Oh, so fun! I love this style!
I love both photos, but that first one is perfect! A rock star party was a really good idea…she's rocking it too. Too cute.
Happy Birthday, Gemma! What a cool little rock star!
Rachel, the left one looks like an ad! Awesome shot!

Hello,
I’m a French girl and I’m eighteen, I’ve been following you on flirck and then on your blog for over a year now. I found it out because I was looking for baby twins portraits on Google. I found some of Clover and Kieran and then went on your flirck account to see some of Gemma’s. You have such a wonderful family. Gemma is a really sweet 5 year old girl and sometimes looks wise beyond her age. Clover and Kieran are also two nice babies turning into toddlers… I love you do and think you are a great photographer especially for kids’ photos.
I’ve never sent a message before because I thought it would not meen anything. But I just wanted to say that I enjoy following your daily life photoblogging and see your children grow up.
I’m only 18 and I live in France far from Australia but I appreciate reading what you wrote and watching your amazing photos that are always looking so perfect.
Sorry for my bad English. With lots of encouragements.

I like the way she really stands out against the gray of the clouds in the background.
