Casting Call - family #1

Meet Sarah and Paul and their 2 little munchkins, the first photoshoot for our recent casting call!

We had a really special morning chilling out at Coburg Lake, feeding the ducks, playing in the playground and hanging out together. This is what I love about my new lifestyle photoshoots... I feel like I'm part of the family, enjoying getting to know families in a much more holistic way than previously. I spent a couple of hours with these guys, but we could have quite easily have kept going for another 2.

Considering the fam had just come home from a trip to NZ the night before and were a bit jetlagged and on NZ time still, the kids were in fabulous spirits and never stopped running the whole time I was there (especially Alice!)... I do hope they both had a restful afternoon.

Thanks again Sarah and Paul, for answering the casting call for families. Enjoy your preview x

Firstly, just as we started, we had a short sharp shower - so we all huddled undercover while it passed!

 How cool is this bridge?

Ring-a-ring-rosie!

Oh! These park benches were like banana lounges!

So, mum forgot the bread for the ducks. But no matter! There was Cruskits! And not many ducks!

Off to the playground.
