My mother’s day has been lovely. I woke up to a little boy giving me a beautiful laminated drawing he’d done for me, with all the reasons he loves me written on it. The other little boy gave me something similar, with a picture of me on it too! Sob!! I. am. so. blessed.

To all the mums out there that are having their first mother’s day, their umpteenth day, spending today pregnant waiting to hold their baby in their arms, to the mums that are missing their mum…or baby, to those that are hoping to conceive this year, or the mothers that are just going about the day as if it was normal…taking care of it all as usual. A huge hug and thanks for letting me be part of your lives. Happy Mother’s Day )

Our attempts at self-portraits! Very blurry!

We’re so excited For those outside Adelaide, or even Australia, we’re in the middle of a drought pretty much nation-wide, and have been in dire straits for some time now. But…last weekend saw rain, lots and lots and lots of it, and I even got to shoot in it!! I’ll post some of those in another post, but this one is to herald the end of the summer style of shoots. My last beach sitting with good weather was two weeks ago now and even then it was cloudy and a bit cool. We coped though, and little India and Jett didn’t seem to notice after a bit of running around.

So, bring on winter, with the dark skies, wild storms and loads more rain to replenish the land. Just let me have a few dry days to take families outside! It’s business as usual through winter, it’s rare it’s ever tooooo dark, but it’s nice to be able to utilise the beautiful winter light and dramatic skies we get. I look forward to it every year )
