that time in their life.  Even if it means a baby is constantly making spit bubbles, or holds his fingers in his mouth, it isn't an imperfection, it is a memory of that time in their life. If a five year old is as crazy as can be, let's not force him to sit up straight and tilt his head to the camera, let's remember who he is.

I love working inside the studio and with nature as the backdrop. I love new babies, kids of all ages, seniors, families & weddings. I take pride in keeping my work modern and fresh by going to photography workshops and seminars throughout the year.

I look forward to meeting you and creating photographs so you are able to always remember the special moments in your life.

That’s the best word that describes these two girls – gorgeous!  We spent a couple hours wondering around downtown & had SO much fun… they probably thought I was crazy when I started by using a dumpster as a background… then moved to an alley that had a few shopping carts, old wagons, insulation to cover...

BIRTHDAY SMILES {and cries}

Wednesday, April 14, 2010 Posted in children, toddlers

This little guy had a nice long nap on the 2-hour trip to Eagle Lake & woke up with a ton of smiles for his session – we wore him out in the studio and then he crashed on their drive back home to Otsego!  His Mommy and I used to live down the street from one another and went to...

SPRING IS HERE!

Thursday, April 8, 2010 Posted in children, toddlers

Nothing says spring more than a fun pair of rain boots!  This little 18-month old girl came in with her pretty dress & her bright rain boots that she refused to take off for Mom before getting to the studio.  I thought they were great, so we put them on the correct feet and took...
