This day was magic. The sunset couldn't have been more beautiful, and the walk that this family took through the fields as the sun went down felt like the perfect anchor for their family photography session at home in Sydney. As I photographed and filmed this family, I felt overwhelmed with respect and admiration for these parents. The patience they both had, and the connection they shared with their kids was just so incredibly inspiring to me. What I hope these boys see when they watch this film, is that life is good. They will always have each other to lean on. And their parents love them more than anything.

The Shire Family | Melbourne, VIC

Back in November I flew down to Melbourne to film and photograph the family of one of my all time favourite photographers, Amy Shire.

To say I was nervous is an understatement.
