We had a really wonderful weekend.
Filled with friends, and fun, and tonnes of laughter.
We spent Saturday night at my friend J’s farm. Going there is like stepping off the hamster wheel and falling into a soft cloud of worry-free time. The boys and I totally relaxed.
And on Sunday, we drove to Bowral to catch up with my oldest friend, Eliza, and her family. Eliza lives in Melbourne, and we haven’t seen each other for over 15 years. We reconnected recently on Facebook (gotta love that!) and she invited us to her parents’ place for a leisurely day of catching up.
It was so wonderful!
She and I were inseparable from the ages of 4 through to 10, when I moved away, and I was really a part of her family during that time.
It was as though time had stood still. Sure, we were all a lot older… but in all the ways that mattered, we were all exactly the same.
Eliza has two gorgeous daughters, and I was lucky enough to be able to photograph them ….

a wonderful weekend and some gorgeous images. I just love the way you get such ‘drama’ (for want of a better word) in the catchlights of their eyes.
its great the way old friendships can just flow on even after large spaces of time. I too have a friend from 0-12yr who I rarely see & only speak to a couple of times a year but its still just good old ‘us’ when we are together.glad you had such a lovely time.

Gasp! Those photos are the best you have taken yet Fe – what a truly gorgeous set of portraits!! I am almost speechless! I hope when I come up to Sydney next year you can work some of that magic on my girl – I would just love it.
