A Daddy-Daughter Moment

Originally uploaded by RXAphotos

Today I went to see the Smiths.

Last week Sarah (whilst Julian stood by) delivered Lani Elizabeth into the world and what a precious little bundle she is.

Julian asked me to come and take some photos and I was both honoured and terrified to do so. Honoured because having someone ask you to capture the early years of someones existence is an honour … and terrified because Sarah is a very gifted photographer herself.

The lighting wasn’t ideal but I managed to get some nice photos especially the featured image where I was watching Julian interacting with Lani with nothing less than love in his eyes.

Mate, it was a privilege to have been able to share some pictures with you and hope you like them. I look forward to being able to take many more as little Lani grows up.

I must say that the reaction to this photo on Flickr has been quite astounding. I’m used to getting a couple of comments on most images but seven within the first few hours?? I was very happy with the photograph and thanks to Julian and Sarah, I was allowed to post it on Flickr and my portfolio site.

It was back to the airport last night. Last night Mum flew off to Italy for four weeks leaving David to fend for himself. Before she left I promised Mum i would pop in and make sure he got some fresh air and time away from the computer (like I can comment about that!)

Hope she has a great trip, and thank God the count-down has stopped.
