family photos

The girls’ primary school had a family photo fundraiser recently through Advanced Life Photography.  Just wanted to share the photos –  because the one of the girls is absolutely adorable!

Clare and Stella

How sweet is that! Aged 10 and 5 respectively (grade 5 and Prep). I know that this photo will be one that we look back on over the years. My two primary school girls.

Family Photo

Okay, my husband is looking a little vague in this one – and he’s usually extremely photogenic! – but otherwise it’s pretty good of all of us.  Yes, my husband and I are looking quite middle-aged now, but that’s because we are 48 and 44 respectively!  That is middle aged, if you live to 96 and 88!  I keep kidding myself that the kids are keeping us young….

We only had about one family photo done when I was a kid. My husband’s family had loads, because they were migrants and always wanted family photos to send back to the relatives still in Holland. I remember visiting houses where there were numerous family photos on the walls, and I was always fascinated. I like having family photos around me – they remind me of how things have been, and are an interesting link with the past for the people to come. Do you get family photos taken regularly? And how long do you display them for?

(And to the relatives and godparents reading this – yes, you will get hard copies in the mail!)

(and yes – I did make all three dresses!)
