The weather was gorgeous - albeit a little hot - but sadly the mozzies loved it too! We swatting here, there and everywhere! However I had such a great time photographing Chamindi - she is simply stunning and so sweet! We ventured through long grass in search of trees, climbed up little hills, strolled and swirled along dirt tracks and even visited the local brownies hall!

Thank you for being such a trooper Chamindi and I hope that the bites don’t itch for too long and that you enjoy your sneak peek. Will be in touch when your gallery is ready!

When mum pulled out her tutu I was so excited - as was little Scout! So beautiful! Daddy just had to look at Giselle and she was smiling and giggling! Such a gorgeous little family! Thanks guys and I hope you enjoy your sneak peek! Talk soon.

This morning was spent hanging out with and photographing 3 spunky cowboys and their mum! How gorgeous are these boys with their matching hats and cowboy accessories! We had to move our session to the morning as rain was forcast but looking out the window now this afternoon would of been fine - but this morning was great! Such lovely light and after overcoming a few obstacles such as a crossing being over we found some awesome locations! It did heat up towards the end so thank you boys for pushing through! I hope you enjoy your sneak peek!
