I took these pictures of you while you were watching your big sister learn to ride her bike. You picked dandelions and made wish after wish. I captured a few frames of you just as you were. You had dressed yourself and there wasn’t a lot of colour coordination going on, but real life is...
This week, I was at home when Pete sent me a text from the park to say that Ava was getting the hang of riding her bike on her own. I was proud of her, but also a little sad that I was missing the moment. So I grabbed the camera & an empty card...
Anouk turned 4 on May 12th. I can’t believe it’s been 4 years since that day I was in labour during my mum’s birthday lunch at my place & had to rush to hospital before I could even serve my mum her birthday cake. A day I will treasure forever. As a result of a fast...
These are awesome photos, my favourite is Anouk on the ball with that stunning light! Love the biscuits too – a really great non-fussy idea. Happy to have found your site 🙂
Dark and light. Black and white. We live in a world filled with contrast. We experience the warmth only because we know the cold. We recognise peace because we’ve felt the battle. One can’t be, without the other. [All images taken and edited with iphone4 only].
I have learned not to argue with a 3 year old who wants to wear two hats at the same time on the bus. At first I did suggest she only wear one hat, but the more she refused, the more I realised it didn’t actually really matter. So instead I smiled & took a...
I love this post – I’m a big carnival fan too (well, me and Sophia!) and you’ve captured it all beautifully. I also love that you swapped between cameras! You have a gorgeous family 🙂 xx
We went to Peats Ridge Music Festival in December. Mostly we went to see my brothers awesome band Jesse Morris & the 3 beans 5, which includes my two younger brothers Jesse & Kieran. Also I thought it would be fun for the girls to experience a music festival. I think it’s great for children to be...
These are so beautiful, Lisa! I especially love the ones of your girls dancing and you all in front of the tipi. You make me long to go to a nice, all day music festival again!
Two things. Blueberries are her favourite thing to eat at any time of the day. She will do anything to make us laugh. Pete’s last day off before he went back to work. I had plenty of work to squeeze in, so I got up at 3am & worked til about 10am, so that I...
Day 4 She can be cautious. In most situations she is a ‘think it through first’ kind of girl. But then there is this lovely balance where she is confident and allows an element of risk. She is determined. She likes to try new things. She likes to get better at things. She hasn’t quite mastered hand stands or cartwheels yet,...
Last January I took part in the personal photo project taking a photo-a-day of my children for the entire month of January. It was a very special month for us as it was the last month before Ava started school. She had just turned Five. Anouk was two and a half. Now Ava is six and Anouk is three and a half....
I love the way you describe layers being shed to reveal new beauty – that’s a wonderful way to put it and how I feel about my girl and watching her grow. You have inspired me to do this sometime soon. It’s a lovely way to remember. I look forward to following you through the month! xxx
