My Pot of Gold- The Sunflowers- Brisbane Maternity Photographer

After driving for many hours alone that day, when my gorgeous friend finally pointed out the golden stretch to me below the hill I could have squealed with delight. Luckily she kept me grounded. Anyone who knows me, knows that sunflowers are one of my absolute favourite things.

We then spent the next hour swatting flies, shielding ourselves from the harsh afternoon sun, losing our belongings in rows upon rows of tall flowers that all looked exactly the same (funny that) and trying not to giggle ourselves silly. All while being tooted at and waved at by all the passers by.

What a wonderful afternoon, and I am so glad I got to share it with this lovely girl, welcoming her third gorgeous child into the world in early 2014.

Whatever your dream is in 2014. Whether it's finding your own field of sunflowers or something a touch more ordinary, I hope with the help of your friends and family and with your own determination, you can find it.

Thank you for all your wonderful support this year.

His giggles and cheeky grin were infectious. He had so much fun. Skimming stones, running in the afternoon sun, dodging scotch thistles, climbing trees, and hanging with his Dad.

This type of photography makes my heart sing.
