A backyard family film with two babies on the way, with Sydney Photographer Courtney Holmes

My favourite parts of this film were the spray bottle on the trampoline, the gentle way Sarah would hold her children and play with their hair. The airplane rides on their Daddy’s feet (who also happens to be a pilot which makes this game extra special in my eyes). The tree swing and the game Daddy would play, playfully telling them to go away as they came back to him. Seeing Mum heavily pregnant with twins, and still carrying her youngest in her arms, providing patience and support even though she’s probably tired and exhausted. Sarah and Nick are inspirational parents to be around and I’m truly honoured each time I go to their house.

Three under five and a home full of love, with family filmmaker Courtney Holmes

When I first met Miriam and her husband during a Zoom call earlier this year, I knew I was going to fall in love with their family. These parents.... Oh my goodness. The love and patience they have for their children was so inspiring to witness - but even more so was the strength and bond of their marriage that I got to witness. It’s not overly obvious, it’s humble and kind. It’s a strength that comes from long days with three tiny children, from staying kind, and from being patient with each other. I could see tiny moments of their bond in between the chaos of three children and it made my heart feel so full for these girls that have such a beautiful home and life full of love thanks to their parents. This is what I wanted to show them in the film. The way their parents love them, but also the way they love each other. ❤️
