Family ( What is Love ? ) | Melbourne Extended Family Photographer

Recently I had the pleasure of documenting a big family reunion, organised in secret, to celebrate the 70th birthday of the family patriarch.

The children and grandchildren all flew in from all over Australia for this fantastic surprise, and despite a week of not-so-fantastic weather and much fingernail-nibbling from me ( just what will I do with 16 people if it rains, with a tight window of opportunity, and near their home so they can make their restaurant booking?? )

Luckily, the Sun Gods did shine, and it was glorious..

So What is Family?


Love:

I'd also like to say a big thanks and shout-out to the lovely Angie for the referral.
I'd share a cab with her anytime.
