An Australian dad, an American mum. Two amazing little girls. I had the pleasure of photographing this beautiful family earlier this year. Isla just turned one, and is wearing a hand-me-down dress that her sister wore at the same age. Georgia is three and is definitely a city girl (we came across some bees and she was not excited about it). It was a beautiful day for sunflowers and spins in pretty dresses. Thanks so much for hanging out with me for an hour in the gardens!

The Reyes Family | Documentary Family Photography in Melbourne
I met the Reyes family on a sunny day at Elwood Beach. We had a short session in the sand and at the park. This American family has been in Melbourne for a year! Three little boys make for some fun moments 🙂

Day in the Life – The Stewart Family
What are the best souvenirs for grandparents who come visit from the other side of the world?
Photos!
These grandparents decided a short day in the life session was the perfect way to document their time spent with their family. We went to the park, made pizzas, and spent quality time at home.
Here is a tiny sample of their four hour day in the life session in Hawthorn East.

Isabelle – 4 Years Old
In case you haven’t noticed already, my approach to portrait/family photography is a little bit different. I like to let kids be kids, and capture their real personalities. This is Isabelle, who recently turned 4! We did some typical posed shots first, but then we let her do her thing. And these are the pictures that I really love.
Sweet, crazy girl… keep being you 🙂

Fall Sessions – Houston Family Photography
I’ve been super busy recently, and just thought I’d share a little of what I’ve been doing! Here are a few images from some really cute fall family sessions at parks in Houston. The pumpkin patch is at St. Luke’s Methodist on Westheimer.
Day in the Life – Ruffin Family
Here a few shots from a mini day-in-the-life session with the Ruffin family! Warren is 5 months old and just so precious. We had a fun, lazy Sunday afternoon together 🙂
