A mini-session with Freya

Freya was busy telling me stories last week. So many gorgeous expressions on this little face. x

More balloon balls

Some for the boys...

Balloon balls

Since all of Alia's buddies have been turning ONE lately, I decided I'd make them each balloon balls! I think it's probably one of the coolest ideas I've ever heard of (I totally stole the idea from Locket). I have so many cool bits of fabric that need using, so really wanted to make them myself.

If you're wondering what a balloon ball is, it's basically a pretty wrapping for a balloon. What's AWESOME about it is that you can re-use and re-use the balloon over and over again since you don't have to tie it. The fabric is tight enough so it holds the twist in place! AND the balloon doesn't pop. AND it looks pretty (oh I think I mentioned that already).

So here's the first one (with Alia as the model of course). Actually Alia was being super extra specially cute, so it turned into an Alia shoot instead of a balloon ball shoot. Man I love this girl.

Eddie

My nephew, two weeks new. We had a week long holiday at the beach together. I spent lots of time cuddling and not nearly enough time taking photos. x

      

It's all just so exhausting!

Trouble...

     

Oh and he did wake up occasionally!

A family of SEVEN

This is one amazing family! Five kids and they still managed to get them all ready and keen for a family photo... just. Three month old Olivia is the latest addition to the team. She is one very much loved little girl.

Jesse couldn't wait to get in the pool!

And Olivia says MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Odin and Sophie

Nine month old twins who are on the move? Almost impossible to photograph! They are a super cute pair though with such cool personalities. They must have heaps of fun all the time playing on dad's drums and guitars - I'm predicting future musicians.
