SAPPHIRE SKIES PHOTOGRAPHY
DENVER'S PREMIER MATERNITY, NEWBORN & FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER
Providing Luxury Photography Services Throughout The Denver Metro Area, Including Parker, Centennial, And Aurora.
WELCOME TO SAPPHIRE SKIES PHOTOGRAPHY
My name is Leanne Skinkle. I am a lifestyle photographer based in Aurora, Colorado, but I serve the entire Denver Metro Area including Parker, Centennial, Highlands Ranch and more! I love to capture vibrant, beautiful moments that create a lasting memory for you display with pride and look back on for years to come. I would describe my style as lifestyle/documentary with a bit of portraiture mixed in.
During my sessions I aim to capture the natural, joyful moments between your family, whilst also ensuring that I capture some more traditional images.
As a passionate lifestyle photographer, I thrive on capturing the raw emotions and heartfelt connections that make each family unique. The breathtaking landscapes of Colorado, especially the mesmerizing sunsets, serve as the perfect backdrop for preserving these cherished moments.
At the core of my photography lies a deep appreciation for the genuine and intimate moments found within families. I love in-home newborn sessions, where each family's distinct personality and style shape the narrative of the photographs.
There's something profoundly special about freezing moments in time, knowing they will become treasured memories for years to come. As someone who cherishes reminiscing over childhood images, I understand the power that these snapshots have in encapsulating not just faces, but also the essence of a place and a moment. From the tiny toes of newborns to the laughter of growing families, I revel in the joy of capturing life's most precious milestones.
ABOUT ME
Hello,
My name is Leanne. I specialize in maternity, newborn and family photography in the Denver metro area. My goal is to document real, authentic moments during your session. I will guide you throughout the session so that I can capture a combination of posed images and the beautiful, candid moments in between.
A little more about me........
I AM A MOM, TO TWO SWEET, ENERGY FILLED LITTLE BOYS...
My boys are full of beans and do NOT like posing for photos. So please do not worry if you have boisterous little ones, they will not be expected to spend an hour posing for photos. I expect children to act like children. I will speak to you before the session to find out some of the things they currently like. The session will be high energy and full of fun, which will enable me to capture beautiful, natural joy.
I LOVE TO TRAVEL!...
I currently live in Aurora, Colorado. Most of my sessions take place in the Denver metro area. But please do reach out to me if you are interested in booking, even if you don't live in the Denver metro area. I love to visit new places, so I am willing to travel!
FUN FACT....
I am from England. I moved to the USA around 8 years ago. I have lived in Centennial, Colorado for 3 years. I miss England, but Aurora feels like home as well now. I feel lucky to live somewhere as beautiful as Colorado!

I just have to say that Leanne is the BEST photographer I've ever used with my kids. Not only was she SO good with them and made them feel 100% comfortable, she also calmed me and my husband down and took complete control of the kiddos with the warmest and sweetest demeanor! I will never use another photographer again! AND HER PHOTOS ARE GORGEOUS! She's a 10/10!

Leanne did our newborn/family lifestyle shoot recently and I could not recommend her more. Not only is she super easy to work with, professional, and likeable, but she is also very talented and takes stunning photos. She made us feel comfortable upon introduction, and kept us comfortable the entire session and didn't leave till we felt we had all the shots we wanted. On top of all that, she is very fairly priced. Definitely book her for your next shoot!

We recently used Leanne for our maternity and newborn photo shoots. We cannot recommend her enough! Leanne made us both feel so comfortable in front of the camera, resulting in some of our favorite family photographs we’ve ever had taken. We loved them so much we ended up upgrading our package so we could keep them all! She was also so kind and caring during our newborn shoot, taking extra precautions to keep our one week old safe and being so patient with us when our daughter was fussy. We are so thankful for these beautiful memories that we will now have forever!
