Sometimes the princess sticks up her middle finger and screams “I don’t want to be saved”.

Sometimes the dragon refuses to breathe fire and picks up his guitar to strum and sing sweet Elvis songs.

Sometimes the evil witch makes delicious pancakes for charity stalls and tops them with fresh cream and her own homegrown strawberries.

Sometimes the monster doesn’t want to be under the bed and instead cuddles up to the sleeping boy.

Sometimes the villain longs to take walks on the beach at sunset, holding hands with somebody who loves him and the alien wants to stay in their pyjamas, watching YouTube in bed on their own planet.

Sometimes the hero trips over his own boot laces and cries out “I want my Mum”.

Sometimes we should not define people - they may have been penned a “notorious villain”, but their hearts are incredibly tender.

Sometimes we should remember that just because we have been told someone is a certain way, does not make it true.

What did Mrs Claus say to Santa as she looked up at the sky?
"Looks like rain, dear" 😉

"Sweeter than candy canes dipped in sugar", is how Santa described the three Francis sisters when they visited Santa's farm, now looking at these pics I think you'd agree - straight to the good list they go.

What's Santa's favourite music?
Wrap of course!

When the Landy family visited Santa's farm last week, they promised Santa home made biscuits and fresh squeezed milk on December 24!

We are having so much fun at Santa's Farm!

On Friday the Francis Family visited Santa's Farm - we found magic in skipping races and jolly Santa jokes.

While editing this session I came across this Leonard Cohen quote ("Ring the bells that still can ring, forget your perfect offering, there is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in"). The timing will never seem right to take the photos, if you look for cracks you will always find them, but there is always magic to be found - those cracks are it.

There is still time to book your Santa session, scroll down a little and click the link to the booking page.

Dear Santa,
Guess what, I'm headed your way!
To your McKenzie Road farm for a photo-filled day,
Make your beard extra fluffy - polish up that old ute,
We'll make some Christmas magic - it's going to be beaut!

Fire up the barbie - keep the kettle hot!
I'll meet your crew under the pines - at your favourite spot!

The REAL DEAL Santa is coming to Echuca town.

Yes, you’ve heard that right - this Santa is the REAL DEAL, no pillow stuffed under his jacket, this belly is 100% genuine and all thanks to many years of ginger bread tasting and Sunday roasts. His beard shampooed and combed daily by Mrs Claus is as authentic as Paul Kelly's gravy and a true sight to be seen.

Three tubes of paint and a couple of cockatoo feathers and I’m swinging from the tree tops without even leaving my living room.

One of my most loved quotes and a good reason why you should take the photos, unfortunately we are not doing this life twice, so snap away people, I guarantee your best memories were never taken by a professional photographer.
“Things are continually vanishing and when they have vanished there is no contrivance on earth which can make them come back again.”
― Henri Cartier-Bresson
