As I'm sure my friends & family will attest, I get so wrapped up in finishing my "work photos" that I can take twice as long (or longer...) to get personal & family photos done. But, after slowly whittling away at these, I'm so happy to have had time this long weekend to finish my boyfriends' sisters thirtieth birthday party! How perfectly timed was it that her birthday (almost) fell on the Diner en Blanc in Melbourne, a very cool (& kind of hip) big, posh picnic.

What a joy it was to relocate my "office" to Canberra for a few days and share in my little niece's second birthday celebrations. Her last birthday as the only child, with her new little brother or sister getting ready to meet the world. We captured these very special memories over a couple of days, playing in the park with nan & pop, running a muck at her awesome dino themed birthday party and feeding the ducks at the park.
