We had this session booked in and for the week before had been watching the weather forecast closely. On the day, the radar was looking a bit questionable, but with two families involved, and a can do attitude we set off. I am always happy to reschedule sessions due to weather or ill health, but this time we were all eager to have a go with the option of a take 2 if needed. 

What struck me throughout this session was the way that the younger cousins looked up to their big ones as a source of fun, safety and snacks! ;)    

What is not to love about an afternoon like this? Autumn leaves, golden light, gorgeous dogs and two families coming together to celebrate one of their favourite people. I have to say that by the time we had finished, I was wishing I had a Gum Gum too (isn't that just the best name?)!
As usual, I completely overdelivered on the number of photos provided which is just fine by me. Enjoy the fun that is this gorgeous crew.

Finishing grade 6 is a huge milestone, particularly for the class of 2021 who had an interrupted final two years of primary schooling. With these two besties headed to different high schools, their mums thought that gifting them a shoot to celebrate their friendship was in order. I couldn't agree more!
D and E were so full of life, positivity, energy, fun and support for each other! Growing up, but still loving embracing their matchy matchy outfits. I'm sure these two are destined for great things.

A family celebration can be so much fun to capture. When I was asked to attend a wedding anniversary for an extended family and some of their closest friends I was thrilled to say yes.
How precious to have the afternoon captured so you can enjoy the time and not worry about who is taking the photos! The family were able to casually hang out with each other as I went about snapping and we managed to take some relaxed family photos too for each group there.
Here is just a small snippet of what was taken on the day.
