Well..Guitar Hero anyway. These two were just SO much fun. I couldnt believe their matching outfits when they showed up.

We met in downtown Melbourne and slowly made our way through the streets for a fun afternoon of cafe’s, graffitti alleyways, stage shows and loads of giggles. (Did I mention giggles?).

Halfway through the session (and believe me, we were just randomly walking), Rita announced that she use to be an architect and loves lines. Which was strangly lucky because that is what we found! E.V.E.R.Y.W.H.E.R.E. As soon as I found out that tidbit, we quickly headed down to the black and white wall which I photographed infront of last time I was in Melbourne.

I have to say that one thing that I love about my job is that no two sessions are the same. Everyone has their own personality and its just so fun!

Rita, thank you for a fabulous afternoon.

I met Valeska and her family down at St Kilda and near about jumped in amazement when I saw the little cafe sitting on the end of the pier. I know – probably old news to all you Melbourner’s.

Valeska is another photogapher and I just love how her clothing matched her logo! Now that is gorgeous! =) And I have to say this family + that peir = sweet as apple pie!

Look at me go! Im blog happy!

Well, I seriously have never done this before – however we have been fabulously amazed (and grateful) for the amount of emails asking where we got the wonderful kite from in the above pics (from this session).

So many infact that Ive decided to blog and own up to our secret source! Its very very secret – and I must ask that you not tell a soul because it came from the most fabulous of creative people.

Infact.. Talia made it. My daughter.

Ok not singled handedly – she had my help, and Penny’s and a little of Simon’s too when it came to cutting it out. (There was probably even a little of Ede dribble in there too!).

You see, we were in a hotel room for so long that we decided one day to add to our afternoon walks by flying a kite as we go. We searched high and low for the “perfect” kite. And we simply couldnt find one. So, we decided to get two peices of wood, some material, string, needle and thread, and well..make a kite ourselves.

Then when Kristen contacted us to say she was bringing along paper hearts to her family session, we decided to cut out a heart shape in the blue also and bring them both along too. One for each child. The kite needed a little help flying, but it was still fun.

There you have it.

Another day, another gorgeous family.

I photographed, Inga and her family down at a Melbourne beach and it was possibly the windiest day .. E.V.E.R. We blew away and just went with it. Somehow we pulled through and thankfully got some very sweet family shots out of it all.

Inga, twas lovely to photograph you and see you once again.
