A celebration of the transition to womanhood – Canberra Portrait Photographer

About a month ago I photographed this beautiful coming of age party for this gorgeous young woman. When her mum contacted me she wanted to do something really special to mark this important transition in her daughter’s life. She wanted this to be a celebration of the people who helped shape her life and an acknowledgment that from now Camilla is starting her journey into womanhood where she will grow her own family and circle of friends. The party was an intimate family lunch with her closest family and friends around her. The people who were not able to make it shared their thoughts about Camilla in letters which were given to her and then read out. One of the gifts she was given was a pearl ring. This I learned has become a family tradition as her mother gave her a pearl ring on her 18th birthday and her mother before that and they think even before that. So they think it might have started with Camilla’s great great grandmother.

This was truly a special moment to be part of. I love jobs like this where there is true connection and heartfelt love. It reaffirms why I chose to do what I do. Thank you. xox
