Every now and again I get some really cool ideas that keep me up at night, I decided I wanted to take a photo to celebrate 100 years of ANZAC. I wanted to try and get a special photo with a defence baby and incorporate the 100 years theme some how and also poppies. I had to keep it gender neutral. So many nights later, laying their thinking about what I wanted I decided! Then there was the mad rush around to find 100 poppies! Turns out you can get them off eBay- phew!
I had a few defence families who had recently had their maternity sessions so I just played the waiting game on who would have their bubs around ANZAC Day 🙂 As luck had it Zachary decided to make ANZAC day the day of his birth! Luckily nice and early before dad went off to dawn service and the city march!
I’m very happy with how it turned out, even if the flowers didn’t arrive in time! (That’s what photoshop is for 🙂 )
Big thanks to his mum for letting me borrow him for this photo
