With our sweeping views across the Brisbane river, Leah has captured the stunning light, vistas and given the rooms 'personality' which is exactly what we were after. Leah is the consummate Professional and worked quickly and efficiently with our staff to avoid major disruptions to our busy office and had put forward many creative ideas further to our brief.

Firinn Financial
Leigh Tyson - Managing Director"I had never focussed on my personal brand properly before and always settled for very basic 'head shots' and typical corporate portrait. I really wanted photos of myself to show my personality and the 'real me'. Leah conducted an extensive pre-engagement discovery session and two things struck me straight away, 1) Leah was very approachable and knew the best questions to ask in order to tease out what I was looking for, and 2) based on my responses Leah understood where I was coming from in depth very quickly. The photos session itself was fantastic! When I saw the post production results I simply couldn't believe it. The photos were so good I was speechless! The most amazing thing is Leah managed to capture the essence of me, and my unique personality, which no-one had managed before. Leah's work is amazing and I would not hesitate to recommend her services to others."
Vita Group
Maxine Horne - CEO"Leah was an absolute pleasure to work with! Our usual photographer was not available so we asked Leah to help out with photos of our leadership team for use on our website and in our Annual Report. We were thrilled with the results and as a result, we intend to make Leah our regular photographer. Just as importantly, Leah was easy to deal with, accommodating our every need, and making us all look great in the end!"
McKelvey Law
Sarah Miller - Principal"Leah, we cannot thank you enough. Our new website photos are beautiful! Professional photos can often be an uncomfortable process but you put all of us at ease with your warm and friendly nature from the second you walked through the door. We were concerned our office space would detract from the photos but you have worked a miracle! If anything, the space only adds to the images. Our photos are perfect and we couldn't be happier. Thank you!"
U on Sunday Magazine
Damien Anthony Rossi - Brand Ambassador"Quite simply, Leah Desborough is at the top of her game. When one thinks of truly great photographers in Brisbane, Leah’s name is one of the very first to spring to mind. Professional, talented, creative, innovative and efficient are all adjectives I would use to describe Leah. When it came time to do new professional shots, there was only one photographer I would entrust with such a monumental task and that was Leah. I loved her ideas for our shoot and she made it relaxing and entertaining. I was extremely pleased with the final result. Images that represent me and my personal brand in exactly the way I had expressed. Leah has a keen eye for and comprehensive understanding of the photographic medium and it is obvious in all of her work. She is a perfectionist who delivers nothing less than perfection."

Rice Naughton McMarthy Family Lawyers
Anne Marie Rice - Partner"Leah Desborough is a genius, a wizard and a delight. Not only is she an exceptional photographer (the images speak for themselves) but her capacity to quickly get to know her subjects and to put them at ease means she is able to capture their essence and to create remarkable images that speak warmly to both the subject themselves and to the objective viewer. To create “a feel of strangers” that resonates comfortably with those strangers is a finely honed art. To do it with inanimate objects is a gift. Leah has both the finely honed artistic skills and the gift. I cannot recommend Leah highly enough – not only for her work but the way she does it. A delightful professional – we are lucky to have found you. Thank you Leah for so elegantly capturing our firm, and each of the divergent individuals who make it work, so beautifully."
Amily - Amicable Families
Eva Samaranch - Director"Leah is an exceptional photographer. Her real talent shines through when you can see how she is able to translate who you are and what you do into beautiful images. It's a bit like magic: from conversations where I was only imperfectly able to articulate what I was after, Leah produced a series of professional portraits that reflect how I see myself. The process was also a bit like magic. Leah made me feel very comfortable, we chatted and laughed, changed backgrounds, outfits, locations, had some coffee and played with the cat. And voilà! I had more than 100 photographs to choose from. Such a difficult choice. It is a rare honour to work with someone who is so good at her craft."
SP Event Design
Sharon Penny - Director"The Best of the Best’. In short Leah is a genius at what she does and confidently knows how to capture the essence of an event - the styling, experience and of course the people. I am so happy to have finally found a photographer that equally shares the creative passion and dedication to capture not only the details but harness the heart and soul that complete the visual story."
Your Musculoskeletal Specialist
Paula Nutting - Director“I have known lots of really talented photographers in my travels around the Globe but none who have the insight of Leah Desborough. She takes the image and makes it her own, you feel comfortable right from the start and as a business person, I wanted someone to understand what I was about. Leah has managed to capture who I am and infuse it into every photo she produced. I will definitely be calling on her again and again for any future work.”

She's an incredible professional, has a wonderful eye and the ability to get just the perfect shot. She's also extremely personable and made the whole experience enjoyable. Highly recommended."

Darb Bridal Couture
Brad Webb - Director"I have worked with and collaborated with Leah many times over the years. We recently collaborated on shoot specifically of editorial style shots the later featured on my website and were picked up by 'polka dot bride' and 'on trend' bridal magazine as editorial features. I always enjoy working with Leah as I can plant seeds of ideas or throw a whole concept in her direction and she turns the images into works of art. I have always found that when your path keeps crossing with people over the years it's no coincidence but rather a meeting of like minds and Leah's work never fails to live up to the mark."

We would highly recommend Leah for any of your photographic requirements."
Melissa Communications
Melissa Collins - Director"It was definitely time to update my websites, social media profile and business branding for my voice-over and media work. I had been procrastinating about doing it, mostly because I was nervous about the right way to approach it. I asked friends to recommend a photographer, and that was how I met Leah. She had me at hello! I just loved chatting with her about my business as we discussed her ideas around what she thought might work best with a branding shoot. I knew right away I was in excellent hands. As photo day approached, I was pretty nervous however, it was liberating, fun, scary and challenging, and I was indeed out of my comfort zone, as I should have been. Photoshoots don't happen every day for everyone. I was thrilled with the results and cannot recommend Leah highly enough."
Elston Financial Services
Nicole Meredith - Marketing Director"Not only does Leah produce beautiful photos but she is great to work with and makes everybody feel at ease. She easily translates the brief and adds suggestions to make the photos amazing. We use Leah regularly for all our photography needs."
