This quote came through 2 days before Israel was about to run his first ever marathon. Quite appropriate don’t you think?

Of course his response was “I’ll just focus on this one I think”. Now he has proven to himself that his mind can beat his body by running one marathon, he is considering another… will there then be a 3rd to see if he likes it? We’ll keep you posted.

Wednesday night is our date night & as a special treat we usually allow Indrani to watch a movie with her babysitter. The one rule to this special treat is she must finish eating her dinner at the dinner table before she can watch the movie.

When we returned from our night out, our babysitter told us that after kissing us goodbye & closing the door behind us, Indrani turned & said to her

“now that mum & dad have gone, we can change the rules ok!”

Of course we laughed at first, then it made us think about what’s in store for us in the future… maybe not so funny:)

Catherine & Saul had a fabulous Jewish Chuppah and a fun filled reception at the Taronga Centre. We just love the tradition involved in Jewish weddings – the first time Catherine & Saul saw each other before their ceremony – the moment he lifted her veil was nothing short of magical & absolutely 100% emotional.

Catherine & Saul are very busy, both working shift work at a hospital so when they have a chance, we will update their real life story with more of their own words about their day. Until then we just couldn’t wait to share some of their day.

Elizabeth and Charles hosted a beautiful traditional wedding at St Michaels at Vaucluse followed by a stunning reception for family and friends at Vaucluse Tea Rooms.

Elizabeth & Charles will provide us with more details of their day shortly so we can share all their inspirations and their illuminating team with you. Until then, enjoy this selection of some of their stunning images.

We first met Abi & John in 20XX when their first daughter was just x years old.  So when Abi contacted us to update their family portraits, we were very excited. This is just one of the parts of our work we love – catching up with families and meeting their new children.

Abi & John chose to do their shoot at Bronte and we’d all like to share some of their favourite images.

Jeanette & Max have 2 teenage children and 2 furry children who are very much a part of their family.

When Jeanette & Max received a Portrait Gift Certificate, they decided it was a perfect time to document their family in their home environment. So we went to Dural and did this great lifestyle shoot at their home. It was plenty of fun and here are some of their favourite images.

Jeanette & Max designed 2 beautiful triple frames that tell a story of their family.  The first of the children, then the other to celebrate them as a couple. We just love them.

I love this because it reinforces to spend time on things that really matter to the heart, & not waste time on the small stuff.

Monica was the extremely lucky winner of the Our Family – Win Mum A House Cleaner competition.

Monica already thought her registration fee of $50 covering a portrait session and a place in the Our Family book was a great deal. After hearing of her win, she says it’s the best $50 she has ever spent!
