Maternity - Baby Shower

Huia & Chris are expecting their first child, they are both involved in the music industry and ooze kiwiana and culture, I loved the shoot, Huia had the most beautiful maternity clothes and they were so free and easy, breaking into a spontaneous dance session, every photographers dream!!!

Portrait - & Milly makes three...

Since she was a baby Milly has always hated sleeping alone, recently she and Jett have moved into separate rooms, it seems as though he loves it....but she's finding it a bit tough, not sure when she arrives, but she's always in our bed in the morning, I find myself staring at her sleeping face taking in its perfection and quietness...

Lucy - Portrait

What better way to test out a new lens - gorgeous little english rose - lucy.

It was a bright foggy day - perfect portrait weather!

Lucy is one of my best friends daughter and has been in front of my lens quite alot!

As she gets older she gets even more devine. x

 Thankyou to my lovely assistant Milly... 

(Mummy why aren't you taking any photos of me???)

Portrait - Lara

I'm a sucker for freckles and dimples, Lara has the best of each...

Engagement Session - Lisa & Nathan

Today was a day of dispair in the little beach community where I live 'Mt Maunganui'.  Instead of kilometres of sandy white beaches, we now have kilometres of oily sludge due to a stricken vessel just off the coastline....
These photos were taken the day before it happened, Lisa & Nathan were lucky to enjoy an afternoon on the beach before it all changed....
I'm really looking forward to their wedding very soon, my first of the season - can't wait! x

Engagement Session Sarah & Oliver -Auckland

Sarah & Oliver's Engagement session was really exciting for me as I got to shoot in a brand new venue - Auckland Domain, I was like a chicken with it's head cut off as I hurried them all over the place trying to maximise this devine location, they are getting married next year at another gorgeous location which I am also photographing so watch this space...!
