So its pretty safe to admit that I am a little late to the Infocus conference/Iris awards debrief party.  My tardiness in no way reflects the enormity of my emotions over what was one of the most fabulous few days of my photographylife to date. I initially wasn't going to enter the Iris awards this year (due to all sorts of reasons - nerves, downright fear, being too busy yadayadayada) but late one night (minutes before the close of entries) I bit the bullet and entered some images.  This resulted in a last minute printing mission for the wonderful team at Queensberry - who To View More >>

Over the last year or so I have been lucky enough to work with the wonderful Annick from Textstyle a fabulously talented writer and stylist.   We have been in homes all over New Zealand that are creative, stylish and fully deserving of the house envy they have envoked in me.  I'm thrilled that my photography has been featured in the wonderful Your Home & Garden magazine and I hope to continue contributing to this and other publications.  I have to admit to being over excited at each new issue & seeing my images in circulation makes me feel like a child on Christmas To View More >>

A wee while ago I photographed this sweet wee man & he was such a delight! This is one of my favourite new born shoots to date... the cuddles were delicious too. If you are expecting, or know someone who is - I urge you to think about a new born shoot. Newborns are precious and simply perfect so why not capture these gorgeous fleeting moments! It is best to get in touch before your due date to book your session. New born's photograph best between 5 & 14 days old when they are still curly & sleepy like wee Lucas! To View More >>

I went to the best birthday party ever!  Little Master D turned one & celebrated surrounded by friends and family on a beautiful sunny afternoon! It was an afternoon filled with starfish sammies, sailors brew, a bouncy castle, nautical bunting, laughter, smiles and plenty of giggles.... such fun! Here are a few shots of the big day!  Happy birthday again D!   To View More >>

This was such a lovely session with Jenna and Paul! The best was that it meant I finally got to put together Jenna's maternity series photo - damn this wonderful woman has rocked her pregnancy!  This has felt like the loooongest pregnancy ever - we took the first image in the series at 13 weeks and the last at 39 weeks - I've been so excited to put together & I'm so pleased with how it turned out!     We braved the icy wind the other evening (I did feel guilty as I smoothed away goosebumps) and got some wonderful shots that capture this special time not to mention the love To View More >>

I have eleventy million blog posts to write but since I'm new to this whole blogging lark I'm battling to get them all done, I thought I'd start playing catch up from my most recent adventure to get the ball rolling!  First of all a massive thank you to everyone that shared & commented on the 150gram images - we have all been humbled by the support given to us (especially the patients). I am pleased to be able to report that one month on both are doing really well!  If the images and post start the conversation between just one family that wouldn't have entertained the idea of organ To View More >>

Those that know me will be well aware that beautiful Samoa is my happy place in the world. The warmth, the sand between my toes, the crystal clear water not to mention the fantastic people! I'm lucky enough to be heading over there (again) this evening - this time with more of a purpose than just relaxing, sipping cocktails and catching up with friends! This trip I am delivering postcards to Le Manumea a fantastic resort in Vailima & taking more photos of their wonderful island night! I am also beyond excited that I have been asked to photograph the newly opened luxury resort at Return To View More >>
