Monday, March 29th, 2010

He was calm, he was curious and …. he was a complete posing machine

Elijah is just the cutest 3 month old EVVVVVER, seriously…. them baby rolls were just so so so gorgeous. Oh my oh my oh my, and I got a cuddle, woohoo Even Nico got to hold him, as he slept away.

Elijah’s older brother was also super awesome! Very open and creative, and very imaginative, it was such a pleasure to talk with him!! And he gave the BEST facials hehehe!!

This family was so wonderful, and I can say truthfully that these have been my favourite portrait photos to work on so far in my photography career. They were so open and genuine,…. and they had some fab ideas Thanks for asking me to capture your family, it was rockin

So check out some of my favourites from the shoot, and enjoy

Chelle

I ran a contest on my facebook fan page a few weeks back, and the prize was a free mini session (20mins long), with 10-20 edited photos to choose from, and a free 5×7 print! To enter, you had to state why you were FABULOUS

Chelle entered with this:

“I am fabulous because I have managed to sort out my life again after a huge upheaval due to my health, friends and accomadation issues. I’ve lived to tell the story and help others with similar health issues.”

I love people that weather a storm, then come out the other side to help others. There really is no other word for her than FABULOUS.

Now the session was for 1 or 2 people, so Chelle opted to bring her friend Sarah along. We took a wander round the Gardens, and the girls posed oh so fabulously for me. I think we went over the 20 min mark lol, but we were having fun, so there was no reason to stop I ended up editing over 30 photos also, because they both did such a wonderful job posing, made it very hard for me to pick out the best photos, thats for sure!!

Chelle, Sarah, you guys are both so beautiful, and you looked so stunning in the shots. Keep being fabulous

So enough of me talking, here are a couple of my favourite shots from our session.:

And some of the gals together:

Personal: We are Fammmmmily!!!

Thursday, March 11th, 2010

A few weeks back my family got together for dinner. My brother was paying (a christmas gift), and we went to Memory Lane. I havent been there since…. my early teens. We grew up in Rotorua, and occasionally we would take a trip to Hamilton (which wasn’t too appealing since I always got majorly carsick). We would go to the Lake, JUST to slide down the giant slide, which used to be closer to the road. We would then go to a place where you could race toy cars around tracks (this is no longer in Hamilton, and I can’t remember where it was, since I was a kid, but it was sooooo cool, even if I did always get my ass whooped), and THEN, we would head off to The Old Flame, now known as Memory Lane. Those trips to Hamilton are burned into my memory, great memories!

So it was just so perfect that we ended up back at Memory Lane all these years later. We have been living in Hamilton for about 11-12 years now and have NEVER gone there for dinner. Of course this time was a little different, it wasnt just two parents and 3 bickering children. It was 2 parents, a grandparent, 3 bickering siblings, one spouse, one partner, and the most gorgeous baby girl EVER… our family is slowly growing lol. It was a quick dinner, in/out/done. But…. it was another awesome memory to add to the rest! My family are nuts. We are all crazy, stubborn, and grumpy… but I love them, and I love spending time with them

Before we left for dinner, I took this photo. I forgot to bring my tripod, so… I actually stood there and took this photo. And then…. spent over an hour photoshopping myself into it, taking out power lines, fixing peoples hair, etc etc hahaha. This is the ONLY photo of all of us, and I love it, even if it’s not perfect. I may even hang it on my wall…. if I can stand looking at my crazy, stubborn, grumpy family everyday haha…. I think I’ll manage

Wedding: Megan and James

Wednesday, March 10th, 2010

Being proposed to under the Eiffel Tower, …. it’s like a scene from a movie. But for Megan it was a reality… how incredibly amazing is that What I love is that they carried the Eiffel Tower theme through to their wedding day, which was an awesome idea :

Megan and James are just such a fantastic couple, we had alot of fun doing bridal party shots (if they have gotten over my mentalness haha). And I loved doing all the extra family shots during the reception, a fun family, and a lot of laughs!! Here are some of my favourite shots from the day, enjoy:

…..seriously the best celebrant ever, never laughed so much at a ceremony.

Hahahahaha:

Thanks guys, for letting us photograph your awesome day Can’t wait to show you the rest!!
