Yes they do :)

This might be inappropriate for me to write but when friends are gone, lovers leave you or your job goes down the dumps, family will still be there. Some may say they’ll be there for they have no choice, but I truly believe that however dysfunctional you may think your family is, we’re all bound together by love. Seriously.

So it was with pleasure that I recently met up with a few families to shoot their family portrait session. As each family shared some of their time with me, my heart filled with gratitude that so many people have opened up their doors and welcomed me with open arms to capture a small part of their lives.

I recently said to my brother that I felt so lucky at this point of my life, to be doing what I am absolutely passionate about, that sometimes I’m afraid my luck will run out and one day I won’t be doing this anymore. For now, I’m embracing and enjoying this part of my life as much as I can and it is with utmost gratitude that I would like to personally thank each and every family whom I’ve shot not only recently, but since I’ve started my career.

Thank you :) Oh and please excuse the sappiness. I get a bit emo whenever I’m editing pictures like these and I start imagining what the kids will feel when they see these shots 15 years down the road ;p It’s either that or it’s the time of the month. Hur hur hur ;p

Much Love.

ZOMG.

My workouts have been SOOOO sporadic for the month of February that a gazillion (I KID YOU NOT!) friends and acquaintances have gone “Hey Anna, you look like you’ve lost weight”, “Hey your biceps are smaller”, “Ooo, you look more like a girl now”. Like WTF?!?

The first few times that happened, I ran home and (felt like :p) cried myself to sleep while doing bicep curls. It was THE ultimate insult – its like telling James Nachtwey that his emotional work in wartorn countries is childsplay, telling Anna Wintour that her magazine sucks balls, claiming that James Cameron’s Avatar is not epic. At all.

Then it occurred to me. I’ll claim this as my off season. When I’m too busy with work to workout, like bodybuilders who have months where they let their body rest, I’ll use this time to recuperate (from working out).

So for the next person who goes, “Anna, your muscles shrank??”, I’ll just say “Oh, its my off-season” (and inside my head I’ll be saying “WAIT TILL I MAKE A COMEBACK BUSTER!!”).

Now please excuse me while I go visit the crepe lady in Freo before continuing my editing work. Nom nommm.
