Leigh Schilling Photography bio picture

Welcome to my Blogsite!

Hello and welcome to my new blogsite!!

Its a Blog and Website in one.

My name is Leigh Schilling and I'm a photographer. I am based in the Bayside area of Melbourne Australia. I specialise in daylight portrait photography - maternity, babies, children and families. Candid and relaxed is my style.

I am the father of 2 gorgeous daughters - Elwood & Summer and I have a beautiful wife - Jade. You will see them appear here, from time to time.

This blog is where I'll post pictures from recent sessions as well
as other personal photography. My main hobby is Cycling, so I have included a page, with a few cycling images that I have taken. 

If you are interested in booking a session, have any
questions or just want to say "G'day", please click on the "Contact"
above. Thanks for visiting and check back often to see what I'm up to!

Cheers! Leigh.

Newborn Baby Lotus

Lotus was only 7 days old the day I took these images, she already had her entire family wrapped around her little finger. Not that there was much for her to need. She is a very calm little baby girl.  Low on fuss- only a small quiet whimper when she needs attention.  I wondered if...
