I spent a few hours yesterday afternoon with the Coles family. Antony and Lauren have just returned to Hobart after living in Queensland since just after Alexander was born. They have not had any family photos taken since Alex was about 5 months old, so it was well and truly time for some new photos!
Alex decided it would be fun to run, and then run, and then run some more. This evolved into a bit of a game of chase with Ant…
Lauren asked me what they should wear, so I suggested everyone should wear similar coloured clothing, but I did not expect the colour palette to extend to toe nails. Needless to say I was impressed!
Mum and Dad were exhausted, but Alex still had plenty of engergy!
I love this little park, the perfect place to sit and eat an ice cream on a hot summer Hobart day. For Antony and Lauren’s Queensland friends, that is our beautiful Mt Wellington in the background.
I think there may have been a dolphin in the water!!
I think this is probably my favourite shot of the day…
Thanks Ant, Lauren and Alex for letting me take your family photos, I had a great time, hope you did too!

These are fantastic. I can’t believe you managed to get so many with our son being so hypo
You are amazing. We will definately be getting some prints. I LOVE the last 2 especially!! We will have to come over and choose some.
And for anybody out there that needs ANY type of photography i highly recommend this wonderful man. He was so patient and fantastic with our mischiefous hyperctive 3yo. We will definately be using his services again.
