So we decided that I needed to take myself on a little holiday before the next baby arrives.  It had to be a weekend only and nothing too far away – heading south was too cold, so I decided that Brisbane would be it!  I had a few mum friends up there that I only knew online so far and was looking forward to getting to meet at least some of them, as well a friend I had previously worked with that recently moved up there.  So it was always going to be a busy weekend.

I managed to arrange a few shoots (most of which ended up re-scheduled due to crappy weather!), had cake with friends and also got out for a wander along Southbank.  These photos are all from my wandering at Saturday lunchtime, I had a delicious lunch at Popolo (brilliant recommendation from a friend, was absolutely delicious and they made me up a yummy fruit mocktail), while listening to live jazz being played down by the river and the rain held off until I made it back to the hotel – perfect!

Sunday morning ended up being utterly hectic but fun.  Getting up early for breakfast and packing before heading up to Roma Street Parklands for some shoots.  These gardens are absolutely amazing and the amount of colour in them for the middle of winter was gorgeous.  Then it was rush back to the hotel for a late checkout and off to lunch with a friend before heading for the airport.  Phew!!  Exhausting, but the break was exactly what I needed and I was happy to get home and see my little family again that evening.
