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.

No CommentsWellington 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.

Posted in: {life}, {news}, {portraits}
To anyone who’s visited the site in the last couple of months, this won’t be much of a surprise, as things have been changing for a while, but as you can see I’ve now completed something of a ‘new’ site. I was struggling with keeping two different sites up to date, so now you can find everything located in one place – this blog has had a little makeover and now houses our information and galleries as well. I also have a pretty new logo that will be appearing on a few more of my materials.
I still need to create and update my beauty/fashion & family portraiture galleries, so in the meantime, as I couldn’t post without a picture, here’s one of my favourite images from my summer holiday – my niece livin’ it up on the trampoline.

No CommentsStaying fabulous
Posted in: Inspiration, {couples}, {life}, {news}, {portraits}
Welcome to 2010! 2009 was gone in the blink of an eye for us – between a few doors closing and a few new ones opening it has been non-stop action that I could barely keep up with. But I’m back with a vengeance now after a much-needed and truly wonderful break over Christmas and New Year. We were lucky enough to spend a little time in Auckland and in Marlborough to see both of our extended families. I’ll post a little something about that tomorrow when I talk about a project I’ve taken on for 2010.
Today’s post though is about another little trip I was able to take, down to Christchurch. On January 5th I attended a workshop with Orange County wedding photographer Jasmine Star. If you haven’t seen Jasmine’s blog, then head over there immediately. It showcases her breathtaking work, which is bright, fresh and fun with a twist of fashion. It also showcases Jasmine’s vibrant personality and her talent for writing, not to mention her adorable dog Polo.
I have no doubt that attending her workshop will change my business and who I am, if for no other reason than that I’m here, writing this now. One thing I walked out of there knowing was that I have to make more of an effort to blog! Hopefully this year’s posts will be much more frequent, and let you know a little bit more about who I am, what I do, and what I do for my clients.
I was also lucky enough to meet some other great photographers from around the country, and get great advice from them and from Jasmine herself. We packed a lot into a day, not least of which was having an amazing photoshoot. Our models were beyond sensational, and the Christchurch Arts Centre was a beautiful location. We had gorgeous sunshine, a bit of a breeze, and, thanks to a nearby bomb-scare (which I mean in the NICEST way possible) we had access to this fabulous tram to shoot in:
The architecture there makes for the most fabulous light and backdrop:
There is nothing quite like real laughter:
Bee-autiful! When I get them, I will post the details of the dress designer, because these designer gowns were absolutely amazing.
Jasmine’s workshop was the perfect way to kick off 2010. I can absolutely recommend it to other photographers who get the opportunity to go. Jasmine Star Photography’s tagline is “lifestyle photography for fabulous people,” and at the bottom of a little card from Jasmine were the words “stay fabulous.” That, simply put, is my goal for 2010.

We decided to pop down to the local Santa Parade today and grab a few shots. I really enjoyed it and we got some great pictures.
This one is my absolute favourite from the day:
The kids watching it are so cute!
A little entertainment:
The fire team were pretty popular:
How adorable is this girl’s expression?
Some Christmas wishes from Scotland:
Cute!
These guys were all having loads of fun:
We got a little performance from these guys:
One of the many furry stars of the day:
Love it:
Some fun personalities:
How cool is this outfit?
Some more music:
And the star of the show:

It’s a little early, so it seems, but it’s really not long now until Christmas will be upon us again. I’m running a few little special packages for this Christmas. Sessions are available weekends from now until mid-November, and packages apply to family, children’s and couples portraiture. Contact me now to make your booking.
