22.01.2022 DAY TWENTY FIVE | 2020 So now that we have another family member, the kids thought the puppy should feature in my photo a day. Introducing Benny.

22.01.2022 Aw just look at these handsome brothers! Yiota Kosmas

22.01.2022 DAY TWENTY THREE | 2020 It was freezing at the beach today, but that didn't stop our little water babies. They swam, played, built sandcastles, dug holes, collected shells and looked for fish until their lips were purple. Loving life!

15.01.2022 TEEN PORTRAITS A question for the parents out there- do you have photos of yourself as a teen that you love? If not, would you like to have them?... I can’t think of a better gift for a teen, it’s a celebration of the amazing person you have worked so hard to raise, and will give your teen a huge confidence boost! Gift vouchers available.

14.01.2022 Van and her gorgeous little girls, aren’t they all just gorgeous! This family is a true joy to spend time with, and these girls are so lucky to have such connected loving parents.

14.01.2022 DAY TWENTY SEVEN | 2020 These two, ah they are so lovely together. Leo adores Olivia, and she thinks he is the lesser of two evils (brothers ). They have shared a bedroom on and off forever, Olivia and Sam share at the moment because Leo hasn’t had his own room since he was a baby in a cot. I really miss them having time together at night to debrief, I loved listening to them chat in bed together, like their debrief after Leo’s first day of prep or the night before when Liv... would warn him about which are the gross school toilets. I really try to soak those moments in, and give thanks for being so blessed with these children. Right now is awesome, these are the best days, I'm going to miss these everyday moments more than anything.

12.01.2022 DAY TWENTY NINE | 2020 Leo. My wish for you this year is happiness, pure and simple. Although it isn’t always that simple, because to be happy, sometimes you need to be brave. Brave enough to be bad at something new, until you’re better at it. Take chances. Ask questions. Make mistakes. Learn. Live. Try. Let go of what doesn’t make you happy, and always be yourself. ... I’m so glad you’ve made some friends at your new school, it’s so nice to see your smiling face when I pick you up. Change can be a good thing after all right? Friends may come and go in life, sometimes a person is in your life for a season, not forever, and that's ok. Never worry about the people God removes from your life. He heard conversations you didn’t. Saw things you couldn’t. And made moves you wouldn’t. Trust yourself, trust us, and for goodness sake stop putting your dirty clothes down the side of your bed!

10.01.2022 DAY THIRTY | 2020 Sam. My wild, crazy cat who just wants to be loved. I see you. And I love you.... You have my stubborn streak, and I understand how you feel a lot of the time when you’re frustrated. If people took the time to listen, you wouldn’t be so misunderstood. Because you’re not badly behaved, if anyone ever says that, they haven’t taken the time to get to know you, and they have a narrow idea of how children (and people) should be. Your emotions are normal and welcome. Even the big ones. I see you. I get you. I will help you. It will take some time (I’m still working really hard on this myself!) but I will try to teach you to be a calm person. It’s a long game I know. But you need to start somewhere. To be strong, you need to have self control. You need to master calmness. To get to a point where your mood doesn’t shift based on the insignificant actions of someone else. Their actions are out of your control. But you control your reaction. Don’t allow others to control the direction of your life. Don’t allow your emotions to overpower your intelligence. And also, sometimes it’s best to keep your mouth shut and let people believe what they want.

05.01.2022 DAY TWENTY EIGHT | 2020 Olivia. My darling girl. ... I feel like I need to soak you up right now, you're growing up so quickly. Now in your last year of primary school, it feels like it’s the last year of your ‘childhood’. Next year you’ll be in high school and soon entering your teen years. You had a huge year last year, you learned true loss and grief, the heartbreaking cry into your pillow kind of grief. I couldn’t be more proud of how you have handled yourself, I know we’ve asked a lot of you - thank you. You're always so gracious and helpful, and I couldn’t do all of the things I do without you. I know we’re going to face moments when you feel that Dad and I don’t understand the challenges you face, or that we play down your big problems, or overreact to small things, but we’ve both seen more than you can imagine, and we know people, we get people, and if we think someone is off - we're right, sorry honey, and we won’t be afraid to say no to you if we need to, to protect you. I’m hoping we can navigate these issues with great communication, you can talk to us about anything, and I will always tell you the truth. We will never stop trying, caring, loving or guiding you. And lastly, please don't worry about what other people think of you. That’s a big one I know, but it’s such a waste of energy. Because you can be the ripest juiciest peach in the world, and there’s still going to be somebody who doesn’t like peaches.

03.01.2022 DAY THIRTY ONE | 2020 Wow, I’m only 14 days late with this post. The final photo for my January photo-a-day project. This photo has been sitting on my desktop, waiting to be uploaded, but I haven’t had the time for this one small task. It keeps moving to the bottom of the long to-do list, during the day I have been working hard to send galleries out to my clients, then at night the kids have needed a chat in bed and some extra time, so I have chosen them over my computer. I’...Continue reading

03.01.2022 CLOSED Sadly, from today I need to temporarily close my photography business. I am so sad about this, especially for my newborn clients who have sessions booked in the coming weeks, but I understand it’s to protect the health of our community and there’s nothing more important than stopping this virus for the future health of us all.... I feel especially bad for the business owners with rent to pay, stock to move and staff to pay. Please know I’m thinking of you all, and will do whatever I can to support your business when life goes back to normal, whatever that looks like. My family are I are staying home, having a go at home schooling and enjoying the beautiful autumn weather in the backyard. We are all feeling calm, hopeful and healthy. This is the time to be a strong leader for your children, to hold the energy that shows them you’ve got this, you’re prepared, they’re safe and everything will be okay. Your kids are watching your reactions, fear level and behaviour around this pandemic. Lead with confidence and drink coffee! Love to you all, everything is going to be ok.

03.01.2022 DAY TWENTY FOUR | 2020 My New Years resolution was that 2020 would be the year of Rebecca. No more doing too much, pushing myself to be everything to everyone. I had plans, freedom, dreams. And those dreams specifically included, NOT having a dog. 24 days into the year, and they broke me. The needs of the many, outweighed the needs of the one. ... So on Wednesday next week when everyone is back to school and work, I won't be free, because I have to look after their dog. But I'm doing it graciously without resentment, because that's what you do when you're in a family.

03.01.2022 DAY TWENTY SIX | 2020 My boys. Night and day.... Chalk and cheese. Lately, I've been asked on a daily basis if they're twins - they hate it! They could not be more different. The way they see life, the things they enjoy, what drives them, what paralyses them. But what they have in common is their fierce love of our family, and although they would deny it, their love for each other. There are so many things I want them to know and learn, and I have my own ideas for the way their life should look but that's not up to me. It’s up to them, I can’t control their choices, so instead, I want them to know that I trust them. I trust them to carve out the life they think is right for them. I trust their idea of success. I trust them to see the mistakes they have made and to make it right and learn from it. I want them to experience the empowerment that comes with knowing you can trust yourself. Because that’s where courage and resilience lives.
