Family Fun and Connection in Focus: A Vibrant Sea Side Photography Adventure at the Stunning Sunshine Coast’s Kawana Beach

Hello, wonderful readers! I'm so excited to share a little peek into one of the loveliest families I've ever had the joy to photograph. Meet Chris, Tish, and their two incredible daughters, who recently took me on a beautiful journey through their laughter-filled life. Picture this: a Father’s Day sing-a-long, battle of the generations, with "Break My Stride" as the anthem echoing through the team as the whole family belted out the lyrics while cruising through the Sunshine Coast. It was a moment that perfectly captures the joy and connection this family shares.

What makes this family extra special is their tradition of "Yep’tember" and "No’vember." During "Yep’tember," they embrace all things positive—saying yes to eating healthier, spending more quality time together, and volunteering. Then comes "No’vember," where they get to say no to things they could do without—like Chris bravely cutting out trips to their local bakery! It shows just how supportive they are of each other, holding one another accountable in the most fun way possible.

Their weekends are full of simple pleasures. Sundays are all about slowing down and appreciating the weekend—sleep-ins for the kids while Chris and Tish enjoy beach walks with their dog and a nice coffee. It’s so clear how much they value spending time as a family, whether they’re at home having a Marvel movie night or out in Montville, experiencing everything from handmade chocolates to admiring a thousand clocks they never plan to buy.

One of the family’s cherished memories is sitting on a hill at sunset at Cabarita Beach. "Just being and having worth because we exist," they said. It’s moments like these that they hope their kids will remember—overflowing with love, laughter, and a deep sense of togetherness. Chris and Tish have always wanted their children to remember how loved they were and to recall the safe haven their parents created for them.

Both daughters have a wonderful sense of humour, and their sassy banter keeps everyone in stitches. The family's fantastic dynamic truly comes out when they support each other and embark on adventures together, like when the girls showed exceptional kindness during a family holiday in Melbourne by helping the homeless.

Their current stage of life is watching the girls grow more independent, seeing them make choices, and discovering who they really are—alongside their shared love for Sanrio, chocolate, and fashion. Amidst the chaos and the "bruh!" moments, both parents are filled with pride. They love how they can relax and enjoy these years while witnessing how their daughters are blooming.
