Celebrating My Mothers Group



The 5 on a log are the original kids from my Mothers Group, with whom I'm proud to say I still catch up on a regular basis. When I was pregnant for the first time, I used to say that I wasn't a Mother's Group sort of person. Ha, that was before I realised that for about a year or so all I would be able to talk about was pureed food, choking and poop, and that the only people who would want to discuss such things were other mothers navigating motherhood for the first time. Well, our babies are now in prep and talk currently centres on their progress in reading, friendships and footy skills, as well as our subsequent children, careers, study, husbands, movies; the list goes on. Thankfully we are no longer so tired and one dimensional (well, actually I am,  but that's bc I'm the only one silly enough to have had a third child).

Anyway the Sunday before last we spent a wonderful day at the Box Hill Miniature railway, and after resorting to toilet talk (and the removal of enthusiastic siblings) we finally got them all looking and laughing in (sort of) one direction.

And speaking of siblings, I couldn't help but include a couple of images of one of the 'little brothers'. Little Bennie has the most beautiful eyes, which I have been trying to capture. I am still working on some colour images of him, my colour work being a bit more of a struggle, and will post them when I'm happy with them.

Here is a preview of the images from Coco and her family. Her mum Lucy and big sister Pippa provided the images for the opening blog entry a few weeks ago, when Lucy was heavily pregnant. I have to say, now I have edited the sitting, it turns out it's all about Pippa. Poor Coco, it's tough being the little sister... PS. I actually haven't finished editing the photo on the bed with Pippa in the foreground...but I just had to put it up, I really love it.

OK, Obviously the images are not up. Technologically speaking, I am not having a great day. I will try to upload these images again in the am!

Completing the Trilogy


Just so it is not always the girls getting all the attention, here is a photo of Archer. Only his second proper photo shoot which lasted approximately 3 minutes. I really must find more time for this before he loses all that delicious baby squidginess..

Congratulations to my dear friend Edwina and her lovely husband Steve on the birth of their third child Sascha. It was a privilege to photograph her at 6 days old. Only a true friend would allow you to put their newborn on the front doorstep in a Melbourne winter bc you thought it might make for a photograph...
