Luke and Jess are the sweetest couple. Hands down. The minute I walked into to their gorgeous Barwon Heads home, I was welcomed like a old friend. After being introduced to the newest member of the family, sweet little Bohdi, talk quickly turned to the story of how they met and Luke’s epic proposal.

While taking this image she casually told me, “We call this the love cafe'“ and pointed to the hand drawn sign etched on the wall next to the door. I thought it was the sweetest name, embodying everything that is a cubby. A place where happy memories are made and adventures start, a space that transforms into whatever you want, a cafe, a post office, a house to play ‘Mums and Dads’.

After 70 years in the same family, this beautiful home was about to be sold. Despite the almost empty state, the house was full of character and evidence of a family who had enjoyed the house for generations. It was very special to be able to document this house as it transitioned from one family to another, empty but full of memories and potential.

I’m sure we can all resonate with how quickly childhood flies by. The eldest child of this family was about to start high school. In that land of limbo of still playing Lego with his brothers but teenager years on the horizon. His parents wanted to capture this innocent time before things change.

Weekends are precious in this household.  With running two family businesses and two small children weekdays are busy. With their weekend session booked in this family wanted to capture all the things they love doing as a family.
