Finally, finally, finally ... I managed to get my two favourite people in front of the camera.
Let me introduce my 'favourite' daughter, Abbey, and my 'favourite' son, Ben. They are my life. I always describe them to people as, Ben and I are so very similar 'two peas in a pod', and Abbey is my BFF.
My life is taking a different path and I am heading back to my homeland in a few months. Ben is staying in Australia, which is just so, the right decision for him ... but it hurts so much to know that in a matter of weeks we will not be on the same side of the world.
Abbey has just gone off travelling and is thinking of staying on in London. Saying goodbye to her brother at the airport was heart wrenching. I never thought I would ever be in this position with us all being at different parts of the globe. I had never really imagined that we would not be living round the corner from each other.
It has thrown me completely ...
With this in mind my lovely kids finally said they would have a photo session with me. So - no rain checks or time to change clothes etc, I threw them in the car and we went to the local Brookfield show grounds.
I absolutely adore these images, not only do they mean so much as its the first time they have allowed me to take their images,
but its the last time for a long .... long .... time they will be together ... at all.
They had so much fun, they made my life easy. They threw themselves into the session, especially the sack racing and as a result we captured some of my all time favourite images ... ever !!!!.
I thank you both so much ...
these images mean so much to me
I love you
