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.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Tuesday, December 22, 2009 Posted in families

I just wanted to take a few minutes to thank everyone for a wonderful year!  You have all changed my life in ways you cannot even imagine.  I have been blessed to have been able to meet newborn babies just days after they were born and to celebrate milestones such as first smiles, sitting up, first steps, first birthdays, laughter among families, graduating seniors, wonderful couples celebrating engagement, beautufil brides meeting their handsome grooms for the first time.  I have had SO MUCH FUN and I thank you for sharing these moments with me and I hope that I was able to capture the memories for you, so you will always remember & enjoy them forever!

On another note – we have decided to put our house on the market and move back to the Twin Cities area.  My husband accepted a job in Bloomington, so when our house sells, we will be heading up that way.  We are planning on staying in the southern suburbs, so not too far for those of you in the Mankato area, and for those of you in the Cities – I’ll just be closer!!   I will keep you posted!

Have a safe and Happy Christmas! :)
