While on Facebook, I saw an advertisement from Manatu, a lady from Church introducing her new photography business Eye Love Photography whilst studying a Photography course. She was offering a special $50 deal to take family photos with edited high res copies on a CD. I've had photos taken before which were 4 times that price so I kept her in mind to get some family photos later in the year when the twins were able to sit up on their own and when I had lost a bit of weight. However, due to the popularity of her special and also the realisation that it's a steal for all the work she has to do - she announced that her $50 offer was only going to be until the end of April and from May it would go up. Despite not being at my ideal weight, I made a booking for our family photo session which only left me a week and a half to organise our clothes etc. I had envisioned a different colour theme but as I didn't have much time so I just ended up with the black and white theme. On the day of the photo session it was such a rush to get everyone prepared and get to the location at Naragyngi Reserve on time but we made it! After a week of rain, the weather was perfect, the twins and Keira were well behaved (no tears at all) and we all had a fun family photo session. Even Damien, who was a little relunctant at first to pose and get photos - had a great time and realised the importance of having family photos done. The photos turned out wonderful - (even though I am even more determined to get rid of my double chin!) Manatu did a great job for someone who is just starting out. I really wanted photos of the three children but seeing as the twins were still too young and had to be held, there are quite a few photos of us with the children (each individually and together) which I'm really happy with. Manatu also took quite a few of Damo and I which I didn't want initially but looking back at them now, I'm so glad she did as we've hardly have any photos of us together since the children joined our family. Above and below are a few of my favourite photos of our little family. I'm so happy that we were able to finally get some proper, beautiful pictures of our Party of Five - an hour of our lives captured and to be cherished forever. I heart my little family so much!
