A Visit to the Country - Part II | Sarah Moore - Hills District Portrait Photographer

My kids love photography as much as I do. Each of them had a camera to use while we were away and these are some of the images from their perspective!

Mornings were frosty, but it gave us SO many fabulous photographic opportunities. This one was taken by Zoe getting down really low and shooting straight into the light across frosted grass.

Mum has the most gorgeous big healthy chooks and Ty loved them to bits :) This is his photo of them. 

I love watching the way that my children photograph. Ty took this shot below. He started above the bolt, but once looking at the image he moved into the position that Zoe captured him in below. Which resulted in this fabulous shot with amazing depth of field. He has had no prompting from me with his photography, I just love how his creative mind works.

Zoe photographing Ty - photographing Zoe.

Some images by the kids from our visit to the farm.

Check out the amazing perspective on this shot of a rock by Ty!! 

LOVE this photo of Zoe by Ty - composition, flare, light, colour!

A visit to the Haunted House resulted in some more gorgeous images by Zoe .

And finally Ty is always a willing subject for photos! These were taken by Zoe in the park across from the house that I was born in. 

A Visit to the Country - Part I | Sarah Moore - Hills District Portrait Photographer

I grew up in the country in a small town called Cootamundra. I have some of the fondest, most amazing memories from my childhood, and every time I drive back, every time I leave the city and get closer to the country, something inside me eases.

My mother, after years of living in the city has followed her heart and move back to her roots. She also grew up in the country and it is so wonderful to see her back where she belongs.

This is her new little house in the tiny town on the outskirts of Cootamundra called Stockinbingal.




Ty, Zoe and I spent a week with Mum and we had loads of adventures, visiting places from my childhood and experiencing life on a small farm.

We visited my Grandmother who I haven't seen in a very long time.

Experienced amazing sunsets - there is nothing like a clear, crisp night with only sheep bleating for company.

Visited a Haunted House - where there was a set of stables with THE most incredible light.

 

When I was young I had a friend called Sophie, she and I were inseparable. We spent our childhood exploring and helping on her large working farm, and laying in this gorgeous tree telling tales and dreaming. This beautiful Moreton Bay Fig was 100 years old last year. It is one of those memories from my childhood that tugs at my heart and to see it again in all its majestic glory was amazing.

We came across this beautiful lady whilst driving around the outskirts of town. Isn't she gorgeous?

And Ty adored exploring and playing on the farm.
