portrait: us, by Tim Coulson
To have someone bear witness to your life and capture it with such honesty is something I hold in high regard. It’s a gift, really, to have these images, of this time in our lives when we are constantly thinking about the imminent change ahead of us. The biggest change in Che’s life so far. Life changing days captured in precious moments.
Tim is a gifted photographer. His composition is astounding, his ability to engage in meaningful conversation while casually snapping a few photos is admirable. With Daniel he spoke ‘camera’, with Che is talked ‘lego’ and with me he, naturally, discussed ‘babies’.
These photos are a few of my favourites. There’s plenty more over at Tim’s blog – a collection that tells the story of our morning. The story of most mornings around here.
And if you really want to look at a plethora of photos of us…make a cup of tea, sit back and enjoy the tunes while watching this.
Tim…we can’t thank you enough. And it goes without saying that we can’t wait for the sequel. Where 3.5 will be 4. So soon.
