Olivia & Michael | pregnancy

Olivia & I met in 1998 when we were both first year dance students at college. I was delighted when Olivia & Michael told us they were expecting their first baby & more so when they asked if we could organise a maternity photo session. Knowing a little bit about them, I knew right away that I wanted their photo session to be a story session telling a little about their love for fine food from their local community. We met up a few months before their session & they introduced us to the places they go to for fine chocolate, coffee, cheeses & local fruit & veg. During the actual session we followed them to those places & then had some fun taking portraits… including a few with their Vespa. Every season of life is so fleeting & precious. It is so important to stop & savour what you have right now. I loved seeing how happy these two are & how much Olivia has cherished being pregnant, not to mention how flat out gorgeous she looked. She is already feeling that she will miss the feeling of the baby being in her belly when it is born. I will let the pictures say the rest about this beautiful couple. Wish them all the best… their baby is due tomorrow!! Thank you so much to Colefax chocolates & Franks Fruit market in Haberfield for allowing Olivia & Mike & their paparazzi of two to stop by. Apparently Frank has picked out a place in his shop for his portrait with Olivia…
