Celebrating 50 years! Beautiful couple still so much in love!

I have had the absolute pleasure and honour to take celebratory portraits for this beautiful couple to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary!

Like many families, this lovely couple have endured many challenges and heart break during their lives, as well as many wonderfully happy times and memories! Together however their obviously strong bond has meant that their marriage survived the bumps, pot holes and a particularly large mountain that life has thrown at them and their family!

I was first introduced to this family many years ago now as one of my dearest friends married into the family. From my first meeting all those years ago, I have always been welcomed and met with open arms! This couples generosity and kindness is obvious.

The children of this couple are fantastic individuals and I'm so pleased that I have been able to get to know their children (and grandchildren!) and be a part (albeit small!) of this lovely couples lives.

I enjoyed hearing some of the stories about their lives - their wedding day, first home, the home they are in now, their amazing garden, the birth of their 4 children and a very tragic loss. I heard about their children and what they are doing now, how proud they are of their grandchildren and how much they are looking forward to seeing their son and his family in Cairns this Christmas (and I'm particularly jealous of this!)

Doreen and Peter - congratulations on 50 years of marriage - you should both be very proud of all you have achieved in your time together and it is lovely to see you so happy together. Thank you for allowing me to share this special time with you!

Until next time …..

Happy Snapping

Spring is a great time to ……...

This statement evokes so many possibilities for me! I love Spring! Do you love Spring? What do you love to do in Spring? Let me know in comments below!

Spring would have to be my all time favourite season! Why? Well because …..

Spring provides us with the opportunity to stop and smell the roses (or the camellias in this case!) Flowers are blooming everywhere and are such a beautiful site! I love flowers and those that have been following me awhile know that I sort of have OCD when it comes to photographing flowers!

Spring is also a fabulous time for playing with animals! And if you can find some baby animals, all the better! We haven't found many baby animals but these gorgeous big ones will do!

Spring is a great time spending it with extended family! There are so many things we can do now that we are getting warmer days and balmy evenings ….. like toasting marshmallows with your cousins!

Or collecting tadpoles and watching them change into frogs!

Or for being a Cowboy! Yeeha!

Blowing Bubbles with Pop! Has to be an all time favourite for kids and kids at heart!!

We can also just hang out and have fun!

And look for the little things all around us!
