Evening Sessions

I LOVE daylight Saving... Why?  it means family portraiture during the gorgeous golden hour is actually realistic... Booking an evening session ensures awesome soft beautifully diffused light, I am now taking bookings for evening shoots starting at 5pm perfect time to grab an early dinner on the beach in Paihia followed by some Ice Cream.... The following is just a silly little series of my own kiddies munching down some chips on the beach... not really making the most of the gorgeous light but they were being little monkeys!!!mmm dipped in happinessthe truth! the camera never lies little Ellie-may.

A little Princess

On Saturday I popped up to Kaitaia with the family to photograph this beautiful little girl on her 17th day on the planet. I haven't photographed in someone's home since we opened the studio in August, thankfully Renee had a great big sliding door which let in loads of natural light. Absolutely loving the crown shots, I have had these in the studio for a while, but don't get to photograph enough newborns to put them to good use. Once again huge thank-you to Jalnena from Cmonkeydoo for all the hats & crows, love your work.NOW for something super exciting... I will launch this properly next week... BUT we now have a BUMPS - BABIES program + a WATCH ME GROW - my first year photography program... Check it out here  So precious... now I better go sort out my little one (20 months) who has just decided she is a newborn again at 1am!!! ARRRGH!

Beautiful You Session: Taylor

Taylor came into the studio with three friends to ROCK their BALL FROCK again... I think she looks quite nice...I had a couple of emails from photographers asking what sort of fan we used to blow hair. I have found that your average household fan doesn't quite have sufficient power to blow the hair enough, plus its quite hard to get in the right direction.. We just use a hairdryer, if you only have two arms you will need an assistant :+)
