imene - she is indeed something to be smiling for. Beautiful little girl and lovely relationship!

Josh - These are gorgeous Toni!

katie - Maggie is such a darling… (i sound old i know!) but she is. these are really interesting shots with great expressions the colours are really interesting too. the second last shot is so raw… x

michelle - Firstly, stylish minimalistic new blog layout Toni. These portraits are certainly all Maggie. An authentic document of her at this age and stage,and as stricking as No1 is, I just keep going back to No3, the perspective, her expression, a really strong composition.

Kristy Mc Court - So glad you found that wall! Love you Maggie Moo x

Monika Eisenbart - I love those candid moments. First image is just killing me. She is so mysterious and I know you wanted to captured something like this and OMG you did!!!!! I love the last two pictures. Simple and beautiful.

Jamie - She is simply adorable!!

Rhonda - #1 and 3 – sigh. And the series of 4 in the middle – she’s just a perfect wee brunette bundle. I just adore her expressions. ox

Leanne Brischetto - Ahhhhh such beautiful moments captured Toni! You have such a gift x

Luisa Brimble - eeeeeeeeeeeesssssssshhhhhhhhh toni this is your little baby???? eeeeekkkkk she’s so cutezzzz!!!!!! shot in film?

8 NEARLY 9

9 years old is approaching her fast.

The day will come when she will want to paint those perfect lips with colour and coat those perfect lashes in black.

I’m not ready for it.

IN OUR HOUSE

Some days I just itch to hold my camera and shoot.

If I’m having a bad day it will always make me feel better.

This day I didn’t care for perfection or imperfection for that matter.

I just wanted to shoot what was going on right under my nose.

michelle maclachlan wallace - The colours and tone are summer perfect, what stunning memory creation. The styling in the shots taken by the house, demonstrate how good you are. Cant stop going back to Bella looking out to see in red bathers….iconic. Also first photo of Bella on the board, just love it…she looks so happy and in the moment. congrat’s Toni.

DawnD - I agree with Val, that last bw takes my breath away! I love the feel of these, Toni. I have never shot film, but looking at these it even stirs something in me….so I congratulate you for taking this risk and starting this journey…and for sharing with us here.

sharmilla brown - Wonderful photos Toni! They totally capture the lovely ease of summer. It’s -30c here and blowing snow, so thanks for transporting me to warmer days for a minute or two. Love the locations, and honestly, I’d love to steal that mint green camper van! It is retro perfection!

stacey - Lovely, lovely. So fantastic! All of the colors in these photographs are beautiful. Everything looks so coordinated. Love the ones with the van…actually the last three are so breath-taking. Looks like it was a fantastic time for all!!!

Samantha - What a childhood summer in Australia should look like! Absolutely beautiful.

Val Spring - Oh Toni, these are fantastic! I can tell that film has your heart and you are rocking it! Love every single one of these but that very last bw takes the cake, such a piece of art. Oh and that aqua vw bus is my dream ride. LOVE what you are doing!

maureen haynes - I love this photo journal style of photography, very real, very natural, love the colours and textures, its awesome I also love that soft b&w process love love love x

Monika Eisenbart - WoW!!!! Amazing Toni. So many beautiful images, I don’t even know where to start. I love kinda of relax feel coming from those pictures. I can see wind in their hair, smell the sand and feel those hot summer days. One of my favorite images is the one where Isabella stands under some kind of big tree with her back facing the camera. Love the pink glasses, eating ice-cream, Bella on the surfing board and Maggie smiling. Beautiful job my friend!!! How I miss summer!!!!

Jamie C - Toni~These photos are just breathtaking!! You are rocking that film! Now I am wishing for summer
