This was the third family group I photographed on the Portfolio Building Day at The Spit in Southport.

This is the lovely Simone and one of her gorgeous little boys. Simone was a part of our group for the Inspireme workshop. It was great to meet her and leave at the end of the four days as friends. It was also great that her family was able to come along to the portfolio building day to model for us.

By this stage of the afternoon, the light was fading and Simone’s family were not far off leaving – but when I saw these two mucking around – I couldn’t help but take a few shots. I just love the interaction between them!

This was the second family I photographed on the Portfolio Building Day at The Spit in Southport.

By this stage of the afternoon, the sun was getting closer to setting – so the sun haze and light was just beautiful. Combine this with a gorgeous family and a gorgeous location … what more is there to say!

“A family is a little world created by love”.

After we left Beenleigh Historical Village, we headed to ‘The Spit’ at Southport. We were met there by many gorgeous families – again who were all ready, willing and able to model for us.

I will blog each of the families I photographed separately. I started with this gorgeous Mummy and beautiful twin little girls. The long grass  and the light was just gorgeous. I think I literally could have stayed there photographing the interaction between them for hours and hours.

After we left the Wild Spirit Photography’s studio – we headed to Beenleigh Historical Village. This place was amazing … a photographer’s dream! There was all sorts of lovely rich colours, props and textures – but most importantly,  some gorgeous kids that were ready, willing and able to model for us.

One of the things I will take away from this workshop is the difference styled clothing options can make to the end result. A hat, a scarf, layers … they really can make a difference.

Just a little warning – there are quite a few photographs in this post … about 20 all up I think :)

A big thank you to all of the kids that came along to model for us, and to the parents for making the effort. We really appreciated it.
