Today’s photos were taken yesterday morning at Coogee Beach, Sydney. My lovely model for the day is my old friend who is 33 weeks old pregnant. It was a gorgeous day down at the beach, we had such a good time together.

The beach was quite busy when we arrived, but luckily we found a tiny spot that was not so busy as I did not want to include the whole Sydneysider in the background. We should’ve left the house earlier, but it was a bit challenging to ‘mobilise’ one pregnant woman, two young kids, two dogs, and a bunch of adults on a Sunday morning. I tried to get as many shots as possible, but we had to stop over an hour later because the sun was pretty harsh burning right on top of our heads and the model was famished.

Posing for an amateur photographer like me can be a bit tricky, as it takes a bit longer for me to set up, or to adjust this and that before taking the shots. And I imagine it could be challenging as well to stay in a position and keep your cool while ‘the whole beach’ seemed to be watching, so I was really grateful that my friend stayed relax throughout our session. Thanks very much, A dearest and your lovely bump, for being a great model for the day.
