Lovers. On the weekend.
Sometimes I struggle with the depth of my emotions.
The weight of my thoughts never leading to darkness more so the preciousness of now.
The impermanence of this moment and not wanting it to change or conversely wishing away.
Getting stuck in the joy of days passed.
And then it’s the lightness, like a frolic in a sun filled field, watching spring seeds picked up by the breeze. Their glorious smile and that twinkling eye that can only mean fun.

How could I not want to freeze every moment. My breath catches as another year fades.
This life of motherhood.
The ache, the growth, the most profound love.

Musing from another birthday.

“A generation of kids growing up without books isn’t just a generation that reads less - it’s a generation slowly losing the muscle for empathy. Because books aren’t just stories. They’re training grounds for imagination, for slipping into someone else’s life, someone else’s grief, joy, fear or mess. They teach you to sit with feelings at aren’t yours. Without that how do you learn to care about people who aren’t like you? How you build a world where you pause before judging, listening before reacting, understanding before dismissing?”

My dad has started saying more frequently “well love one thing’s for sure. We’re not getting out of this alive.”
And everytime he does it’s like a little punch in the heart. “Yep I know Dad.”

So here’s to the most wonderful mothers that choose to show up for their families time and time again in front of my camera.
I’ve had a few families lately that I have photographed since their first pregnancy or baby and now they have a family of five!!!

I’ve said it before but it seems so much more poignant when I’ve seen your children grow, when I’ve witnessed the mother you have grown into. Thank you. Thank you for the privilege of documenting your history.

Beautiful mum on her third shoot with her three beautiful boys.

Document your existence.

And I don’t mean in a narcissistic, pseudo version of self that so many feel the need to display.
I mean in a documentary, this is my mark in history and others history kind of way.

Everyday finding my way to my most authentic self. Excuse the ramble.

Peace beautiful people.
Careers can be built and rebuilt
Money is made, spent and made again
Possessions perish and are replaced
But I will never have this time again

Shout out to all those mums who were gifted a ‘sleep in’ and are up at 7!

“Don’t climb that, you’ll fall”
Why not?
“How will you get up there?”

“Slow down, you might fall over”
Why not?
“Let’s race!”

“Don’t touch that.”
“Stay still”
“ Be careful”

OR

“I’m watching you and I’m here if you need a hand.”
Meeting Beau.
What a privilege to do so.
