Honestly, being a mum is the only thing I was ever 100% sure of growing up.

I never thought about a career. I didn’t care about what I did, because I knew it wouldn’t ever be my purpose. And over the past few years I’ve definitely had moments where I’ve gotten caught up in the worlds expectation of what I should be doing - working, hustling, finding my identity in my work - but it’s never been right.

This is where I was always supposed to be. With you two. My loves.

A feeling I have never shaken, is that while a lot of mums can find motherhood isolating, and sure there have been seasons where it has felt that way, as a whole, I have never felt less alone.
Getting to explore, to LIVE and adventure through life with 2 little people that I literally created in my body, like how is there ever going to be a greater gift than that?

I love that 90% of their memories, and mine, are shared with each other. That their childhood will be remembered being spent with their mum and actually LOVING it.

It isn’t what I feel I ‘have’ to do, but I deeply ‘want’ to.

They’ll get sick of me one day I’m sure. But this. Man, this is everything I have ever dreamed of.

Spent 36 hours (roughly!!??) with me - travelling down to Moruya Heads for a wedding for a very special couple 🥹👰🏽‍♀️

Safe to say I was WRECKED the following day. No idea how people do these weekly or multiple times a week. But so grateful I got to be apart of this beautiful day!

One of the biggest worries parents have before, during, and even after a session is how their kids will behave.

They want them to sit still, smile on cue, and be “good.”
And I get it, I’m a parent too.

But this isn’t what I want for you.

Trying to control your child’s behaviour usually leaves everyone feeling overwhelmed, you included.

Instead, I want you to enjoy this. All of you.
Yes, even your partners.

Run with them. Laugh with them. Kiss your husband. Kick a ball around.
Do the things that feel natural for your family.

If that looks like baking together or sitting down to do a puzzle, I’m all for it.

Because the truth is when you chase perfection, you often end up remembering the pressure.

But when you let go, you remember the joy, the connection, the love.

That’s what I want you to feel when you look back at your photos

Have definitely had moments along the way where I lost sight of the simple fact that this is everything I have ever dreamed of - THEY are everything I have ever dreamed of.
