    Inspiration Through Art: Corey, Jarrod, Star, Rob and Mandy

    Posted in: Projects, {families}, {portraits}

    Today we had a special shoot in Lower Hutt for Corey and his family.  It was the first shoot we’ve done through the Inspiration Through Art programme, which up until recently was known as the Littlest Heroes Project.  The programme is a really good one, and I encourage you to go and read a little more about it, and spread the word to anyone you can.  We, along with loads of other Kiwi photographers, are so excited and happy to offer this service to families like Corey’s who face all sorts of challenges.  The Inspiration Through Art programme provides free portraits for kids and families in these situations.

    Corey has metachromic leukodystrophy (MLD) – a nervous system disease which affects mobility.  To read more about Corey and his journey, please visit his website here.

    Because of Corey’s mobility issues, we decided it would be easiest to have our photoshoot at the Wilson’s home, with big brother Jarrod, mum Mandy, dad Rob and doggie Star.  We had a lovely time with the Wilson’s, who were such an awesome family.  On to the pics :)

    First up, a family photo:

    Some cute shots of Corey with Mum & Dad:

    Hangin’ out in his room:

    And last but not least, a few portraits of Jarrod and the lovely Star:

    Today we visited the Wellington SPCA to help get some new profile pictures for their dogs.  What a gorgeous bunch of woofers they were!  Please go by and check them out!

    Here’s a quick picture of lovely Nala.

    Retro adorable

    Posted in: Inspiration, Projects, {life}

    I purchased some film this week for my vintage Polaroid camera, before the stocks of film run out. Apparently new film will be produced at some point, but best not to risk it right?!  So, to embrace the little retro hipster inside me, I ummed and erred about what to shoot, especially since at these prices every frame is $3.50 :)

    And of course, in the end, it was the little guy that won – shoot what you love, right?  Here’s Baxter, vintage-style:

    We are having a weekend off this weekend, so fingers crossed for a wonderful weekend, especially as it feels this week a bit like the warm weather is at an end.  Hope you all have a delicious time!

    Wellington Sevens, Part 2.

    Posted in: Projects, {life}, {news}, {portraits}

    We’re spending some time at home this afternoon to cool off after a gloriously sunny trip to the Wellington waterfront to see what the sevens-goers were up to.  By 12.30, the crowd were already getting fairly raucous at the various bars we walked past, though there were loads of families out to see everything too.

    Even when I’m out shooting madness in crazy outfits, I shoot details.  I love the waterfront:

    Then, onto the action. These dudes had a softer side though:

    I love groups that have their whole thing worked out, including a photo set-up:

    Sevens craziness is for the young of heart:

    Dude’s got moves!

    And so does this guy! Bringin’ a little country flavour to it:

    Rawr.

    When I shoot couples, I love juxtaposing things that look bizarre together, like a bride against a faded & peeling shed. So, yeah, this is cool:

    And, once again, a little vintage. ‘Cos we do it soooo well.

    Once again, if you don’t see your pic here, check out our Facebook page, and if anyone wants me to send through a photo of them, just flick me an email.

    Wellington Sevens, Part 1.

    Posted in: Projects, {life}, {portraits}

    As someone so eloquently Tweeted today, Wellington during Sevens weekend is a magical place.  Social norms, fashion and shyness are out the window, and are unashamedly replaced by wonderfully, hilariously bold & reckless AWESOME (awesome in costume, no less!).  Michael decided we would spend the afternoon on the streets watching the world go by, and WOW was it worth it.  Here are a few of my favourite shots, either because I love the costumes, or because they’re freakin’ hilarious!

    Very cool, you internet & social network lovers:

    Now,  I don’t know how many of you have seen the Photobomb site, where people run into other people’s photos, but this one right here is world class:

    LOVE the Mario girls.  If this ain’t geek chic, I don’t know what is.

    Like I said, everything you know to be normal, out the window.

    What I love about this photo is that it sort of looks like I was paparazzi, grabbing a secret shot of them as they walked down the street shopping one weekend…

    And now a little retro, because vintage tees and men in stubbies are everything we know and love about this country:

    I think we might hit the streets again tomorrow for a little more photo love!  If we took your picture and it’s not featured here, or you want to see more madness, go and check out the Sevens album on our Facebook page.

    Project 365

    Posted in: Inspiration, Projects, {life}

    This year, I’m doing a photography project called Project 365.  In recent years it has become immensely popular on the internet, and I’ve always wanted to do it.  This year just feels like a good time to make the effort.  For more info on Project 365, check out http://365project.org/ and the work that other people are doing in the 365 group on Flickr. It’s fairly simple though – take a photo every day.

    I have always enjoyed creating amazing memories through my camera lens, and this project is both a way to ensure I’m always looking for new ways to photograph the world around me, and to capture a part of our lives in 2010.

    I think it would be kind of overkill (i.e. very boring for you!) for me to post all 365 pictures, but I’ll try to post my favourites every week or so.

    Here are some amazing views from Marlborough for the first instalment.

    The landscapes down there are breathtaking. If you are having a Marlborough wedding I am available to photograph weddings there for the 2010/11 season.
