Family Photoshoot - In beautiful tranquil Warrandyte

Recently I spent an afternoon with Ashlee, Dan and their daughter Xanthea at Warrandyte Pound Bend Reserve. If you haven’t visited and you like beautiful and tranquil surroundings, then it’s perfect for you. I was lucky enough to spend my teenage years growing up around this park. It's a beautiful place.

I’ll let the photos do the talking. What a beautiful place to capture a beautiful family.

A romantic stroll along the beach

Amy, Steve and their dog Shadow often take a gentle stroll along the beach after dinner.

Shadow is like a wind-up toy. Throw the ball, and he will keep bringing it back.

With Shadow occupied, it gave me a chance to capture a few moments between Amy and Steve.

Cake Smash Time

Some advice to all parents out there wanting to do a cake smash for their children:
It’s really hard when they can just get up and run away from the cake! Oscar is a very cute but very cheeky one year old who attempted a cake smash!

With some help from his older brother Gabriel, he eventually got the idea.

But somehow the cake smash turned into a dance party! Is big brother already a bad influence?

Well done little Oscar, you finally smashed the cake!

Let's take the kids to the park. It will be fun, they said!

Doesn’t the saying go, “you should never work with children or animals?” Well, I clearly failed that test!

But when you go against all advice, you get some awesome photos like this:

Well, at least they co-operated some of the time (this included dad!). Like father, like daughter?

But, kids will be kids and I wouldn’t want it any other way!
