Beach Baby...

What can I say? She's adorable!

This little chicken and her parents met me down at Coogee Beach for a family photo session this afternoon.

All it took was a pink stuffed cow to get Miss P to smile for the camera. She is the happiest baby I have photographed in quite some time!

Two little girls and another on the way...

How fun was it getting to help this family document the current stage of their family?! Two little girls and another on the way! (That's a lot of painted finger-nails and frilly skirts!) Mum & Dad informed me that they hadn't had a nice photograph taken of the two of them together in years... so we had to remedy that! And how cute is the bump?! Due to arrive in September- just one week before our little bump! xo

When you love someone...

I heard some song lyrics today that struck a chord with me:

When you love someone
you'll do anything
you'll do all the crazy things
that you can't explain

you'll shoot the moon
put out the sun...
when you love someone.

We are going through some crazy-stressful times these days. Chris and I. Others. People around us who we care about. Things have been falling apart and we've all been working in different ways to put them back together. It is taking time and patience... and lots of love.

I'm finding that sometimes circumstances that seem so big and so difficult can turn out just fine in the end... as long as people are loving each other and acting out of love.

The concept of "putting out the sun" is huge. But I've seen some pretty amazing people pulling off some pretty amazing feats lately in times of pain & grief. They are doing it for the people they love- and it's inspiring.

To all those who have been affected by the helicopter crash in Afghanistan- those who lost their lives, those who were injured, those who got out safely, those who helped them come home, those who lost them, and those who continue to help them heal. xo
