For the last year, I’ve been inspired by a delightful older couple that swim laps in the gym pool most mornings. Always ready with a smile and positive outlook on the day. I was so pleased to be invited to photograph their extended family as they all came together to celebrate Raffi + Jenny’s 60 year wedding anniversary. Such an accomplishment in life to have a partnership for that long and to create such a gorgeous family.
A good friend of mine used to work with the NSW Mounted Police and shared some of my ANZAC Day photos with them. Just had a lovely ex-police officer phone and have a chat about one of the horses in the photos. I hadn’t realised they were up on their Facebook page. I love the connections that photography can make.
Luciano and Amelia are celebrating their 60 year wedding anniversary and it was gorgeous to see how proud they were to have all their family surrounding them. That’s what it’s all about. Love and family.
Waiting in eager anticipation for some treats to be handed out. Such focus!
A whole lot of splashing around in the tub, but he was definitely clean after his Cake Smash today.
I’ve yet to meet a girl that doesn’t love a day of flowers and bubbles.
Some people come into your life at just the right time. I first met Fiona down at Manly Beach when I had just returned from living in NY and I was getting ready to launch my business. She has such big, beautiful motherlove for those gorgeous children of hers. The way she interacts with them is lovely to watch. I’ve been so lucky to capture her son grow over the last 3 years and to welcome her new daughter into their family. They are now moving up the coast and I wish them much love and happiness X
I love finding new places to shoot and enjoyed exploring this gorgeous spot in Balgowlah on the weekend. Winter family sessions are great because we had the beach to ourselves. A very different situation in summer.
A gorgeous shoot this afternoon for a young family with a strong Scottish heritage … just had to include some gum leaves to incorporate the Aussie part of the children’s upbringing.
As my days are filled with photographing other families, I thought I’d slip into my own family archives and share this most loved photo of my own family. 13 years ago and a whole lot of changes! Our eldest is now studying for their HSC and the youngest towers over me at 6ft1. Love these guys.
