A surprise 40th AND Vow Renewal {Brisbane Event Photographer}

The world needs more good stories about wonderful husbands such as the one below. Nick, knowing his wife had her birthday coming up organised both a surprise birthday party PLUS a surprise Vow Renewal Ceremony. What made it all the more special is that Nick found their original Wedding Celebrant to partake in the vow renewal - even spending 3 months searching for him! While some things change over time some things stay the same - specifically the Celebrant miss pronouncing Nicky's name the same way he did on their wedding day :) At least Nicky had the confidence to speak up this time and correct him! It was a lovely afternoon surrounded with close family and friends on the couples acreage property.  As always it was a privilege to be involved on the day.

How to make a baby smile....... {Brisbane Family Photographer}

Couldn't resist sharing this discovery I made while editing a session this week.

I had zoomed right into the image and was ticked pink to see her Mum staring right back at me. So cool to see why little Miss M was smiling so widely :) Yay for Mums!

Pine needle pranks.... {Brisbane Family Photographer}

I had a lovely afternoon recently with this family who had been a long time between family photos. I guess we always seem to put off those little things and just add them to the 'one day' pile, one day, when I loose weight or one day, when they kids can sit still longer....sound familiar? It's a shame really as our families change month by month, both in looks and personalities. No one has ever looked back on photos and thought, gee I wish I didn't capture that moment in time..... Hey you might question your fashion choices at the time but such is life! ;)

This family was great fun and loads of giggles and laughs. One of the reason being that they kept sneaking pine needle pricks into each other during the shoot.....

Note the hand on the left Sisters shoulder.....and the resulting facial expression on the right! I love watching the dynamics between siblings :)

 This one below is a personal favourite of mine......

 One too many pine needle pricks on Dad I think!

Thank you so much Lola, I hope you love your images as much as I do!
