thomas and aston at ocean beach

some months ago, we had some bad flooding in our region and as a consequence, our favourite beach, Ocean Beach, ended up covered with drift wood.  one winter afternoon after school, i took this great opportunity to pack the kids into the car, promising them much fun to be had at the beach.  i also packed my camera of course...! we arrived late afternoon, they played and i took photos.  we had a great time altogether.  here is what the boys got up to, and the photos i took.  i hope you will also enjoy the scenery, this beach is truly beautiful.  xx

 

zoe's pretty flowery mauve dress

we had such a fun shoot that day with zoe when we photographed her mum's pretty white and mauve dress with delicate flowers all over it.  zoe was in fine form and the dress suited her so beautifully. 

zoe's dresses

Zoe is my gorgeous friend, who also happens to have the most amazing collection of…well…just about everything. 

She was very close to her mum, and the stories about her mum’s life are fascinating.  When she showed me trunk after trunk full of fabulous vintage dresses that all belonged to her mum, most of them from designers, I knew I wanted to document them. .  Hopefully one day, zoe will write a post about her mum.  I am also very lucky that zoe can fit them all, and so naturally she became our project’s model too. 

Our goal is to photograph as many of the dresses as possible this year.
