Some decisions are made quickly, without hesitation. Some things just feel right. When I spoke with Kate about photographing her family, the week before their relocation back to the UK, it was one of those moments where the schedule may say no, but the heart says YES! I couldn’t resist.
That morning I knocked on the door, I listened, to hear the scamper of little feet and ever so slightly the door clicked open, beautiful blue eyes peaked around the corner, Thomas, announces, ‘Kate’s here,’ pause, more scampering, a moment later Kate appears with Isabelle wrapped around her hip.
The warm welcome of their home was nurturing like a wintery snuggle. The remnants of coffee and breakfast, the trinkets of sticker books, fairy wings, bubbles & climbing tubes, the imaginative place of trains and space ships ~ let the magic begin.
I adore the last two images, the hint of the physical; the stripe of colour, adequately describing and sharing the joy of this moment ~ somewhere in that space of childhood stillness and urgency.
I wish the Farr family all the best for their travels and feel so blessed that a little bit of my art will adorn you walls on the other side of the globe, and that your photos will always be a reminder of your time in Aussie land. x
