Hiding behind the curtains during this morning’s shoot.

The sweetest moment for any parent. A completely napped out baby.

First flight being captured from all angles.

I haven’t actually ventured into Sydney for months, so I spent yesterday walking through the city and visiting the Art Gallery. It’s spooky how desolate some parts of the CBD looked and how many shops and cafes were closed.

Having three children under the age of five definitely requires some serious logistics to even get out of the door at a prearranged time. Not only does this incredible mum appear exactly on time, but is calm and smiling, with three beautifully dressed children in tow. Kudos to you Amanda, you have nailed this motherhood gig.

Who has got time to sit around reading when you are just about to turn one? Things to do. Places to be.

That wonderful feeling when you wake up and realise that your whole day is just going to involve taking naps and having people look after you. Does life get any better?

I love having a wealth of historical family photos to delve into and am always so grateful that images have been taken, preserved, and handed down through the family.

I knew my grandmother Kate as the artist in the last photo. On sleepovers we would have tea and marmalade toast in bed, then she would take me into her studio and let me paint beside her. Such a wonderful gift to see the images of her as a toddler, a teenager, then as a wife and mother.

For a little boy keen on exploring his world at a fast pace, Walter would also stop perfectly still and stare directly through my lens. Well, hello there.

I’ve been photographing Freya for nearly 3 years now and it’s been a delight to watch her grow and become less shy in front of my camera.

Being 4 is a time of big responsibilities. Lying in the sunshine. Digging in the dirt. Dreaming.

Lovely to see you back for the teepee mini-sessions this year young man.

Life goals. Finding somewhere quiet to hide away with a book.
