Lola the Butterfly

I grew up taking ballet classes with Lizz, and photographed her amazing wedding to Che on the stage at the City Hall theatre. And for the last few years I have photographed her dance school, In Motion's amazing annual recitals. Last year we decided to do a session at my cottage with their daughter Lola. She was such a saucy little thing - so intense with the most beautiful dark eyes. This time we met at The Botanical Gardens. She is still as precocious as ever, but a little happier to pose for me. She was the loveliest little butterfly and fluttered through the bamboo forest with such grace. Thank you for a wonderful afternoon - Lola was a joy to photograph...
