I don’t normally photograph families but if you are good friends with Christine Pobke (ridiculous family photographer) and she tells you to photograph her family, well… with trembling knee’s, you obey. It all began at 6:30 am on a Saturday morning in canberra, starting off at an abandoned cricket pitch, finishing off a few hours later in the backyard of the Pobke’s family home. Christine, Clinton and litte Pippa, thank you for ordering me to document this stage of your amazing journey together

(20% discount off all prints if you book me for Pippa’s 1st birthday party) x
