A favourite of my two sweethearts
It’s not very often that I get an opportunity to photograph them both together, as they’re often busy doing their own things! It’s becoming more and more apparent to me that they’re picking out their own hobbies and favourite things, where they used to seem to enjoy doing the same stuff.
He is fast becoming a sports addict! I was watching him play footy in the backyard the other day, and I couldn’t help but chuckle when he encouraged his sister to “hug my back” (he was trying to get her to tackle him, AFL style!). She on the other hand was all “Why?!”. He explained to her gently that it was “how you play football”, he then quickly passed her the ball and laid a hearty tackle on her as an example. She of course was horrified!! Needless to say, she’s not that “into” footy now!
She would much rather play “Mummies”, and will plead with him “please play with me and be the Daddy”. He generally runs away and looks for his football!
This one has her with her hair curled, she loves me to do it for her on special occasions (actually she’d love me to do it all the time, but I’ve put my foot down!). I’m becoming quite adept with my hair straightener - who knew it could make such sweet wavy curls!!
