i love everything about shooting fashion stories for magazines…  coming up with a concept, choosing the location and the talent, all the super cute outfits…  mostly i love the collaboration between myself and other creatives and seeing it all come together, the final product…

if you havent seen the magazine, be sure to go get yourself a copy! its a huge issue, filled with inspiring parties, gorgeous kids rooms and lots of beautiful images!

there were so many images i loved…  8 pages is just never enough so here are a few more!

actually, im going to share the photos over two blog posts so this is part 1 of 2…  more to come tomorrow!  bye for now, rowe xxx

when i met nicola and tim, i was excited…  it was really lovely to shoot some ‘big’ kids for a change!  i loved just chatting with them and finding out what they like and a little about who they are.

thanks graham and kris for having me shoot your family.  it was really nice to meet you all and especially good to take photos so close to home!  rowe x

it was great to shoot these sisters…  to see them so different in age, but still with such a connection and so much sisterly love was super sweet!  how gorgeous are they?

i often get asked when ill have another baby and to be honest, im really not sure?  the answer changes from week to week.  last week we decided no more babies.  one lovely gorgeous girl is enough.  i feel like the gap is just too big…  we have waited too long and life is so easy now that i cant imagine going back to sleepless nights and a child who needs so much of me.

so last week audrey lu was destined to be an only child…  then i shoot two darling girls like this and think a big gap is perfectly ok. maybe a gap like this is just lovely!

danny asked yesterday if he could ebay all the baby stuff im hoarding and to his surprise, i answered ‘not just yet’ with a slight smile!  this week, im not so sure im done with babies but im sure i feel differently next time someone asks!  rowe x

a few days ago we made a quick trip to sydney to say farewell to some really dear friends…  our friends are moving back to the uk and im really not sure when we will see them again.  nz i could cope with but the uk seems so far away!

we drove to their house from the gold coast for our last special afternoon together.  the kids (and the mummas!) gossiped and giggled and then we headed to chinta ria for  dinner.  on a side not…  they do the yummiest asian food.  the atmosphere is great for families with a constant hum of chatter so you never have to worry about the kids disturbing others!  the food is served promptly which is another plus if your heading out for a meal with children.  we all know how horrid it is to have the food take forever to arrive and then when it finally does the kids are over it so you eat as quick as you can, in record time, then you leave feeling nauseous and wondering what you were thinking taking your spirited child to a restaurant!

sorry…  i got a bit sidetracked there with all the excitement about the yummy food…  can you tell i really miss all my fave places to eat in sydney?

anyway, it was a really sad day…  when we said goodbye in the carpark i felt really teary.  when we drove off audrey lu yelled “ted” and then “archie” – that kind of ear piercing scream – with her hand stretched out the window as far as she could reach like she was trying to hold onto them.  she sat quietly for a few minutes, looking terribly sad and then just said “i want ted” in the sweetest softest voice.  ted is really the first best friend she has ever had who wasnt a girl and happened to be a boy.  she never really liked boys till she met ted…  ted and audrey talk all the time about getting married when they grow up.  they love each other!

so it is with a heavy heart we say farewell for now…  our friendship is one i will miss dearly…  we said goodbye only a few days ago and we miss you all already!
