“What day is it?” “It’s today,” squeaked Piglet. “My favorite day,” said Pooh. ― A.A. Milne Something I adore about photographing children about the age of young Will here, is they are never in a ‘photo shoot’, they are just in a day. They really play, they really eat, they really react, they really run…
Here in Australia, we have just finished the school holidays between term 1 & 2. Being Ava’s first year of school, they were our first school holidays ever. I’m so happy that she loves everything about school, but I was also happy to have her around for two weeks. Towards the end of the term I…
Lisa, you are completely and utterly the mum I want to be. The mum I am from time to time, but no where near enough. Thanks for keeping me inspired to do better. I think you are wonderful. x
Sarah, You want to be the mother who didn’t get her child through the holiday homework or take her kids to the Easter show??…. hehe.
Thank you for your encouragement friend! You are an absolutely wonderful & inspiring mother! I think with this post I wanted to say that often what we don’t think is enough, really is. Doing more is OK too, but when we don’t do those bigger things, doing less is enough. It takes so much less than we realise for it to be enough. We all have those times where we think we are not the mum ‘we want to be’, but maybe what ‘we want to be’ is not the same as what ‘we need to be’… and maybe what we need to be is simpler than what we imagine. x
This is my favorite post of yours Lisa! You have such a talent for capturing the beauty in the “ordinary.” You make a rainy day look like magical adventure! Happy you guys had some great family time together! Your girls are too cute for words!
Filling up the moments in a day leaves less time for spontenaity, less time to explore, create, and imagine. Thank you for the reminder! And a rain walk sounds like a perfectly fun idea:)
Beautiful post Lisa. as always. Your girls are blessed to have you as their mum.
This is one of a few party themes I photographed for party stylist Bobbie from ‘Sweet Celebrations’, in Sydney recently. Bobbie is about to launch her party theme business, which will offer a range of things to buy & hire for themed children’s parties. The ‘sweet celebrations’ website is having the finishing touches added to it…
these are so sweet!
Never mind the kids – I’D have this for my birthday party!:)
I know Marie! A grown up could have a woodland party for sure! x
Emilia is just perfect girl!Beauty in all forms!

Thank you for your comment Irina! I agree Emilia is a really beautiful girl (she takes after Bobbie). Emilia & her friends were just the sweetest three girls, doing anything to help out with the parties and photo’s on the day. x
The moss bunnies are adorable! Loving the mushroom pops, too.
Wow! I finally got my Internet back & could see the photos properly on my computer. They are amazing Lisa, thank you & Peter & the girls so much! I agree – all of the kids were amazing, they were so natural with the camera. I was a bit worried how they’ll take in all that “modeling”, but they were all so great (maybe except Nicholas, hehe).
[...] of her party themes for me to photograph…the ‘woodland party’ which I shared here on my blog and the ‘tea party’ & ‘pirate party’. I am sharing these ones now [...]
A peek from a session we did recently for Vanessa, Phil & their baby girl Olivia. I am always kept inspired by each unique family or person we meet at our sessions. Each one is different from the last and each have their own story they allow us to have a glimpse of. What people have in common…
