Light + Love // M Family

 

The M family.  Crazy laughter, hilarious jokes, golden light, laughter, a spring evening and genuine love.

'Love and light': these words have been echoing in my head for the past few days and honestly, it's because love and light is the reason I photograph - because of the Light that is in the world and the Love which is radiated by humans.  It's fascinating, mesmerising and a tremendous blessing to capture.

On another note, my website family and portrait sessions are a beautiful and timeless gift for family and friends & I'm so so excited to announce that one-of-a-kind gift cards for photo sessions are available now! Head on over to acaciarachel.com to get in touch.

Do you have a favourite photograph from this session?

Hope the rest of your weekend is bold, bright and beautiful!

Much love xxx

Family Session + Announcement!

hugs and loving glances, silliness and lots of laughter

the prettiest of places

the warmest of love

the silliest of silly-faces

the dearest of families 

Outside it was grey and overcast but but this family radiated warm, sunshiny love. The littlest one rested her head on her dad's shoulder then proceeded to make a silly face at him; they laughed together.  There is a tender, proud love in her dad's eyes and a gentle, reassuring love from her mother.  Thanks, R Family, for inviting me to capture a snippet of your story.

:: Announcement :: As well as re-desigining my blog, I've also re-designed my photographic portfolio (certain sections are still being updated)! Have a peek at my 'professional' photography work by visiting my website at acaciarachel.com.  I would like to thank each and every one of you for following my blogging journey -- without you, my website, blog and business wouldn't running the way it is now.  I am constantly inspired by your kind and thoughtful comments and am grateful for the encouragement you shower into my life.   

Do you have a favourite photo from this session?

CHOOSE SIMPLICITY

For most of life, nothing wonderful happens. If you don’t enjoy getting up and working and finishing your work and sitting down to a meal with family or friends, then the chances are that you’re not going to be very happy. If someone bases his happiness or unhappiness on major events like a great new job, huge amounts of money, a flawlessly happy marriage or a trip to Paris, that person isn’t going to be happy much of the time. If, on the other hand, happiness depends on a good breakfast, flowers in the yard, a drink or a nap, then we are more likely to live with quite a bit of happiness.

  Andy Rooney 

To find happiness in quiet, unexpected moments or objects - flowers in the yard, a drink or a nap, a good breakfast.  Living simply.  Living wholly.  Choosing simplicity.

This week I hope you jump into Monday with a refreshed soul, finding happiness in life's simplest movements and moments.

london city

I'm not sure why London was so special.  Maybe it was because of the sound:  the constant hum and murmur of people; trains zooming and high heels clicking on stone; the shuffle of coats and sweet laughter; musicians on the road side; or the sound of birds singing, slowly drowned by the whir of a bus. 

And London's lights - yellow, warm sun and beaming headlights.  London's darkness - but the city lights that twinkle and shine in the midst of it.  London's shops - filled with styles just imported.    

Dear London, I like you.  Your museums are just stellar -- of course your shops and art galleries and architecture and gardens are, too.  You seemed to smile when I visited you.  The sun was so golden and the streets full and moving.  I could go on and on but I must stop.  Traveling life is wonderful, but school life essential.  (I'll go work on that essay.)
