Yesterday I had the pleasure of meeting & capturing Adelaide.. who turns 100 a little later this year!!
Adelaide was born in Sydney, & was the youngest of 4 children.
She married her Husband Ray at age 19, & they had one Son, who they named Bruce.
Adelaide & Ray spent many years teaching Ballroom dancing. Her mother hand sewed her outfits for their competitions.
Her lovely carers from Opal HealthCare were kind enough to bring her to my studio so I could take her portrait..
Adelaide was completely mesmerized by the building.. she just soaked it all up & marvelled at all the plants & the coloured glass windows.. "there is just something about this place she said.. many times"
Adelaide's memories may not be what they once were.. but she has not lost her wit & humour. She gave me quite the grilling about why I wanted to take her photo.. & asked me if I had married into money, to be able to have such a beautiful place.. She was quite surprised when I told her, that my Husband & I had just worked very hard to achieve our dream.
Thank you to everyone who made it possible to create these images for Adelaide.
