On one of the windy, WINDY days we had last week, I met Kaylene & Daniel and their family: Simone who is 15, 3 year old Alyssa, and baby Olivia. Kaylene works with LeeAnn, and had seen her photos on Facebook – thanks for the referral, LeeAnn 
Even tho it was in the late afternoon, and it was pretty chilly out, these guys were awesome (I always know a shoot is going to be a good one, when the baby turns up in a Parramatta Eels bib – much to Kaylenes disgust!) I was warned not to use the word ‘smile’, but to use ‘giggle’ instead to get little Alyssa’s attention….. well, it worked! She would have to be one of the happiest 3 year olds ive met! Check out this cutie:
And this is little Olivia (not so little, actually – she is a gorgeous chubba bubba!). This poor little thing was struck down with whooping cough, and spent about a month in hospital, when she was around 4 months old. My heart was breaking as Kaylene & Daniel were telling me about it, so many yucky things has happened to this little princess in her short, short life, but she’s on the mend now, thank goodness. A note to everyone – she contracted whooping cough AFTER having her shots – apparently the shots don’t stop you getting it, it just means the illness doesn’t come on as strong as it would without having the injections. I would hate to think what would have happened to Olivia if she hadn’t had her injections – so please, PLEASE, immunise your kids.
Hello Simone! Simone bought a friend to the shoot (I think it was Kaylenes suggestion – to make Simone smile) – well, it worked! And thanks to Kaitlyn for your awesome Rick Astley dancing.
Back to the family stuff….
Super Olivia!
The gorgeous family of 5.
Kaylene bought out a ‘family heirloom’ dress that she’s got photos of the other 2 girls wearing. Olivia wasnt to impressed…..
The Neilson family…..
Thanks Kaylene, it was great to meet you and your family last week, I hope none of you (especially Olivia!) caught a cold. I hope you enjoy your photos – check your inbox for your slideshow L. xx
