Mothers Day!

Mothers Day isn't too far off.

I've been doing a lot of thinking about what it means to be a mother. Its such a roller coaster ride of high emotions. Some days are crazy busy with packing lunches and plaiting hair and clicking seat belts and all the other one million little jobs that fill the day of the average mother. Then in amongst all the crazy, there are these moments of quiet wonder and awe at these little people in your life. Then someone needs a drink or can't a toy and time keeps ticking.

Thinking about what it means to be a mother in this day and age makes me wonder what it would have been like to be a mother in another time and place. Mothering probably hasn't changed all that much in the history of human kind.

It amazes me that we have a common bond with women all over the world - no matter what culture, religion, language or race. Motherhood is a ties that binds us - we are all in it together!



NOTE: Please click on the image - for some reason blogger wouldn't let me post it the way it was meant to be viewed

To celebrate all that it means to be a mother I am giving away complimentary sessions to any mother who wants one. You can give it as a gift to yourself of to another mother you know or you may like a session with your own mother!
The only thing is you need to book before 15th of May and your session needs to take place before June 30th.


I am working on a little side project that is in it's infancy but if any mothers would agree to be interviewed as well as have their session that would be fantastic. I would especially love some mother/daughter photos - the more generations of woman from one family the better.

PS - not all mothers are related by blood - so any woman who understands the bittersweet life of a mother is too be celebrated!!

Almost

When our kiddos are babies we get photo after photo of them - not wanting to miss anything, the way they get that cheeky grin, those chubby arms and legs. We photograph them eating, sleeping, we photograph them in bath and in the pool, playing with their toys and the list goes on.... your kiddos grow up and suddenly they aren't little kiddos anymore.

Before you know it you have someone on the verge of adulthood - you might get a snap of them on the graduation day or a few photos of them with their friends but the photos that document them and their personality are rarely taken. You've almost reached you parenting goals and you have no photos to mark this special stage.

A few other photographers and I have been mulling over this and we've begun working on a little project to help parents celebrate their almost grown children. Hopefully in the not too distant future I can link a website with more info and photos but for now I will share some photos of a gorgeous girl I got to spend a few hours with.

Summers End

These were taken at Shelly Beach, Ballina over the Easter weekend. What a gorgeous location - I toyed with the idea of moving there.......of course I'm always toying with the idea of moving....
