The most darling baby girl and her parents visited me today, sweet little Akuach.

Everyone says it will happen. But when you're in the midst of round the clock feeding, sleepless nights, trying to work out how on earth to keep this tiny being safe, happy and healthy for the rest of it's life (and silently panicking that you can't!) you just don't believe them. 

I had the two most precious twin sisters in front of my camera recently for some special photos, now that they are two years old!

I was so excited when I received an email from this beautiful family to tell me they had welcomed a new addition, their baby girl Rose. 

It was so lovely to catch up with the beautiful B family on the weekend and see how much they have grown.

For months, years even, my beautiful friend has been wanting us to do a family photography session on the beach. Whenever we attempted to plan it something always came up. So while we were on holidays recently at Rainbow Beach, we decided that we would make it happen! 

It was a case of some very familiar faces in front of my camera on the weekend (although the little two have changed and grown since I last saw them), as this is now the 7th time I have photographed the H family :D 

I was so excited to see the incredibly adorable O twins again, after photographing them as newborns 12 months ago. 

For many, 2017 wasn't a great year. It was unkind to a lot of people and handed out it's fair share of challenges. But, it's how you choose to face and overcome those challenges that defines your experience and ultimately your life.

It's been a long time between shoots (and blog posts!) but I'm so happy to be back behind the camera. And what a way to start back from maternity leave with precious little Isabelle and her family. 

Dear Vincent,

I don't even know where to begin. You are now 3 months old and the last 3 months have been a complete whirlwind of emotions. We should have known from your spontaneous arrival, not even full term yet, that we were going to be in for a wild ride with you. Although I don't think anything could have prepared us for the challenges that come with being first time parents.

On Saturday I had the privilege of meeting the glowing parents-to-be, Rebecca and Greg and capture some maternity photos before their little one arrives.

Yesterday I had the pleasure of photographing the fourth child (and third daughter!) for the beautiful B family. Esther is the third baby in a row I have photographed for this family and it was so lovely to see how much the other 'babies' have grown.

It never ceases to amaze me how quickly the years fly by. Somehow it's been nearly 12 months since I first met this family when Steven was just 12 days old. 

After having to postpone our original session, it was so lovely to meet this gorgeous family with their adorable little man on the weekend.
