{Shhhhh...it's a surprise!}

Today I met up with 2 families who had a great idea of doing a photo shoot as a gift to the grandparents so they could update their 1980's "studio portrait" that is currently sitting pride of place up on their wall.
(Come on, who else has parents who just simply can't take down that very dated, awkwardly staged portrait photo from the 70's or 80's because it was a 'nice' photo in it's day???)
So we decided to go for a very natural setting for something totally different from the studio style, family portrait of the past and went to my favourite park along the River Torrens.
Photographing littlies is always a bit of a challenge and today was no exception, only this time I had 18 month old twins to chase around! (Come to think of it, that's the 2nd set of twin boys in a row this year)!
Despite all of our best efforts, I just couldn't get that one perfect photo with all 5 children facing the same way at the same time, but as I've learnt as a child photographer, sometimes you just have to roll with the punches and allow their personalities to shine, by capturing them on the go, doing what makes them happy.
These are a few of my favourite portraits from today, I hope you enjoy your sneak peek!
