Being their personal nurse, chef, chauffeur, coach, PA… Our intentions are heartfelt but we can inadvertently become a bystander, constantly organising never participating.

Let’s just say, I am grateful my children have never required hospital treatment since birth … and that I know who […]

We had an amazing heat wave this Summer and whilst it was occasionally too hot to get out for photos, it was soooooo worth it when you we did :) Loved this Summer session with the Fongs! There was lots of chasing, jumping waves, negotiating bubbles & sand before we got that ‘perfect’ shot mum […]

My sis-in-law is expecting her 2nd baby. The extended family is a wee bit excited (!!), hence the rather large blog here :) I cannot wait to welcome another beautiful baby cousin to my girls. The 3yo in particular will want to put bubs in doll’s cot and sing her lullabies I’m sure! :) Photographed […]
