The music is turned up, and we have an impromptu dance party at the end of our session this morning

Grandma providing a circle of love around these two little brothers.

Getting the whole gang together with family visiting from England.

A favourite time for photo shoots with young families. The light is gorgeous and sunset sessions start at a child friendly time of around 4pm.

My photography style is all about a white/neutral/pastels vibe, so I love it when Renee booked in for her Mother’s Day mini-session and boldly declared “you know we are going to turn up in leopard print “. So as the 3 generations of beautiful Offner women arrived on my doorstep today, I knew I would have to Google what a group of leopards were called. It’s a leap .

“Just one nice photo of my children together”. That is usually the request of all mothers that I see. However, mothers of boys can unfortunately relate to the reality.

Making the most of an afternoon in the sunshine before their little family of three welcomes another member soon.

A quiet moment this afternoon captured between the beautiful chaos that is an extended family shoot. Anita + Pete have been married for 53 years and their family is making the most of having them visiting from England and getting everyone together for photos.

Stealing the limelight as she crawled around checking out the set for the Mother’s Day mini-sessions.

My Mother’s Day mini-sessions kicked off today and I was delighted to welcome back so many families I have been photographing over the years. And after 8 years, these two have a pretty special spot in my heart .
