Leafy’s Lens was born from love… and from loss 💔
Before all the shows, the flowers, the beautiful moments I get to capture now… there was one moment that changed everything for me.
All I wanted was a photo — my beautiful mum with my beautiful daughter. Just one moment in time, the two of them together. Something simple… something I thought I’d always have time for.
But life doesn’t always wait.
And when my mum passed, that moment became something I could never go back and capture. That’s when it truly hit me — how important photos really are. They aren’t just pictures… they are memories, love, connection, and sometimes, they are all we have left.
That feeling, that heartbreak, is what shaped Leafy’s Lens into what it is today.
Every smile I capture, every hug, every candid laugh at a show, every family moment, every flower picked, every celebration… it all matters. Because one day, those photos will mean everything.
I don’t just take photos — I hold onto moments for you. The ones you might not realise are important right now, but will become priceless over time.
If there’s one thing I’ve learned… don’t wait. Take the photo. Be in the photo. Capture your people, your love, your life — exactly as it is.
Because memories fade… but photographs keep them alive forever 💛
My mum was such a wonderful woman and I spend the rest of my life trying to make her proud ...and gosh she was a hoot !! 🥰😂
In honour of Lynette May Oakes 😪😍
