The Plowman-Whyatt Family

On Saturday, I headed back over to the Japanese Gardens to meet Rebekah, Russ and Connor to take their first ever family photos. It was so easy taking their photos, I love it when I am at a shoot and we can just chat like old friends, it makes the whole shoot so easy, and more relaxed, and then-I get photos like these! Connor took a while to warm to getting his photos taken, but as soon as his Daddy got out a ball, that was it-we got smiles and giggles galore! And aren't they just the sweetest smiles ever?! Thankyou so much for asking me to take your first family portraits, I had so much fun and I hope that these photos are just what you hoped for plus much much more! I know I am extremely happy with them, and have definitely got some of my best ever shots :)
I have way too many favourites, so here is a very big share of the ones I have edited so far!

The Olive Family

On Saturday I had the pleasure of taking photos for this beautiful little family, as well as with the youngest girl Briella with her godparents. They really were the sweetest girls, and although they made me work hard for the smiles, I did get some in the end. Lillyan is the oldest sister, and had some great poses ready for me! Here are a few of the very many great shots I got :)
Check out how cute Briella's little shoes are!

Leerentveld Family

On the weekend I photographed this beautiful little family at Queens Park. It was the best weather, and we had heaps of fun with the kids, having tea parties, swinging them around and just giggling heaps. I don't think I have ever left a session with that big a grin on my face :)
Grace is the littlest one, and she is just so placid and happy! I don't think I heard her get sad at all! Then there was Logan who was 2, and just the cutest little boy, I have never seen a 2 year old so happy to have his photos taken. Then there was Brooke,3 and wow she has one awesome personality! She pulled me faces, stuck her tongue out, and gave me some of the biggest, brightest smiles I have gotten. Thankyou so much for letting me be apart of your family to take your photos, it really was such a joy to do, and I hope you love your photos as much as I do :)
