A year in Auckland

We survived a year in Auckland!!! Well almost Auckland. We lived in Titirangi in the bush, next to the sea. It was quite a chaotic time in our lives, with Mr Young starting a new job flying bigger planes. We also started a picture framing business that sells frames to photographers all over the country. We also opened our first studio outside of our home in the beautiful Titirangi Village. It was an incredible space, with beautiful light. I absolutely loved being surrounded by lush bush & delicious cafes... All that ontop of settling three kiddos into school and preschool... I'm exhausted just thinking about it!

We had planned to stay for two years but the call of the South Island was just too strong.

We did however make some incredible friendships, take some awesome photos as we explored a beautiful part of the country.

We had no family help in Auckland so the kids spent many hours "helping" in the studio and learning how to work the "Hot Chocolate" machine.

I had so much work on that sometimes I would sleep at the studio! lol! - I told you it was a crazy time!

Our new picture framing business - Deadtree. We started this out of desparation when we opened the Titirangi Studio in the middle of winter - It was a bit tough!!! Framing really helped pay our rent in those early days. We actually really ended up loving this little business - More serious name change - coming soon!

Summer was incredible
