Today You Turn One 🍓🍰

It’s been a year
Of watching you grow
Loving who you are now
Loving you of tomorrow

It’s been a year
Making friends with the moon
But I’d relive each night
Because I got to hold you

It’s been a year
Watching crawling become walking
Uncertainty become confidence
And soon you’ll be talking

It’s been a year
Of us together
A newborn no longer
But my baby forever

It’s been a year
Of you on my chest
You’ll never remember it
But it’s been one of my best

It’s been a year
Of first teeth and first smiles
Can we slow down a little?
Can we just stay a while?

It’s been a year
And what a time
And though it was yours It will always be mine

It’s been a year
Our first trip round the sun
Happy birthday to you,
Today you turn one.

Words by -

& - Thank you for being my number one fans from day dot! From maternity to newborn, right through to their precious little girls first birthday, these guys have always come back to me. I’ll be forever grateful to you both.

Also, thank you again for spoiling our little Mia this afternoon as well. We appreciate you! 🤍🥹

Yesterday afternoon I met Ashleigh & her little family and man did those two boys remind me of my own 🥹

If I’ve learnt one thing in my time of being a photographer it’s to always leave a moment for just the parents 🔥

Your family is the best team, you could ever have…

Saturday afternoon golden hour session with Danielle & her boys. I had so much fun with these guys 🥹🤍

Yesterday, I met Cheyenne & her little family of three, soon to be four. What a beautiful afternoon it was.. ♥️

MAMA MUSE 🔥💯

Rose rocked it this afternoon! Couldn’t be happier with this session, despite the afternoon sun not making an appearance! 🥹

I SAW A YOUNG MOTHER
WITH EYES FULL OF LAUGHTER AND TWO LITTLE SHADOWS
CAME FOLLOWING AFTER
WHEREVER SHE MOVED.
THEY WERE ALWAYS RIGHT THERE
HOLDING ONTO HER SKIRTS.
HANGING ONTO HER CHAIR.
BEFORE HER, BEHIND HER-
AN ADHESIVE PAIR.
“DON’T YOU EVER GET WEARY
AS, DAY AFTER DAY,
YOUR TWO LITTLE TAGALONGS
GET IN YOUR WAY?
SHE SMILED AS SHE SHOOK HER PRETTY YOUNG HEAD.
AND I’LL ALWAYS REMEMBER THE WORDS THAT SHE SAID.
IT’S GOOD TO HAVE SHADOWS THAT RUN WHEN YOU RUN.
THAT LAUGH WHEN YOU’RE HAPPY
AND HUM WHEN YOU HUM-FOR YOU ONLY HAVE SHADOWS
WHEN YOUR LIFE’S FILLED WITH SUN. ☀️

We can’t wait to meet you 🥹

You’re their person. When they’re scared in the middle of the night. When they’re not feeling well. When they’re consumed by big emotions. When they’re anxious or confused or uncertain. When they’re simply needing to hear your voice or feel your touch. So I know it’s overwhelming and exhausting and all-consuming. But just remember: you’re their person. And what a beautiful privilege that is…

I love when my clients return to me, the last time I saw baby Tate, he was just a newborn! Crazy how fast they grow in such a short amount of time! Little Hugh is still the crazy little character I met the first time, such a beautiful little soul! Jaye & Alec, you’re definitely blessed with two perfect little boys 🥹🤍

So tiny, so small, so loved by all…

I was in the middle of finishing up my clients gallery & couldn’t help but share these! I just love tiny baby details, don’t you? 🥹

Together is a beautiful place to be…

Last but, not least for my Dalby sessions, the Sutton family 🤍

Sometimes, miracles come in pairs…

Meet Grace & Audrey 🥹

I’ve known .upton since she was in primary school, to say I’m proud, would be the understatement of the year. Welcome to parenthood, it’s a wild ride! 🤍🤍

Always love a moment for mum & dad to end the session 🥰

Whenever you feel discouraged, just remember, you are the centre of the universe to a tiny human you made from scratch, you’re kind of a big deal…

Another Dalby sneak peak for my old friend, Angel & her gorgeous blue eyed baby 🤍

Family - Loves sweet, embrace…

Saturday session with Kym & her sweet little family in my hometown, Dalby with a quick location change due to rainy weather ♥️

English Meaning: Family is forever 🤍

On Friday afternoon I was asked to capture the last precious moments, Lipe & her family would get with their Nan, it was beautiful to see the love they hold for her, so dearly. I got to witness such a special time with these guys & I’m forever grateful that Lipe chose me to capture them 🤍
