project 52 - 27/52

Today we celebrated Jasmine's 1st Birthday with her at the Botanical Gardens, Benowa.  As we walked back to the car, loaded up with kids, pram, scooter, balloons & loot bags - I had to stop.  Next time I'm there I'll take the time to actually find out what they are called :/. Hope you had a great weekend.

"T" family - Gold Coast Winter session.

I fully intended to post these images earlier this week.  Then I got busy and pretty overwhelmed with a long list of 'other things I should be doing first'.  While editing the images I was reminded how important it is to step away for a bit and just do something fun.  Be in the present moment.
The light on this particular afternoon was perfection.  Our original beach location was snapped up by a commercial photographer so we headed South a bit & just caught the Sun as it was about to disappear behind Burleigh Hill.
Watching kids at play, you can't help but feel lighter.  I went home feeling refreshed & looking forward to the Summer months when we eat our dinner at the beach and stay until dark.
Thank you for such a fun session girls!

This session was so relaxing. I could not have asked for a sweeter couple to spend the afternoon with at the gorgeous Botanical Gardens.  The day had been overcast & soon after we arrived, out came the Sun.
 Love was definitely in the air.

You are worried about seeing him spend his early years in doing nothing. What! Is it nothing to be happy? Nothing to skip, play, and run around all day long? Never in his life will he be so busy again.
