After days and days and days of rain and gloomy weather the sun graced us with her warm smile, just in time for a beach expedition! I first met up with this family about a year ago,so it was great to see some familiar faces again! Along with the sun came a ray of sunshine in the form of this mischievious sweetheart who, along with boundless enthusiasm and energy really did smile from start to stop – a photographers dream! No forced moments or contrived smiles, this was 100% natural, just the way it should be!

Justin and Cathy were married at Granny Mouse on a cold and wet Saturday afternoon. The ceremony was beautiful, with a small and intimate gathering to witness the special occasion. As always, every wedding has a personality all of its own and this was no exception. Cosy giggles between happy newlyweds and a mischievous bridal party that kept us all laughing through the creative shoot were just some of the moments I took away from this day. May the photos speak for themselves….

I had great fun with this shoot. These kids were so obliging and great to work with, real naturals! Awesome to do so many sibling shots!

sweet chance

21Oct09

I have a thing about walls, so when I found this one I was sublimely happy. Simple things :) Luckily, as chance would have it, I had kids in tow AND my camera. Cole loves kissing his sisters head, its so sweet.

party fever

12Oct09

Kids parties are great for capturing a range of expressions, and the opportunity for candid shots is limitless. This gorgeous little girl has just turned a year, and what fun she had.

siblings

07Oct09

Its getting harder and harder to capture those sibling shots (I think my kids are becoming allergic to the camera, they see it and start pulling these really weird faces) Here they were playing on the bed, was able to grab my camera very quickly and got this shot. Lucky shot :)

The spring rains stayed away just long enough for me to do this delightful family photo shoot. We were at the Botanical Gardens  (characterised, of course, by the avenue of trees that everyone loves!) and it really was a super day to be out. Oh, and we got some good pics too :)
