Anouk turned 2

A record of the day Anouk turned two. She was straight out of bed & first on her agenda was cooking up a storm in the play kitchen Sometimes I can’t believe the amount of play these two fit in between waking up & eating breakfast… It was a normal day, with no particular plans,...

Cathie’s family | preview

Just a peek at this session. Cathie is a school teacher and the mother of four, now adult children. The instigation behind this session was that recently she had to take a photo of her family in to show her class & the children told her the photo wasn’t a legit ‘family photo’ because she wasn’t actually in it herself. Fuelled by...

Coogee

      Last weekend we were out hunting for locations for a couple of up coming shoots and letting the kids play along the way. They were having such a good time. The moon was in the sky & they didn’t want to stop playing. I love the pace of weekends. The feeling that...

Anouk will turn two this week. I’m planning a small party for later this month to celebrate. The tradition I have had until now is to ask Ava what sort of party she would like & then we have a little celebration that represents what ever her favourite thing is at that age. When Ava...

wishing well

I took these pictures of Ava this afternoon. She has grown up a lot recently, but I can still see glimpses of  ‘littleness’  (and I love that). Most parents have moments of wishing their little ones would just stay small, but really we know that our children’s lives are not ultimately about our wishes, but their own wishes. I hope...

value the ordinary

Things have been a little busy here lately. We have been working on some projects for our growing little business and really enjoying it. But the busier I get the more I appreciate slowing down. The more I appreciate the simple rituals of the day to day. As this year travels along & time just seems to be...
