Rachel’s wish to have a family photoshoot

Memories forever are what we try to create through Ambulance Wish Queensland, and we were thrilled to create an album’s worth of wonderful memories for Rachel and her family with a photo shoot.

Joined by her two daughters and under the protective but loving eye of husband Quenton, the day was to be full of fun, enjoyment and mother-daughter bonding. Thanks to Kylie Rose, The Hair and Makeup Artist, the girls were in for a wonderful styling and makeup session.  Hannah was treated to the full-style hair and makeup treatment, while Holly, Rachel’s youngest, was treated like a princess with sparkling lip-gloss to accompany a beautiful braid in her hair. As the stylist got to work, the results spoke for themselves, with Hannah looking like she was heading to her formal, and Holly, whose boundless energy kept everyone entertained, shining bright. It was clear that watching her daughters being treated like superstars was very much a highlight of Rachel’s day.

Rachel also delighted in a much-deserved pampering session, joining the girls in a beautiful hair and makeup session completing the mother-daughter bonding. It was a magical moment, reinforcing our powerful connections with those we love. Following their styling sessions, oldest son Reece joined the family, and it was time to take some wonderful photos to capture Rachel with her husband Quenton, son Reece and two beautiful daughters, Hannah and Holly, preserving those magical memories forever.

Thank you to our wonderful wish team Tara, Kym, Fran, Karly and Annie for fulling this last wish and creating memories forever.
