OUR FAMILY

OUR FAMILY

I am stronger than I anticipated. I created life in this body of mine, and held the love of my life for the first 9 months of theirs. I was stretched out beyond measures and learnt to function on the littlest amount of sleep I had ever lived on, for months. I held you on my chest after the greatest pain I have ever experienced and smiled as I looked at the gentle rise and fall of your chest on mine. I woke up night after night to tended to your needs at all hours. I counted all your fingers and toes as you drifted to sleep and I thought… Keep Reading

YOUR JOURNEY

YOUR JOURNEY

The beginning of this journey is different for everyone – no story is the same. For some it seems like a right of passage, others a natural progression in their happy relationship. For some people it is a surprise – a serendipity and others an absolute miracle. Regardless of how it all started there is one thing that remains the same; this child, the symbolism of love and the beginning of your family, is a loved, welcomed, blessing. The moment you meet is also different for each person. They will all tell it differently, but the general gist of the moment is all the same. As the new love of… Keep Reading

PERFECT TIMING

PERFECT TIMING

“Very few things happen at the right time and the rest do not happen at all.” – Herodotus It almost seems as if there is never a perfect time to begin a family, no matter how excited you may feel, there will always be concerns that make you wonder if you are really ready, however – anyone who longs to share their love with a child of their own, will soon find that there is nothing in the world that will ever be able to compare or replace that craving, that isn’t the beating heart and dancing feet within you. A reminder – while you may worry it is not… Keep Reading

100 DAYS LATER

100 DAYS LATER

One of the greatest things about being a photographer with repeat clients is getting to see the transformation from a tiny baby into a small human. From being bundled up in wraps and blankets, being cuddled with beanies and booties, to smiling and playing – sitting and laughing; glimpses into their own personality and peeks of traits from both parents. To see, the now much more experienced parents – a bit more well rested and comfortable with their now found roles, still just as proud of their little joy as the first time I met them. To bare witness to the learning family, happy and prideful – celebrating all their… Keep Reading

TO FINALLY MEET

TO FINALLY MEET

“There is nothing more thrilling in this world, I think, than having a child that is yours, and yet is mysteriously a stranger.” – Agatha Christie There is no other experience quite like the bond you create with your child, one that has grown before you have even met. Before they have ever been rested upon your chest, with eyes peeping open for only seconds at a time, and quietly introduce themselves – the moment you have been waiting for, for so long. In this moment the world around you both falls away as the first of the many lessons in life ahead begins. In this moment you learn that… Keep Reading

REFLECT

REFLECT

One of the most exciting things about being a parent is watching your children grow up. Reach milestones. Slowly become more and more of their own person each day. While it is so exciting to watch your child develop their own quirks and personality, it is also one of the scariest parts of being a parent. It happens right before your eyes and quicker than you even realise. It really is as if they take their first step with your arms just hovering by their side and their second step moving into their own home to begin a life of their own. As if one day they are clutching their… Keep Reading

RESOLUTIONS

RESOLUTIONS

Around New Years we tend to make resolutions for things we hope and dream for the future. We do similar things when we are about to become parents, we make wishes or plans for the type of parent we hope to be. Sometimes you remember your own childhood and the memories or events that made it and we use them to mould the type of role model we hope to be for our own children. Still, like New Years resolutions we sometimes find that what we envisioned parenthood to be, is not always how it is. Sometimes you go from mashing your own organic, home cooked pumpkin to pretending you… Keep Reading

THIS JOURNEY

THIS JOURNEY

There is a favourite moment for every parent. A favourite part about being a parent. On this big journey you never could have prepared for enough there are moments that make everything worth while. It could be when you finally manage to get a full night’s sleep and wake up together, smiling and sharing a moment of bliss and happiness. Both well rested and thankful for the other. The moment that you realise you have created this beautiful soul that will be the best friend that life could have blessed you with. You created this life with hard working hands and love in your heart. It could be the moment… Keep Reading

TIME OF THE YEAR

TIME OF THE YEAR

This is a very special time of the year. A time that surrounds the world with cheer, happiness and forgiveness. It is a time for family and friends, for any one you love and is close to you. It is the time of year that memories and traditions are made. It is a special time that is far more exciting to share with the presence of your beautiful children. To share the excitement and to try and hide all the little gifts you will surprise them with. To whisk them off to bed and hope they sleep soundly while you prepare for the next day – eagerly. To be woken… Keep Reading

PERFECT HARMONY

PERFECT HARMONY

“And then my soul saw you and it kind of went “Oh, there you are. I’ve been looking for you.” No one said parenting was going to be easy. Being a parent is a relentless, tiring, giving job with little thanks or acknowledgement. It is a long term commitment and promise of safety, support and unconditional love. It is sleepless nights and constant nurturing; however, all the sacrifices are forgiven with the morning cuddles and excitement over their first steps. It is a love like you have never experienced before, a sense of pride and adoration like no other. it is a perfect harmony. It is everything that is right… Keep Reading
