I want photos that show how we’re such a little gang! How happy we are in this phase of our life, while there are still just three of us (and Fenton). It was a challenging first year, but I want to celebrate that we survived it together, as a team.
This newborn phase is so short, as we learned the first time. I want to capture those tiny moments forever, so I can always revisit the tininess and helplessness.
We have been married for 10 years now, and it has been a challenge having two little ones so close together. I wanted to celebrate our relationship through these photographs. Also I wanted to have beautiful photos that help my children look back to their childhood and remember it with joy.
A family photoshoot means capturing our entire world. We know how much of a miracle these boys are, and any future children we may be lucky enough to have!
James is losing his vision, he is legally blind and sees very little of the world around him. Photos give him time to look at each part and piece it all together. A photoshoot to me would mean he could see us clearly, Toby's kindness, Alice's sass and my love for him, and commit it to memory while he still can.
I have a beautiful little family and I’ve always enjoyed capturing every little moment. I love photos, I keep them in frames on the walls to show everyone, and print them for albums. However… I’m never in them. If I can even have one photo of me and my family to capture the true love we have for each other, I would be the luckiest, most blessed mum in the world.
Our life is crazy and messy thanks to baby + puppy, but we have so much fun and wouldn't change anything (maybe just a little more sleep). We'd love to have a record of this time because the days go so fast, and the last few months are already a blur. It's the little everyday moments that I want to remember in 10 years, the smiles, the snuggles, the moments playing together....
My family of two right now is just perfect. I can’t help but feel privileged that I get my bubs to myself. As much as I can, I document his life via my phone in the hope that one day he will look back and see how much we did together. Not only the physical photo, but also the emotional, spiritual and mental elements of our story of growth being captured would be a dream come true.
