I first met Mel a few months ago when she attended a Love Your Camera workshop in Adelaide. Afterwards she mentioned she would love to have family photos done with me next time I was in town. In all the goodbyes, I remembered our tight hug. When the opportunity arose for models in Adelaide, Mel contacted me, and I’m so glad she did. In the short time we had together, these special parents demonstrated so many elements that contribute to a loving family – kindness, patience and gratitude. xo
