It was Dave's birthday on the weekend! It wasn't a big round number but I felt strongly about celebrating this one.

Before we knew it we had our bags packed again... Off to the Southern Highlands this time, me working on a wonderful wedding, Dave & Faye tagging along, as usual, being real champs!
We were lucky that Tulip Time, the annual Spring Festival was on during our stay.
Okay, let's get the facts straight. It was the coldest, windiest, the almost iciest day that we have seen in Sydney this Winter, yet we had planned to join into a vegan picnic organised by the Sydney Vegan Club.

We got married!
It feels like a little while ago and at the same time as if it all happened just yesterday.
It truly was the most magical special day.
We were still buzzing days after and well into our honeymoon.
While we were on holidays exploring Scandinavia (part 3 is to follow soon!) our little man Dalston, had a staycation at home. We missed him all the time but it was good to know he was in best company. Our amazing friend and talented photographer Julianna aka J.K.Blackwell helped looking after him.
I love my job so much! I just had the chance to travel to Bali to work on a destination wedding.
I packed Dave into my suitcase and we added a few days onto the trip.
We were in luck when wedding photographer Jo Bartholomew, who also flew in from Sydney was up to take some shots of us!
I love her work. So this is the story of how we somehow ended up having a spontaneous engagement shoot, that we would have never planned to do. I am SO glad we did.
One very windy and cool Sunday afternoon, we met up with super-star pet photographer and friend Julianna from twoguineapigs to celebrate Dalston's first Birthday.
We had to leave cake and candles behind but the weather still allowed us to wear our party hats.

I have been tossing up if I wanted to share Faye's birth story with the world or to keep it private.
It's her story too, after all...
But then I remembered how much I had been empowered & inspired by all the positive birth stories that other women had shared. Sharing these stories feels very important to me, especially since there are always so many horror stories being told about birth.
One word upfront: I wrote this story down when it was all very fresh. Lying in bed, typing it with one hand on my phone. It has not been edited nor been creatively written. It just the words as they came to me at the time. Real and raw...
