Popcorn

Popcorn is a favourite in our house - great afternoon snack... just put a few plain kernels in a brown lunch bag and 'pop' in the microwave. Instant and healthy treat!

Poor little sick bubba

With only days before her first birthday - its a terrible time to get sick....hopefully we should be all better by the weekend for the party! But till then, lots of extra snuggles and kisses.

Rain rain, go away - come again another day...

With what felt like a years worth of rain, cabin fever had reached an all time high in our house. Keeping a 2.5 year old in doors for more than a day is not a fun experience. So when the requests to play outside became almost desperate we seized the chance when there was a break in the rain.  

The sandpit had become a pool which Cohen thought only fitting for his shark to take full advantage of. Dragging him through the water softly saying to himself..."der-nert, der-nert, der-nert". 

This week has brought with it some sunshine and the grass has benefited from all this rain, growing luscious and green. Ready for lots of outside playtime!

These Two

As they grow together i'm sure i am going to be breaking up some great tantrums...wanting what the other has or for the other to go away, but for now i get to watch as they are become friends. Willa watching his every move; learning, mimicking. Cohen wanting her to grow faster and chase him around, catch the ball and run in the backyard. The first year has definitely had its challenges, but when i capture little moments like this it somehow makes it all worth while.

These two are my everything, each holding my whole heart....the best 'things' i've ever made!

Giggles Galore

Afternoon giggles are the best fun. Fresh from a nap and ready to play!

It makes all the tears and tantrums worth it (well pretty much...at least till the next one, Haha). Who really could stay mad at all that cheeky smile.

Oh Gorgeous Girl

This gorgeous girl needed a post all to herself - there is way too much cuteness going on here to contain it in one post!

Excited about becoming a big sister, i was treated to smiles galore. Those eyes just melt you...

I have a feeling she is going to be a great big sister, already explaining to me how she was going to help her mummy with the baby : )
Such a joy to capture so much delight!

Beach Ballerina

The beautiful Miss Si, showing off her ballet skills on the sand. So much fun to see her twirl and whirl around in the warm afternoon sun. Such happiness, such a girl...such a little princess!

A big thank you to her dad for keeping watch on the troublesome two while i ran around after Sienna camera in tow.

Yoga Mumma

My beautiful friend and her gorgeous daughter invited me over capture this 'Yoga Mummas' bump before little Lucas arrived.

With one of the cutest bellies, and an even cuter toddler smile, these two (or should i say three) were a dream to shoot.

Thank you Lina for letting me capture such pure BLISS, hehe : )
