Miss Amelia

It has officially been a long time since I blogged. My apologies. I hope this beautiful family make up for the distance. They are all beautiful inside and out. It has been a delight to photograph them from marriage to burgeoning family. All so in love with each other it is quite infectious.

Michael and Sarah - Married

What is there to say with such a gorgeous couple?  It was a wonderful day and after weeks of rain the sun did shine for these two.

Sarah had gorgeous flowers from Bloom, Mike's mum made the most amazing cake and most importantly they both made a wonderful promise to each other.

I was privileged to share this special day with such special people. Enjoy the photos that you have all been waiting so patiently for!

Michael + Sarah [Engaged]

Yesterday I spent an afternoon with Michael and Sarah. We ventured all over the city to spots that we all thought would be fun, especially since Michael is an avid photographer himself. I couldn't think of a better way to spend a Saturday afternoon than with this lovely couple as we explored our great city.


I must admit there were times when I was mesmerised by Sarah's eyes, they caught the light so beautifully. 


Can't wait to photo their big day in January!

Happiness

I asked my Facebook followers on Friday if I could take a photo for them this weekend what would they like to see. Some of the responses I could not fulfil unfortunately.


However, Blythe said "happiness" and it got me thinking. My weekends are normally spent running around and the question of what happiness is, was at first quite hard. My mind wandered to travel, sleep, a coffee, relaxation amongst others. All of this was gone as I wanted to see people that I hadn't for a while.


My first destination was dinner on Friday night and I won't share the photo for fear of retribution ;) but I must say that the happiness that the parents show looking at their new baby is quite wonderful.


My second visit was to my best friends house where happiness became abundantly obvious in the form of three little girls.

Relationships and sharing our lives I think make us happy. Given, they can also bring other emotions but it was clear from my friends little girl that the simplicity of dressing up and playing with friends was bringing her happiness.


Seeing the world through young and old peoples eyes is quite simple really, it brings us back to basics. I went to visit my Grandfather today and wondered what makes him happy. He likes structure, organisation and to know that everyone in his family is happy. He keeps a calendar and can probably tell us all what we are, were or want to do at any given time when we forget in the business of life. The calendar is good for him as he has something to look forward to and is generally always happy to see us.

Last destination was lunch at my fathers house and shadow the little jack russell always appreciates a pat and hug, that is happiness for him :) he repays me in kisses..very cute.

I do hope you feel the happiness I felt as I spent my weekend with close friends and family.

Double the Love

I worked with Mike for just over 4 years and was filled with joy when he and Maryanne announced they were expecting twins. Alex and Adelaide were born 28.3.2011 to very excited and loving parents. This past weekend was a chance to get some family shots, these little ones are adorable. The Packett family I am sure are complete with their "pigeon pair".

Baby Shower

Rachel has some serious style and with the help of a very talented sister who arranged some wonderful flowers! The house and garden looked liked something out of Vogue living on this gorgeous Sunday afternoon as a great group of girls descended upon the house. Lots of sweets and chatter as we celebrated the impending arrival of "baby Taylor"..
