Family Session | Elkington Park, Balmain

Saturday's weather in Sydney was shocking, just awful, and I was devastated to think that I was not going to able to go ahead with this gorgeous family's shoot.  The deciding factor to push ahead and hope for the best was Silvia's text message to me saying that she was "having such an unusually good hair day, too!"  Girls, you know that this is not the day to pass up a photoshoot all because of a little bit of wind and rain!

Elkington Park in Balmain is a lovely harbourside spot and has the added bonus of a beautifully constructed rotunda at its centre which is ideal for rainy days.  It also has the most amazing native figs which serve as a lovely backdrop and alternative shelter.  Thankfully about 15 minutes into our session, the rain clouds parted and we were able to proceed without any worries of my beloved Canon (or the unusually good hair) getting a soaking.

To quote Silvia (again), "they are just not a photogenic family"...say what??!!  The evidence to the contrary is right here - a beautiful family, so loving and generous with their affection and smiles.  It was my sincere pleasure to have held this session with you and I very much hope to see you all again soon.

Thank You - Chris, Silvia and Layla xx
