I know I shouldn’t have favourites but it is not every day I get to photograph twins. I love twins !! It is so special watching them grow.

I know you shouldn’t compare them and you should treat them as individuals but you can’t help it. You compare which one rolls, which one sits longer, which one talks more, which one is more social, which one is more of a Mum’s girl. It is just natural and we all do it I think. I find all these things interesting as it really shows their personalities and the differences between them. I like to work out their little personalities.

These twins are so so gorgeous that I can’t help but cluck over both of them. I love getting cuddles while Mum changes outfits. I always make sure I split my time evenly as I am obsessed about ensuring they both get my attention. I just love these two girls and after every shoot I have with them, I am always smiling from ear to ear.

A quick shot with the very proud big brother:

A heap of my babies are turning one and I struggle to cope with that. I hate them turning one, there I said it. Why? Because that means they are growing up. That means that time is going way to fast. It means that my year of documenting them comes to an end.

I love watching them grow. I love every session we do together. I love seeing their behaviour change and their personalities grow. I love watching them turn from a needy little bubby who depends on their mother for everything, to a little grown up who at the age of one, thinks they can do anything in their little world. I love the attitudes and I love the cheekiness.

This is Ella. I documented Ella’s arrival into the world and now she is big. In her eyes she is very big and the world is not going to stop her. She loves to run and run and run. There is no slowing this little Miss down, but why would you want to. She has the world at her feet and she should go for it. Big hugs and kisses Ella, you are gorgeous.

Busy just doesn’t describe my workload at the moment. Chaotic, hectic, insane sound much closer to the mark.

Today I have photographed the Koolest Kid in the Manning, a 3 year old and 3 week old, a 4mth old, spoke to a future bride and edited 2 photo shoots. Now as I sit here to blog, I am pigging out on the mega block of chocolate my darling husband bought for me last night (sucking up for potentially more chocolate) and having my caffeine hit of the day. I do have training tonight with my personal trainer but thank god I think he is to busy to read my blog so I should be safe !!

3 things on my mind:

1. Wedding season officially starts in a week and a bit. That excites me more than scares me. I am so totally into my style with weddings at the moment and I am loving it. We often have a reflection over winter and find direction. What do I want my photos to look like? What is my style? Does it say enough about me? Does it capture the things I want to say? Do they have that wow factor I am looking for? I have just finished Kylie & Matthew’s wedding from a couple of weekends ago and I LOVE them. I am loving my wedding photography mojo at the moment and am excited for all the weddings that lie ahead.

2. Christmas. Yes it does seem a bit early to start talking the C word but I am planning my Christmas specials for this year.

3. Diet Coke and chocolate. Ok, this is only here as that is what is in my hand at the moment. So totally satisfying. I have to add my cravings drive Jase insane. Yes I am eating chocolate and drinking Diet Coke. To me that is totally normal. I am the type to go to maccas and order a meal with a diet coke. I just like it, it is one thing he has to live with despite how much it irritates him.

So maybe I shouldn’t write blog posts of an afternoon when my caffeine levels are low. But hey, I was going to write this blog post all day.

So this afternoon, I decided I need to get more pics on this blog. I have carried these images to work and back with me and never had a chance to blog until now.

This is Scarlett. Scarlett is 12 months old !! She has turned the big milestone into toddlerhood. She is super cute, super adorable, super photogenic and loved very very much. Just check out how adorable she is. All things sugar and spice ….

There has been a big gap in the blog and I do apologise. The family and work mix sometimes doesn’t allow for enough time. Last week I had a family illness which most of my time was spent on the road between here and Port Macquarie. Consequently the blog came last, but things are all back to normal from now.

The Koolest Kid comp winner will be announced later today. There are a heap of votes to finish counting today, so later this afternoon all will be revealed.

Todays blog post is of little Riley. This gorgeous little guy is a handsome one year old. The joy in watching a toddler explore the world is amazing. It also shows me how fast time has gone.  Do the blog followers remember this blog post, I remember that night like it was yesterday. It was the night I was at the hospital the exact time I gave birth to my son, just 4 years later. It is very memorable.

I can remember when my kids were babies and the nights I sat there wondering how to get this child to sleep. All I wanted was to sleep and nothing I tried would work. My son was a shocking sleeper. At the age of 2 I was still getting up to him 2-3 nights a week. I have learnt that there is a light at the end of the tunnel when you struggle to see it. For those Mums who have a terrible night sleeper, as I watch my 5 year old run around I now know that it gets easier. I now have a full nights sleep virtually every night, bad dreams and illness aside.

So where is this blog post going I hear you wonder? Just a reflection on how time really does fly. How the baby stages pass so fast. Maybe one Mum will read this if she had a horrible night last night and know that it does get easier and someone understands. It also makes me stop and listen to the sounds of the kids yabbering away in some pretend game they are playing right now. Babies and kids are so amazing !!

I love the range of expressions. So much character, so much personality, a very devilish look in his eye. I am having so much fun watching Dom grow, it is very sad his next shoot will be the big ONE. You just want a way to stop them from growing. It all changes way to fast !

That smile totally draws you in. He has such an infectious personality that I totally fell in love with him. He smiled at everything, he thought I was funny (probably more like thought I was crazy), and we had the shoot done and dusted in record time.
