This photography session is similar to that of an engagement session, but more so a portrait photo session to show this couples commitment to each other. This happy couple, Kelly and Iri, are actually family (Kelly’s my step sister) and we wanted to do this photo shoot as a gift for Kelly’s mum, Annette, who has recently been diagnosed with Cancer. This is a very hard post for me to write as I’m struck with emotion about my step mum who is having to live through this hideous disease. Kelly followed Iri to Melbourne 4 years ago and will shortly be moving back home to NZ to spend the remaining time that her mum has left, with her. Unfortunately for these two this now means a long distance relationship and lots of hard times ahead, which will definitely take a toll on their relationship, but I’m positive it will only make them stronger as a couple. It’s absolutely devastating news for all of us to have to take on board, but at the same time we are all there to give our love and support and help Annette through this. I didn’t want to make this post too somber as if this has taught us anything, it’s to make the most of life as it really is too short. I wanted to share these images with you as they show Kelly and Iri’s love and happiness together and this is something they wanted to share with their mum. My thoughts are always with Annette and I send my love out to her ♥ xxx.
