Pip + Ben || Townsville Maternity
“Is there any greater miracle
in this mirage of life
than that of the creation
of precious life within
what magic
could spark a beating heart
lungs that respire
a new consciousness
there inside the womb
life giver
what power you harbour
within your walls
do you really need
anything more
to believe in something
greater
connecting us all
breathing together
growing together
this is the greatest
proof of magic
in our world”
I wish you could all have the pleasure of meeting Pip and Ben, I had the most incredible time with these delightful and loveable parents to be. One thing is certain (other than the fact these pictures will speak much more eloquently than my words) this baby will be cherished and loved, it is desired and eagerly awaited.
After meeting in high school and then spending the last 15 years adventuring together this pair decided to begin a new chapter of their lives and give their worshipped pooch a friend. Then Covid-19 hit and as they witnessed the chaos the world tumbled into, Pip and Ben agreed that maybe this was not the best time to create new life, however, as fate would have it this baby had already chosen them. So here we are, 30 weeks later and into their most memorable year to date.
Alligator Creek is a spot where these two often come, which of course made it the perfect location. It was early morning and a little brisk (especially the water) but without hesitation the both were more then eager to get wet. Some of us committed to the swimming a little more than others but I’m sure you will agree that nature and water in all it’s rawness as perfect to celebrate new life.
This session, these images and this couple are poetry. They are music and dancing. They are spirit and magic. I was merely a witness and I can’t even express how I truely feel about that.

To Pip + Ben
Thank you for choosing me. I believe these pictures captured this turning point in your life beautifully and I am grateful for that trust. You will both be wonderful parents, without any doubt.
You will feel you are failing, you won’t be. You will question your ever move, there is no need to. You were born for this. I wish you every blessing and a whole lot of love but also knowing that this person picked the right parents.
