Our great friends Sal and Josh are expecting a small version. I am thrilled. Sal tried so many tricks to get out of having a baby; including a knee operation, a bone infection, and an emergency evacuation to a hospital down south to avoid a leg amputation, and more antibiotics than one human body should have to swallow.
family of legends
One of the guys in this family is Tom, and he was my husbands best mate when they were little and living in country Victoria. I found my husbands school books and laughed to see ‘Favourite activity: building cubbies with Tom.” They took this next level by becoming builders for the same company in Darwin. In fact, it gets weirder. They even had daughters three days apart, who both have blonde, curly hair. And both have been known to mistake their father for the other father which they can be forgiven for given that both guys are blonde, tanned, wear matching work issued hard-yakka clothing and drive the same branded work utes.
christine + darren
Christine asked me to be her wedding photographer before I realised I wanted to be one. They got married on their block at Bees Creek, and the river bed in these photos is their backyard - an absolutely magic spot.
Everything was handcrafted with love by these two, their family and friends; including a multi tiered cake stand that the groom whipped up that morning, and vats of homemade rum.
MAGGIE LOU (5 WEEKS OLD)
It was such a pleasure to visit Kye and Louise and meet little Maggie Louise; who is an absolute sweetheart. Louise was one of my first friends when we moved to Darwin at the age of 10, and we were besties for a number of years. It is a treat to watch her grow such a beautiful family. x
CAMERON + LOREN (HUNTER VALLEY)
After ten years, and two kids, Loren and Cameron decided on a wedding in the Hunter Valley. I was invited as a guest, so I took my camera as a date so I could document the day for them. It was an absolutely beautiful day and the speeches were second to none, I was laughing so hard I could barely take photos. Here is a selection of my favourite photos from the day. Warning: despite my best intentions, this did not end up being a small selection.
