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.

On Sunday I headed down to Port Melbourne to catch up with some friends, take my daughters out for a play down the beach and park and spent an hour taking some pics of the bike racing around White St, Port Melbourne. A fun morning was had by all. My daughters as photographers assistants and...
Ned is little over a week old and is already the object of his big sister Sophie’s attention. He is such a cool and laidback baby. Not to mention his unbelievably cool name! How good is Ned?
Not fussed if he gets passed around, woken up or poked in the face by inquisitive little fingers. Big...
From the 2-5 January 2010, Geelong and Williamstown hosted the 21st edition of the Jayco Bay Classic. Billed as the fastest cycling criterium series in the world. Many of the top Australian and Overseas riders use it to brush up on the training for the Tour Down Under, or to win it, in its own...
I finally showed the images to the wonderful Jel & Dee. Baby Lily had a first, falling asleep in Mummies arms, whilst watching the DVD show. Made for a peaceful time and fitting end to the afternoon.
Here are some more images from the session.
