I met Desiree and Rob 2 years ago when I ran a series on my blog on inspirational immigrant women. Des is such a great lady with a great story and a great heart so it was inevitable for us to become friends!

Both Des & Rob’s children came to visit them for Christmas last year, so Des contacted me as soon as she heard the news and book me to do a family photo session of their beautiful combined family.  Such a great thing to do since it’s not always easy to gather the whole family for a session like this.  On a very boiling hot 26 December, we had some fun with the family.  The brightest of bright sunlight was burning down on us early in the morning.  The shade did not even cool us down.  We started the shoot at 9am with the hope of it not being to hot this time of the morning.  December is summertime in Perth … and well … it gets extremely hot most of the days, but mostly it will only be really hot after 11am.  Not this time around.  It was uncomfortably hot on this day from early on in the morning.   But the family were real troopers, and we got some gorgeous images which will last them a lifetime.

Thanks to you all for keeping your cool during the session.  We loved our time with you all.
