It took all of my strength not to message Deb the night before on facebook, warning her that she was about to become a STAR!! The look on her face was just awesome.. She really had no idea. The second winner was a local woman April Peri, who I have not had the pleasure of meeting properly yet but Im sure she is equally as awesome... Both of these ladies were selected from a huge number of deserving woman, all nominated by the community...kerikeri-photographer-02After the announcement April & Deb were whisked away & the transformation began...The girls from Northland Hair worked their magic on hair while the Body Divine crew worked on the girls make-up.... You would think it would be full-on given the time frame, but in true northland style the room was chilled & stress free... SEE BELOW vvv Laurel Stratford even had time to do my hair - don't I just look amazing!jenna-young-photographerkerikeri-photographer-03The finishing touches were applied, the girls looked fab in their outfits thanks to Caravan... note to self must pop in and try on there cute little Owl Dress...kerikeri-photographer-04SMOKE! it was a great idea, and did look cool.. but it made Photography & breathing a little difficult LOL.kerikeri-photographer-05Thanks for a great night girls, I'm so excited to be photographing April & Deb for a full-on super pretty Photo Shoot later on this month.

I wanted to offer my clients more of an experience, I wanted it to be all about fun & a little bit of sugar... some of you have tried my baking and will know that it would not be a very good idea for Jenna to attempt this... And then I met my Fairy Godmother - Susi Liddington...

The whole shoot is styled by susi she can provide outfits, props even complimentary cupcakes... Cost $49 per child.
