I decided to use Vicky's photographic
service on the recommendation of a
friend who had a million positive things
to say about her family's experience,
and of course, the most beautiful photos
to go with it.
Our experience was
beyond amazing, a truly fun filled
morning, which even with two young
children was completely stress free.
Initially, my husband and I were a
little anxious as to how our very active
toddler would behave on a photo shoot.
But the wonderful thing about Vicky's
style is that our children were given
the freedom to play, to truly be
themselves. This in turn produced
brilliant photographs, really capturing
their individual personalities and
spirits.
I can't thank Vicky
enough for the precious images of my
family that i will treasure forever. I
have had endless compliments on the
'naturalness' and beauty of the photos,
and genuinely recommend her to anyone
who seeks truly beautiful photographs of
their family, and an enjoyable time
creating them.

We have used Vicky's services for the
second time now to capture our children,
16 months and 3 years old. Both times
Vicky was fantastic and the images were
beyond our wildest imagination. The
images captured the true spirit and
range of emotions our children
expressed. Both shoots were natural with
no posing or props required, capturing
the children as they go about their
daily childhood adventures.
Equally amazing to the
quality and range of images is the
service offered by Vicky. Extremely
professional and friendly, but also
amazingly prompt service with our CD arriving
within 5 days of the shoot.
I would not hesitate
in recommending Vicky's services as we
are return customers, and would not even
contemplate using any other photographer
in the future.
Thompson Family
We booked Vicky for a
large family shoot, covering three
generations of our family. At all
stages, Vicky was flexible,
accommodating and made us feel that
nothing was too much trouble.
It was not easy
coordinating so many people, yet Vicky
was always patient and courteous.
We are thrilled with
the photos, purchasing many more than we
intended because of the high quality
(and very reasonable prices). Even those
of us who think that we never take a
good photo were pleased with the
results.
If you live in
Melbourne and are looking for a great
photographer, you can't go wrong with
Vicky!
Fiona Bryant
Vicky is just wonderful at what she
does, we had a lovely park scene with my
beautiful son Logan and my father. The
shoot was relaxed and it was so easy for
her get the amazing pictures that she
did. I will be coming back again when my
next child is born. Thanks again Vicky
:)
Elain
Both my husband and myself couldn't have
been happier with the photos we received
from Vicky. The session we had in the
park was also fantastic. We felt
immediately at ease with Vicky and were
amazed by the number and quality of the
photos. Vicky really does capture
the character of everyone she
photographs - she managed to capture all
the different expressions our daughter
makes and we will always treasure the
pictures. We look forward to
another session with her soon.
Rebecca Reynolds
Vicky captured the essence
of our daughter - every expression and gesture
that defines her growing personality. She
effortlessly puts at ease both children
and adults and thus captures the special
bonds between them and for us the obvious
joy that our daughter brings. Her photos
provide a permanent record of this lovely
age presented in a creative and flattering
fashion. I am uncharacteristically proud
to show these photos and are looking forward
to our next session with Vicky.
Alison Wray
Thankyou so much Vicky for the gorgeous
photos. They are divine and really
capture the essence and nature of our happy
little girl. Despite our baby becoming a
bit tired towards the end of the shoot,
you had an amazing ability to get the best
shots . You really knew how to tap
into the personality of our little family
and each of us as individuals. We
will always be able to look at these images
and remember this lovely time in our lives.
We would have no hesitation in recommending
your services to anyone looking for wonderful,
timeless images. You are truly a gifted
photographer and beautiful person.
Kellie
Vicky, thank you so much for our amazing
photographs. We were thrilled not only with
the quality, quantity and variety of timeless
photographs but amazed that we also enjoyed
the experience and are looking forward to
doing it again!! We would recommend you
anytime to anyone!
Lisa Bradley
Vicky, i would like to truly thank you for
the amazing service that you provide. I
felt that choosing a photographer for my
son was quite daunting, however you were
re-assuring right from the initial phone
conversation. Going to the park was ideal
as it allowed Dean the freedom to play,
whilst you captured some very precious moments,
both with us interacting as a family and
of Dean individually. The photos of Dean
were so natural and captured his many different
expressions, and in essence, his true personality.
The CD we received -within a week! - allowed
us to print the photos with great flexibility
and at a very reasonable price.
Vicky, we absolutely love
your photos and will cherish them forever.
Thankyou for taking such pride in your work,
and I would sincerely recommend you to others
who are wanting to take photos of their
children.
Zaf Efthimiou
I think the fact that we
purchased another 47 photos (on top of the
50 in the package) showed that we were very
happy with our family photos! Even though
our daughter cried through most of the session,
Vicky still managed to capture her happy
face when it appeared. I am so thrilled
that all our photos were gorgeous (even
the crying ones). Even though the shoot
was casual, we have a terrific combination
of natural action shots and more formal,
portrait ones to enlarge for relatives.
Vicky's service was also fantastic and being
able to see the photos so soon after the
session was great. I've had studio photos
before and based on price, service and quality,
I will definitely be recommending Vicky
to others. Thanks again.
Laura Bunn
My past experience of photographers is that
they want what you don’t want. I can truly
say that Vicky is not like this at all and
goes to great lengths to make sure that
both you and her connect and get the photos
you are after.
We were
very apprehensive on a cold , nearly rainy
day, that we would get the shots we wanted
but in a painless hour or so we were able
to get so many shots that we thought just
perfect and captured both us as a family
and also our son Davin' various moods and
temperament perfectly. The other great thing
is the service and communication, we had
our proof photo’s electronically the next
day and the CD within 3 days of choosing
our extra’s. The hardest decision you will
have to make is not choosing every photo
as a keeper.
Michael and Chantelle Kneale-Little
I just wanted to thank you Vicky for
your fantastic efforts. I don't know how
you did it! With a group the size of ours
and the three separate families to boot,
you were amazing. And how you ever got all
those photos of my little ones is amazing
as well. (My daughter is very much the irritable
starlet!) The turnaround from shoot to proofs
was extraordinary - to think we could have
our photos ready to take to the printer
within a week! Anyway, EVERY parent/family
needs to know about you...
Dani Gurrie
Vicky we can't thankyou enough for the amazing
photo's you took of our family. Between
my toddler who wouldn't co-operate and my
baby who cried the entire session we still
got the most wonderful photos and you managed
to capture the individual personalities
of each of the children. I was also impressed
by the way you interacted with my children
and included their special toy buddies in
the photos.
Thankyou,
the photos are priceless.

Sandford
My husband
and I have been singing Vicky's praises ever since
our photo shoot just before Christmas. We desperately
wanted to capture our memories as a new family after
the birth of our baby girl and also have family
portraits done while our interstate relatives were
visiting. Vicky was wonderful helping me to organise
the affair, keeping communications open and helping
us plan exactly how we wanted our family to be photographed.
On the day she was very professional and friendly
and put us all at ease straight away. The photographs
she captured that day have been my pride and joy
ever since! Even though Hannah slept through most
of the shoot, I was amazed at how many beautiful
shots she got of our darling in the brief moments
she was awake. Our friends and family loved the
photos we sent and my husband and I were thoroughly
delighted with the warm, natural and personal portraits
that preserve a very special time in our lives.
Thank you, Vicky for creating such a wonderful keepsake
for us, we look forward to more of your beautiful
work in the future as our family grows!
Rachel Wallace
"Vicky made both my son and I feel
completely at ease during the photo
shoot. She was very professional, at the
same time creating a relaxed atmosphere.
I was so pleased to see the results on
the CD and it was great to have them all
in both black and white and colour so I
could decide which I preferred to print.
I have sent lots of photos to relatives
and friends, who have all commented on
how beautiful the shots are.
Thank you, Vicky. I am thrilled with the
photos you took and am pleased to have
such a lovely record of this time in my
son's life."
Rebecca Andrew
"I
couldn’t have been happier after my experience with Vicky
Leon. She came into our house and was completely open to
suggestion and made my family feel at ease and comfortable.
She was fantastic with my 11 month old son, and improvised
when he was not feeling camera-ready. The turnaround was
speedy, and the end result was amazing. The photos captured
everyone in the family at their best – these are truly the
best photos of my son and my family to date. I have told
all my friends to hurry up and book her before she gets
booked out!"
Rachelle Unreich
"I
am in the magazine industry and have worked with many photographers
and Vicky is up there with the true professionals, both
in her execution of a photo shoot, and the end result, the
photos themselves. Being a mum herself, she understands
the temperaments of young children, and was able to easily
coax them into spontaneous and informal poses. She also
used varying techniques to make me, a more self-conscious
grown-up, feel at ease in front of the camera. Her use of
natural light gave the photos a lovely ambience and the
fact that all her images were burnt to a CD made it more
economical than buying prints direct from the photographer."
Simone Casey
"Even though I am exposed to
photographic images on a daily basis in my role as a senior marketing / retail consultant for
Kodak Australia, I was delighted with the photos Vicky Leon
took of my two children. The photos were creative but simple;
capturing my children’s personality perfectly. I love that
Vicky focuses on the child and their face and does not use
many props to detract from them. I love too that the photos
are given on a CD instead of charging for prints. This gives
me the freedom to use all the images any way I wish, without
having to pay large amounts of money for just a few photos.
Your children are only young for a short time, so I’m a
big supporter of capturing this time in photographs. I’d
recommend Vicky Leon to anyone."
Vivian Vrahos
"The
whole experience of working with Vicky was fabulous. She
made my son Jacob and I feel very comfortable and made the
session relaxing and fun. The photo's are timeless and are
great for giving to our friends and family. The best part
was that I didn't have to wait for ever or pay a fortune
for them. Jacob is my first born, and I will definitely
be back for the other kids. Thanks Vicky."
Dina de Rose
"Our
photos were simply extraordinary – there was honestly not
one that we didn’t like (even the ones of me, and that is
rare I can tell you!).
Vicky has a magical energy about her and my son responded
so well to her and this is really captured in her exquisite
photos, her pictures tell the story of his true essence.
Her professional but relaxed manner made it so easy to be
photographed. To be honest, I have an extreme ‘fear’ of
the camera, and have very few photos of myself and my children
– which really is a shame as childhood is so fleeting. However
Vicky made me feel so at ease, as she subtly snapped away
– and the fact that she is also a mother of a small child
meant that she had a full appreciation of the very short
time that children will cooperate before ‘losing it’. She
worked so quickly – it was all so painless, and the outcome
was so wonderful. We are now going to ask Vicky back to
take photos of the whole family – and I’m actually looking
forward to it! Thank you Vicky, we couldn’t be more delighted."
Louise Saxon
"Vicky
certainly has an eye for capturing the beautiful innocence
which exudes in young children. As my two were interacting
with each other and those around them, there was no posing
involved, so the photos reflected a natural flavour which
is very appealing to me. Vicky's relaxed attitude ensured
that my 2 1/2 year old little girl was comfortable around
the camera and my 6 month old son beamed continually! Needless
to say, I would highly recommend Vicky to friends, family
and acquaintances to provide memorable, high quality photographs.
"
Peggy Couper-Woods
I cannot praise Vicky enough for her professionalism and
her absolute creativity. She came to our place and
created this warm, relaxed and fun atmosphere for the family,
so much so that my girls (almost) forgot that they were
being photographed.
I absolutely love our pictures and proudly show them off
whenever I can. Vicky managed to capture the true essence
of my family and my girls, more so than a staged family
portrait ever would.
I have no hesitation in recommending her to anyone, and
will definitely be booking in again for another family shoot.
Thankyou!
Tracy Rankins
My husband and I aren't fond of having our photos taken
but we wanted to mark our daughters 6 month birthday and
Vicky captured this moment beautifully. She made us feel
comfortable during the photo shoot which in turn produced
the most beautiful photos of our daughter that we will treasure
forever.
I would like to thank Vicky once again for helping us celebrate
our daughters half birthday milestone through her photography.
We certainly wont hesitate using Vicky again when we expand
our family.
