A Beautiful Life :: Melbourne Family Photographer ::

After much planning over the phone with this beautiful family, in the middle of a Melbourne Summer, I was horrified to awake on the morning of their shoot to dark grey skies. We'd talked about high noon and the heat and the sun .. but no-one had discussed rain. It seemed so .. unlikely!

The shoot was at 8am in Werribee, but leaving early at 6am ( in case I got lost ! ) I was hopeful .. after all, I haven't had to cancel a shoot to bad weather yet, and this is Melbourne...

So we settled inside and turned on all the lights. Boy, it was dark out there.
We kept sneaking furtive glances outside, hoping for a break in the rain. "We only need a window of light" I kept telling them, and in the meantime, we made good with some music and stories with their beautiful little girl in their most gorgeous home.

Ahh Melbourne - thankyou!!
The P family had an adorable house, with a much prided-over garden. I would have cried if I didn't get out in it to photograph. You can see in many of the pics though it is still drizzling .. see the little drops in the next image? :

P Famiglia - thankyou so much for inviting me into your beautiful home - I loved hanging out with you for the morning while we bided the weather - you were so accomodating and wonderful, and your gorgeous little girl is a treat!
