I just arrived in Melbourne yesterday to visit with Rachel and family and work on all the exciting things we have coming up over at Beyond Snapshots.
Boy there has been some growing up being done since last time I was here. Babies who were just on the brink of being mobile are now toddlers that can run away from diaper changes (and more significantly, the camera) and Gemma is a school kid, who is blowing me away with her cleverness. Every one of them is still as charming and adorable as before though, maybe even more so.
It is so nice to be back.

One of the most fun things about photographing the 3 year old set is their complete and undying belief in all things magic. Once they get going, it’s easy to get carried away to that place where a simple hole in the garden becomes a wonderland, where all sorts of adventures can take place.
This little one was convinced she saw a fairy in the trees, she then decided the fairy may just need a spot of morning tea, and skipped up to the house to prepare one complete with the finest of her tiny crockery. (As well as a quick change of dress, must wear pink to a fairy picnic, you know). Unfortunately the fairy was “too shy” to come to the party, although she spotted her flying by at one point. However, the fairy did manage to down an entire cup of water while backs were turned.
Baby brother was too little to join in the fun, but I got shots of him doing what he does best, lounging around being the happy, cruisy little guy he is.
A strawberry break…
One of the things I plan on doing with the blog this year is highlighting some really cool stuff. I love smart, beautiful handmade design, and these two treasures fit the bill perfectly. The top on the left was purchased from erg originals and the adorable little dress was from bluebird and honey

Just some favourites from a recent family session… They were troupers, Wellington didn’t hold back it’s infamous wind, but it was a fun afternoon all the same!

the rain has been plentiful in little ol’ wellington these last few months, so when it took a breather I jumped at the chance to break out my camera while exploring our great city with a six-years-in-one-week-old pal of mine. there is never a dull moment with this one in tow, can you tell?!
her little brother joined in on the fun at the end. they are just so sweet with each other, getting them to play along wasn’t much of a stretch.

There’s not much sweeter than a tired, squeaky clean baby! I don’t think you could get much girlier than big sister’s bubblegum pink filled room, a six year old girl’s dream!
Now that the weather is starting to warm up again (finally! brrr) sessions are filling up fast, so for those that are thinking about booking soon, it’s a good time to pin down a spot
