A little bit longer at... Bell's at Killcare for Stephen's 70th Birthday

Central Coast Family Photographer

Celebrating family milestones is such a beautiful way of bringing the extended family together. Stephen and his family traveled from all around the country to celebrate his 70th birthday at Bell’s at Killcare. The family matriarch, Stephen’s mother, lives on the central coast. Unfortunately she is no longer able to travel great distances, so the family traveled to her for this big birthday bash.

Stephen’s daughter reached out to me to capture family photographs during the celebrations. These guys were great sports - they did a whole bunch of formal family portraits, indoors. They had planned on having plenty of time outside, enjoying the beautiful grounds at Bells to capture their family photos. Unfortunately, on the day of the party the weather was miserable. Cold. Wet. Yucky. They braved a few minutes on the outdoor veranda, before retreating to the warmth inside.

Stephen’s grandson is a talented pianist, however he does not usually perform in public. At his grandfathers request, he performed a rousing set that had toes tapping and big smiles on faces. The younger cousins wanted to join in the fun, but they haven’t quite yet perfected their performance skills.
