Behind the camera
OK, I am typically behind the camera and not very often in front of it, but I think it’s important to show the face that is behind the camera to show who I am.
So who am I? If the name of my business hasn’t given it away, I am Lee-Anne-Rose. Yes those hyphens are a lot and thats my whole first name. I am named of 3 people and my parents thought that they’d give me lots of hyphens or as some people call them, dashes. I am a mom of 5 kids ranging from toddler to teen which means I am constantly on my toes and always on the go. Being a mom is one of the big reasons why I started my photography journey as a professional (cliché right?!). No surprise that I was that girl in elementary school who would bring a camera from time to time to snap away at recess or during school trips. My parents spent a lot of money at Costco to develop film when I was younger. Just after my daughter was born in 2012, my husband and I went out for the night at a friends house and this is where I had my first chance to actually play around with a proper DSLR, that instant I feel right in love. Shortly after that I went out and grabbed a Canon rebel t3 and started testing out my skills (spoil alert, my skills were TERRIBLE). Fast forward to a few months later I saw that the local college near me offered a 2 year Photography program which I signed up for and got accepted into and resulted in me getting a Diploma in Digital Photography in 2015. With my freshly framed diploma and new full framed Canon I started LeeAnne Rose Photography.
Aside from photography and being a mom what else do I do, you can find me hiding behind my sewing machine crafting up clothing for myself or kids and when not making something for us I am creating pieces to add to my client closet. During the warmer months, my husband and I are typically spending our time in the outdoors enjoying hikes, biking or day trips with the kids. With being a large family of 7 there’s never a dull moment in our home and this is something that I truly love.
