Picture Perfect

I remember when getting family photos done was a rare and special occassion that took place every few years. Outfits were perfectly co-ordinated (sailor suits were fierce in those days), haircuts fresh, and ears even cleaned.

It's been a while since we've had any nice family photos taken so for Mothers Day this year, I organised for my dreadfully talented friend, Rebecca, to take some casual and candid shots of us all. Outfits were not discussed, haircuts were a sensitive issue and let's hope our ears are always clean now.

We held the shoot at our house over a couple of hours last Sunday and the relaxed environment produced some really amazing shots. I'm meeting with Bec tomorrow to go through all the pics, but here's a snapshot of the 500+ shots taken. Kristian wasn't really in the mood for pictures so we have around 10 uncomfortable shots of him and none of the three of us (Kristian, me and Hugo), so we plan to re-schedule with Bec to take some more... just for fun!

And as a side note, if any of you Sydney-folk are looking for a brilliant photographer, then you MUST visit Rebecca's website and book her in. She is so very talented. Everyone felt really happy and relaxed during the shoot and I credit that totally to her approach. Here's some of the results.... (and don't worry Mom, we'll be sending a disc of the best images to your Canadian shores this week!)
