Shooting a special campaign with my Beautiful friend, Lacee Froeschl – A Sunday afternoon we spent recently, chasing the sun… xo
The flowers were grown in our home garden and freshly picked ahead of our shoot. It was lovely to have them as part of the shoot. Flowers hold such a special meaning in so many cultures. Baby Breath for instance represent: A symbol of everlasting love, pureness, and innocence. These flowers are formed with delicate white clusters. They are often also used in wedding bouquets. Even though the flowers I’m holding aren’t exactly Baby Breath, they are very similar, and like Baby Breath, come from the native Australian country. Given the special and secret meaning behind this shoot, they are just perfect in every way.
Five years ago this week, my husband and I suffered our second loss. Prior to being blessed with our beautiful boys, we suffered the devastating loss of our two angel babies. It was a very dark time going through the grieving process and still to this day, of course we grieve. Grieve the babies who we never got to meet in person, grieve what could have been. We are however, so very eternally blessed to now be the proud parents of our beautiful boys, Ollie and Oscar. Our angle babies will also, never be forgotten and will always be with us, in our hearts, forever and always. Thinking of you both. Love Mummy. xo
Before and after editing. Thank you so much for sharing the process, Lacee! We just love working with you. You are so passionate about what you do! xo I first met Lacee under a year ago, but I feel like I have known her for years. Lacee and I are 13 years a part in age, but we feel like the same age.
It’s wonderful to have formed a beautiful new friendship and for her to have also been a part of another special project late last year for a charity campaign, called #miscarriagematters with The Pink Elephants Support Network, an Australian based, national foundation helping support women and their families through loss.
I was a part of a national video sharing my story of, “Why miscarriage mattered to me?” I hope to continue to raise awareness on what was once a more taboo topic of talking about the losses which women have experienced. Through my own experience, I have found writing about my experience something, which has really helped me greatly. My therapy so to speak.

Photos taken locally in Rachael’s home suburb. xo Love this pretty time of day with the sun shining through, just right before sunset!
Captured on Sunday, the 19th of May, 2019, in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. Memories to treasure forever, lasting moments.
For the shoot, the finer little details to share with you all: I was wearing a Review Australia pretty dusty pink sparkle dress, complete with my Review signature black cardigan, and a lovely little pretty and colourful floral spring time inspired scarf, as we are currently leading in to the Australian Winter, this was absolutely perfect for this time of year. I also wore some very special jewellery which holds special meaning. My Review pink diamante earrings are so beautiful and girly and make me feel so very feminine when I wear them. I love my new little silver Pandora charm, which I was gifted for Mother’s Day recently, “Beloved Mother”, as well as my gorgeous little angel baby charm bracelet. Something, which I hold dear to my heart. Jewellery to me is so meaningful. Just like flowers, it represents something so very special indeed. It tells a little story. xo <3 3> xo
