This dear little girl, much longed for, hugely anticipated, and only known as ‘Snowflake’ before her arrival.

Is it just me, or did 2015 get thrust upon us before we were even fully used to 2014? Call me crazy, but I think time is speeding up. Like, for real. Maybe we just live busier lives now and fill our days up with so much adventure that the weeks and months are whizzing by – but I wonder if there’s more than that to it. … 
It’s hard not to fall in love with ‘my’ families. I say they’re ‘my’ family because I share such amazing experiences with them. Take Ben and Alice, for example. I watched them say I DO, a year later I stood and waited outside the labour room and photographed gorgeous little Otis as a fresh little new born. … 
Birth is beautiful. It’s one of the hugest of life events, it’s full of raw emotion, joy and ultimately love. It’s an experience that you can only understand by going through it, and one that is not soon forgotten. I love birth. … 
Back in high school Chris was part of the ‘in’ crowd, he played rugby and the parties he got to go to were the ‘cool’ parties that Mandy wasn’t part of. But he knew about Mandy, and rather fancied her. She fancied him right back, but turned him down every time he asked her out. … 
I’ve known Cassie since she was the tiny wee girl with a mischievous smile and gorgeous deep eyes. Somehow time whizzed past me and this beautiful girl has grown into a beautiful woman, now with a family of her own. While I can’t stop this freight train called time, I can capture the beauty and freeze it, this 500th of a second, to enjoy for many many years. … 
It all started with a high speed blender. You see, I’ve totally been sucked into the ‘blender’ craze. You throw all sorts of yummy (and sometimes not-so-yummy) things into a blender, whizz it all up and WHALLA, you have magnificent healthy blended green goop! … 
I’m a sucker for pregnancy, childbirth and babies. It’s my thing. I love the process, I love the anticipation and I love the joy that a new baby gives to parents. It’s so addictive that we’ve done it half a dozen times, and while our older children insist we give them more siblings, I’ve called it a day. … 
Emily and Jonathan’s engagement session was a long time coming. We scheduled it, rescheduled it and rescheduled it again (and then again?) Generally it was the weather keeping us apart, not just little spatterings of rain either! Big dramatic windy and rainy weather, that only eventuated the afternoon of any date we were planning for. … 
It was the kind of day that you just didn’t want to end. And I wasn’t even the bride, or the groom, or in any way related. But, I dunno, I think after the day we experienced with Bonnie and Toby I’d like to think of ourselves now as friends. …
