Claire and I used to play with each other every summer holidays at Hahei Campground when we were kids…our parents camped opposite each other and to this day remain good friends….

Claire and I have kept in touch over the years via email and Facebook, sharing a mutual love…photography…Claire owns Bella Creative….

Claire has helped numberous times over the years with my website and blog – anything IT really, she is a whiz – I am not….

So it was such a pleasure to photograph her gorgeous wee family for her ♥

Dreamy Woodland Inspiration Shoot

admin — Tue, 14 May 2013 05:02:42 +0000

I love this shot, it’s from a recent inspiration shoot I did with a bunch of amazing creatives…I never featured the whole shoot (one day!)

The dress is from my all time favourite online vintage clothing store www.newbohemian.co.nz - if you want anything with a difference for a night out – look no further.

The styling was done by Racheal from Rozella Presents, she is the brains behind the amazing Sundaise Music Festival held every year in the Bay of Plenty.

The gorgeous hair and makeup is from Kristen at BLOW Hair in Tauranga…..the image speaks for itself.

Kinloch Wedding – Esta & Bevan

admin — Mon, 06 May 2013 00:02:09 +0000

Esta & Bevan were married at her families home in Kinloch overlooking the lake in March this year.

She is one of 4 sisters, who were also her bridesmaids – Hope, Beth & Milly, Milly was also the talented lady responsible for the beautiful reception decor.

Bevan and Esta’s wedding was gorgeous in so many ways, the flower girls provided some humor during the ceremony, the weather was amazing, Estas dad watered the lawn everyday throughout the drought to ensure it all looked beautiful on their big day….♡

Thankyou to my 2nd shooter Geraldine Gawith

10 years ago today I gave birth to a bonny baby boy – Jett♥

I remember the day as clear as yesterday… the best thing that ever happened to me…

He has more energy than the rest of us put together..

He loves sport, sugar and having fun….

He is honest & caring…

he has a beautiful smile, lots of friends & loves singing…

And with any trouble – he’s never far from it…..

Dream Big Inspirational Workshop – Auckland – Mihaja – Giggles

admin — Fri, 19 Apr 2013 10:47:01 +0000

A few months ago I attended a workshop in Auckland called ‘Dream Big‘

It was a collaboration of three Australian photographers

Hannah & Kate from Giggles & Caroline from Mihaja.

I think its important to get together with like minded people and learn and inspire each other, we got to spend 4 days together shooting, editing, and talking – a whole lotta talking! It was a small & intimate, it had great food (thankyou Erica)

But best of all, I met some very real, very modest, very clever people who shared so much with us

Here are a selection of some of the images I did

♥Thankyou♥

♥Vintage Styled Wedding Decor♥

There is no denying it, rustic/vintage table settings are so popular right now, this wedding in Kinloch was such eye candy, the whole thing was styled by the brides sister, she has all these beautiful props in her own private collection,

the good thing is – she’s going into business so you can use them too!

I love a ‘first look’ in a wedding…

First looks are when the bride and groom meet before the ceremony and have their photos done then….I highly recommend it!
