Meet Melinda & her gorgeous family…… husband Michael, girls Alicia & Charlotte, and little Liam. This family was supposed to be my last shoot for 2009…. but, due to a sick little boy (who ended up at Westmead Children’s Hospital with a nasty rash!), instead ended up being my first shoot for 2010! I know this year will be even better than 2009, when you start it with a session like this – the whole family in jeans with no shoes, just having fun around their home, with those big gorgeous smiles!
Did I mention the smiles?
Not yet from Liam…. he took a little while to warm up.
Warm!
I couldn’t work out which photo I liked better here – so I decided to share both:
Im not sure what the kids are doing in this next photo – Alicia sure is having a good time! 
Family of 5!

I don’t often shoot family portraits at home – not that I don’t like it, I just find that most of my clients prefer bush / park / beach in the background. But Melinda wanted her house as a backdrop – isn’t it cute! And im not sure how you get the grass so green -> you guys aren’t on recycled water – im sure there are still water restrictions?! Whatever the case, the gardens look amazing (and the grass was nice and spongy to sit on!)
Melinda & the girls:
And the whole family, including Molly the cat!
Thank you, Melinda, for inviting me into your home to photograph your gorgeous family! Thank you also, Jo Colfer, for the referral lauren xx

Thank you Lauren. You did an amazing job with our family, particularly working around Mr Liam’s scowls and Charlotte’s new ‘push my bottom teeth forward’ style! We have been loooooooooking through all the photos and are having a very difficult time choosing. Thanks again for your understanding when Liam was so unwell.
Love how you captured this family. Looks like they thoroughly enjoyed the occasion – even Liam!
