Against All Odds
Never say NEVER – NO means GO!! My last Adelaide photo session was with Richelle her husband James and their VERY special 14 month old twins Evelyn Jean and Joseph Donald…and Minion their dog! When I heard about Richelle’s amazing story I was so excited to meet this amazing mum and her husband James and twins. Richelle has not one but two medical conditions ‘Stiff Person Syndrome‘ and ‘Dopha Responsive Dystonia‘ and against all odds of being told she could never have children or carry to full term, Richelle wouldn’t take no for an answer…not only did she fall pregnant but with twins and to almost full term, 34 weeks and 2 days (6 weeks premie) no complications AND to her credit she even managed to have them naturally. Never say NEVER – NO means GO!! Richelle you are an...

Parents Leigh and Andrew had enquired about participating in A World of Twins book series Volume 3 back in May last year. Due to a few personal other commitments had to postpone. You can image how excited I was when Leigh contacted me in April this year to say that she would would love their twins and family to be a part of Volume 4. When I rocked up at their family home in Tweed Heads I was greeted by two cute little faces peering through the curtain in the lounge room. The little faces belong to adorable 3 year old identical twins Aria Janet and Kalani Ann. At the door bouncing around like he had ants in his pants with such excitement was their big brother Kai Trevor. I was given the grand tour of their home,...
Read MoreDouble Delight – Groch Family
WOW I thought one set of twins or triplets made me work hard, UNTIL…I met the Groch family from Gowler East in South Australia. Sarah and Andrew are one of the many SUPER parents who have not one set of twins but two sets of twins, taking the twin dynamics to a whole new level! Sarah and Andrew’s first set of twins born were Brooklyn and Jordan who are 6 years and then along came Grace and Anthony who recently turned 3 years. So how awesome is that…to be parents of 2 sets of twins…simply amazing! As you could imagine their house is very busy and I couldn’t help but notice in their kitchen one whole wall decorated with their children’s artwork, awards and certificates of achievements – I could feel the children’s excitement and the parents pride when...
Read MoreAyva & Zachary
I had the pleasure of meeting Kylie and her two gorgeous 7 year old fraternal twins Ayva Marree and Zachary Ryan (Zach) on my recent Adelaide twins trip. I received a warm welcome and a little apprehension at first, quiet natural when a complete stranger enters their home. After being shown around their home they started to warm up to the idea. On reflection, looking back through the photos while processing them Zach was actually quiet the camera flirt…he made contact and interacted with me and the camera, even when I thought he wasn’t paying attention or looking I always got that subtle look acknowledging he was present! We started warming up with a few shots in their bedroom. Photo 1: Love this one, caught them interacting and being themselves with their favourite toy perched beside each of them....
