Evarna + Dylan

Evarna + Dylan

November 18, 2019Family, Maternity, Beach0

What can I say about this beach maternity session, except it was pretty much a dream! Evarna and Dylan are the kind of people that are so easy to be around. They are so chilled out and easy-going, it just made the whole session a breeze. Also, how stunning is this mama?! If it could be guaranteed that I’d look this good while pregnant, I’d mayyybe consider another, haha.
We had perfect weather, and while it looks pretty warm, the water was still a bit chilly at this point. But Evarna had zero f’s to give – she still jumped in those icy waves! What a bloody trooper. I’m a wimp when it comes to cold water at the beach, and my husband makes fun of me for the fact it has to be just the right temp for me to get my butt in there.

Can’t wait to meet their little bub in a few months!

If this maternity beach session looks like your jam, send me a message so we can book in a date to document that beautiful bump!

If I could only shoot at this location for the res If I could only shoot at this location for the rest of time, I wouldn’t be mad about it 🌿

This is one of my favourite family sessions from last year, with the lovely @carly_skinner_photography and her sweet fam. 
And yes, I have been sitting on this goldmine of super cute pics for nearly a year now, because it’s really hard to choose your favourites from over 300 photos 😅

When it comes to family sessions, I think it’s b When it comes to family sessions, I think it’s best to let the kids do their thing; to let the session be guided by them. This session was no different in that aspect. However, it was a new experience for me in that the sweet boy you see in the first image, Jacob, is autistic and non-verbal. 

We had plans to shoot in a different location than the one in these photos, however once we started, Jacob wasn’t keen on moving. And you know what? It didn’t matter.
He also wanted to carry a stimmy toy and a can of Pringles around the entire session, to help him feel more comfortable.
Did I care? Not one little bit! 🤷🏼‍♀️ I was happy to do whatever made Jacob and his family more comfortable and at ease. 

What matters to me is capturing your kids exactly how they are, in that moment. It’s these little details that make up their unique character and quirky personalities (which are constantly changing, especially in the early years!).
So if they need to bring along that old, battered teddy that they can’t bare to leave at home, let them bring it! Are they refusing to wear anything but that one dress (that you have to sneak into their room at night to grab so you can secretly wash it), because it’s the only piece of clothing they will wear? Let them wear it! 
They won’t always be carrying that teddy, and one day that dress will no longer fit them, so let these parts of them be documented as part of their story now, before they, and their story changes 🧡

Sure, a pretty location and outfits are nice, but what matters more, is happy kids and therefore, happy parents. The more relaxed the whole family feels, the better your photos will be ✨ 

Thanks Jess @aussieautismfamily for having me capture your beautiful family. It was so much fun hanging out with you guys, and just looking back over these photos (and both Jacob and Jazz’s infectious smiles!) gives me all the feels 🥰

Still working my way through posting from last yea Still working my way through posting from last year’s sessions… tonight I’m trying not to overthink it too much, and choosing to just post the first image that jumps out at me. So here’s one of Laura looking radiant, while growing little bubba Franco 🧡

Part 2 with the Carson fam ✨ Surely you can no Part 2 with the Carson fam ✨ 

Surely you can now see why this *had* to be a ‘squeeze in as many images as I possibly can’ two-part post?! 
Also, it was a struggle deciding which image to choose to be the first one, with some definitely deserving two whole squares, and sooo many favourites of Sunny 🐶😍 How does a gal decide?! 

Which one is your fave? 🥰
