My name is Vicky Leon and I am a Melbourne based child photographer. When Jessie contacted me to join the ACOCP I felt truly honored.
In 1968, my sister was still born; 12 months before I arrived. At the time no-one offered my mum the opportunity to photograph my sister and even though she will remain part of my parents’ memory forever, I wish there were photos of her to give us all the opportunity to meet and remember her.
In 2004, my son Nicholas was born prematurely and the photos I have of him during his 8 weeks in Special Care are to date, the most important photos I have of him. They also provide us with memories of a time, which without the photos would have been a total blur.
I believe photographs during these challenging times are extremely important and I feel honored to be given the opportunity to provide families with such memories.
