Love Letters from Clients
Norma
WOW Lecinda!
Thank you so much. I was inspired to take professional pictures after my friend passed away from cancer in February. She had the most amazing professional family pictures taken in the months before that. I wanted a memory like that, without being sick.
I am very grateful for these precious memories. Your work is brilliant.

Lecinda makes you feel so at ease and it shows in the photos she takes. She really captures the feelings!! I’m currently trying to pick my photos and finding it so hard because they are all so special. Thank you for the beautiful memories xxx

Open mouthed kind of ‘wow’!!! To see the photos that you were actually able to capture just blew me away!! My biggest fear was not getting any nice photos and that certainly did not happen!! What actually happened was it being so hard to pick only a certain number of prints when you really want to print them ALL!!
You made it easy and kind of relaxing! I was nervous and stressed going into our first session but quickly learnt that certainly wasn’t the case! Going into our second I was just excited thinking about all the new, beautiful pictures that would soon be on our walls!!
Well I did recommend you to my best friend Fiona and she has since had her first session with you and her little family not long after she saw our amazing pictures! Another friend of her’s Natalie saw her pictures and then booked you for her wedding!! Your work speaks for itself Lecinda... you are truly one talented lady!!
Your happy, infectious personality is such an added bonus in making your clients feel comfortable and have complete faith in you!! Can’t wait to see you again soon for our wedding photos.... our home will soon be a Lecinda Ward showroom will so many of your beautiful pictures all over our walls!

When I opened up my gallery, I felt pure busts of happiness and had a smile that I couldn't wipe off my face, followed by happy tears and a feeling of gratefulness that I decided to get these photos taken of my son and I.
I was so surprised at how many beautiful photos you captured from a mini session that was so far from structured and posed. I didn't want to be there for ages and my child getting bored and frustrated, and that was far from what happened.
The way that Lecinda captures you and your child is very unique and easy.. it's really just her capturing what's unique and special about you and your child in a really natural way. You don't need to pose at all. The photos are amazing and I absolutely love them. I'm so so happy I finally decided to invest in me and my gorgeous boy before he grows up and won't want photos with his muma anymore.. the love that she captures between a mum and child is really special. It makes me just as happy looking at the other mums photos, as the emotion is raw and real . You can feel it!
I also love the detailed guidelines on what to wear and how to coordinate without looking like a tragic 80s family photo. Professional and punctual and the photos are truly beautiful - thank you!!

Nobody shoots emotion + connection + humans like Lecinda does.
It’s always the happiest surprise when the edits arrive, and you just can’t believe she photographed the chaos of early years parenting, and managed to find all o’ the beauty in that chaos.
She’s a WIZARD.

When I saw our photos I was so glad that we had taken the plunge! They are full of love and happiness. My biggest fear was that it would be a waste of time and we wouldn't get any great photos because we were tired, run down or that the kids would be cranky.
Thank you for capturing photos of us just having fun and enjoying our children, they are the photos I really needed to have.
And thank you for getting us together for real family time, I loved it so much. I got so much enjoyment out of just focusing on us and making each other laugh, smile and play. THANK YOU!
Melissah
The best part was taking that time out to just be with each other - it felt like the world around us disappeared and it was just us (with Lecinda capturing the moment). Lecinda made it so easy to soak up all of that love and happiness, and that shows in the final product. I don’t know how she does it, but it meant everything to us! This is the lady you need to be your photographer - there is no one else!
Monika
There is a reason I have hired you for multiple photoshoots now. You just get it right every single time! Your photos are timeless and not posed. You are just capturing moments in their purest form, true happiness, loving each other, stealing kisses & belly full giggles. I promise if you give her a go you will never use another photographer again... I know I won't. You are worth every dollar!
Kim
I LOVED how you interacted with my three year old. I knew he was going to be “hard work”, but you made him laugh, feel important & comfortable with you - even my husband commented on how not painful it was. We love our photos so much, thank you again!!
Ebony
I was so worried that I wouldn't like the photos, but I LOVE them, and have printed them ALL. You captured my love for my son AND you managed to capture my 'good' angle which I didn't think was possible.
I loved that we connected, and I felt like I knew you, after just spending 20 minutes together! I also love that you are honest and professional too!
Nat
I'm so amazed that you could make us look so good! The first time I was worried that it would be a waste of money because the photos were shit! But of course, we love them all!
And we love hanging out with you! Because you’re fun and made all of us laugh! We love seeing you make the kids laugh so naturally!
I love the booking system, installment payments, email with what to wear etc, online contract is ace. Love how easy it to download final photos! It's so good!
And I love how you usually show a sneak pic on your social media soon after the shoot. Especially with a newborn shoot, because you just are so proud of your new baby and want the whole world to see.
Krystal
LECINDA!!! You absolute superstar!!
Thank-you very, very much from the bottom of our hearts for capturing our little family so beautifully. We are so grateful for your patience (not to mention meeting us so early on a freezing winter morning!) and for taking the time to get to know us a little as it certainly helped us all feel comfortable in your presence. We absolutely love the photos and have been gushing over them since they arrived, as have our extended families. I'm pretty sure as I type this my Mum is hanging her chosen photos on the wall.
I'm truly thankful to you that we now have such wonderful memories to treasure. Wishing you lots of success in the future (clearly you don't need it as you're so bloody talented!) and I hope our paths cross again.

In the lead up to the session I was worried that my husband would be a fool if we were required to pose... but everything was just ‘normal’ us and these moments were captured so naturally.
When I saw our photos I felt love and relief! I’m not the most photogenic person and I’m always the one behind the camera for my three boys. Lecinda captured our family perfectly and I proudly display so many of her photos up on our wall. I love every photo!
Venessa
The way you captured my family was just so lovely. The photos are truly beautiful. The same way I still feel today when I see them... my heart explodes.
Nothing about the session was awkward and staged, and I couldn't believe how beautiful the photos are. Plus the way you work was comforting too.
Carol
Before booking Lecinda I was worried that I'd be disappointed with the results; the same way I was disappointed with our wedding photos (by a different photographer).
I love our photos so much, when I saw them for the first time it was a moment of “I should have done this earlier" or "I want to do this every year”.
My kids were very comfortable with you and wanted to take photos. Also you made sure everyone got their share of photos taken with each other, which I really liked.
Emma
I was so happy I wanted to cry when I saw the photos!! My biggest fear was a gallery full of photos that I hated of me (most of all with double chins) but I love every single photo.
The fact that Vivie stayed happy the whole time made me feel so much more relaxed. You made it so easy and quick she wasn’t able to get upset and over it. You engaged with her and brought out her cheeky grins and bounced off what we liked to do to create the images.
You are fantastic, and I'm so thankful you know all the tips and tricks to not make me look fat whilst suffering the post baby body blues. I would say you brought out the best in not just Vivie but me too, and the images are proof.
I am beyond grateful for the photos that you took of me and Vivienne. An iPhone on selfie mode just cannot compete with that and I’ll cherish them forever.
Bec
From the moment I first saw Lecinda’s work, I knew that I *had* to get my little family in front of her lens. I absolutely adore her style, her incredible ability as a storyteller + her attention to detail. Lecinda, I am beyond grateful to you for all that you are + all that you do. Until our next session...
Kate
These photos capture the spirit of our family so perfectly. Not only were the photos beautifully taken, they displayed so much more than just the people in them - they embodied the love felt between us all, I was overwhelmed with happiness when I saw them!! My biggest fear was not getting any photos I liked. But Lecinda was, of course, amazing. Every photo we received was utter perfection and she made us feel so comfortable and at ease throughout the whole shoot.
