This is our 100th post on our blog! Thank you so much for all of your support everyone :)
We met this family back in 2010 when they were celebrating the birth of their first daughter. It was great to see them again, especially when we found out that they were expecting a new addition! Congratulations!!
Our family was lucky enough to head back to Esperance for another camping trip this year. Once again we spent lots of time relaxing at Wharton Beach :)
As the weather was a unusually cool for a few days, we decided that this year would be the perfect time to climb Frenchman’s Peak at Cape Le Grand National Park. The last time that we did this was before kids – about nine years ago.
Initially we tried to convince some friends to join us with their 15 month old and luckily they declined because as it turns out Frenchman’s Peak is much steeper than we remembered! Both girls were happy to climb up on their own to start but after a while Tristan had to carry Alexis up (as well as all his camera gear) while I was dealing with a backpack and an over-sized belly.
At about 3 flags from the top we decided that we’d come far enough. The wind was picking up and, although the girls were quite happy to keep going, we weren’t! I must admit that it was a relief to climb down again and find a nice flat spot to take some family photos.
One last photo of the girls enjoying sand and the sunshine :)
We love to travel down south and, although the next school holidays may seem like a lifetime away, we thought that we would get in early and announce our Yallingup Session dates: 21st – 26th April 2013. Families relaxing together and beautiful bush and beach locations make for some amazing family photos :)

We had planned on doing our New Year’s post yesterday, but unfortunately our homecoming on New Year’s Eve ended up being a bit crazy due to a rogue piece of reticulation in our front yard, an open window in our bedroom, and 10 days of warm weather. Luckily it is all cleaned up now, although we still need to find some new flooring :)
Looking back 2012 was been a bit of a crazy year for us with Alyssa starting full time school, our first proper camping trip in four years, Tristan turning 30, renovations, and now a new baby on the way. We are so grateful for the support of family, friends, and of course our gorgeous clients.
We have an exciting year ahead with lots of things to look forward to: We’re heading back to Esperance in a couple of weeks, Tristan is doing a fabulous photography workshop as soon as we get back – a Perth one this time which has made Monika very happy :) Lexi is starting Kindy and Alyssa is heading to year One and then in May life will get a little crazy with the arrival of our newest family member. We can’t wait!!
Our family received an origami kit for Christmas and we had a lot of fun creating paper craft while we were away down south. When we asked the girls what sort of photos they wanted on our holiday they wanted to show you all our creations :)
