Romanticising Home Life | pt. 10

Series Final - moments with my daughter.

Here we are in the new year.
It’s a new everything on all parts for us as we downsized all of our possessions and packed them into a storage shed. Again. We then took just over a week to drive from Victoria to Queensland, visiting my grandparents on a little detour to South Australia. We’ve landed at my mother in laws in Queensland with no real plan, other than to find a way to live a life we value and love, and be able to afford to do it. The last year, well year and a half, have been incredibly difficult for us with our living situations, finances, and the hard time I had with my daughters pregnancy and birth.
But here we have landed, ready for a big and lasting change.

I must admit, it is just as unsettling as it is exciting.
With no map and no crystal ball to guide us.
I just have to trust.

Amazingly we are at part 10 of my Romanticising Homelife Series, and I have one series of photos left. It feels like a fitting time to end.
I’m unsure of when I’ll start another series, but I’ll definitely still be sharing galleries. We’re planning for me to have the space and time to shoot a lot more regularly as I have some projects I’m working on.

This mini series is self portraits taken of me breastfeeding my daughter. I love that it’s a realistic sequence as although feeding a babe can be so beautiful, sweet and tender, their little hand reaching for your chest or cheek, it can also be wild and hard as they arch their back, jump around, and claw at your mouth and pull your hair.

Thank you for following along on my Romanticising Home Life series. It’s so lovely for me to look back on this time with some beautiful photos I may not have otherwise had, and to play around with some different shooting and editing styles along the way. I hope you’ve enjoyed this little glimpse into my life at home over the second half of 2023.
