Blenheim Darkness
I love light... normally I shoot with a lot of it.However our new place in Blenheim is incredibly dark.Tinted windows, dark carpet, dark walls and large trees surrounding the back of the property.It has been making me feel slightly depressed :(So I played all day today, I got out of my funk... and eventually did find a little bit of magic.It scared me at first, its so not me... but now i think I'm in love.
Where it all began...
It seemed fitting one of my last shoots in Northland to go right back to where it all began..Some of my first clients at my favorite first location in Paihia...It was here that I first worked out light.. I found my love of open shade and pops of colour... I discovered that it wasn't a magical forest I was after, instead I needed a magical carpark.A place where clients could easily find me, I could drive my car right up and unload the contents of my car right into the carpark/magical forest.. Not only that but gravel bounces light just the right amount..But even more importantly... this is the place where I met my Hayley, worlds best friend and fellow photographer... sigh... those were the days.Anyways back to the pictures below.. Two gorgeous girls... Their Mum has been such a great friend to me & an awesome supporter of my little business, cant thank her enough... Oh and she is also a Toy Lady.. Yes, I know Cool job... you can check her shop out here 
Cape Reinga at Sunset
This week we said Goodbye to all our Northland friends... It was pretty rough. We have met such beautiful people up North and made such special friendships that the word FRIEND doesn't seem appropriate... we've made family.
Before we left we went on a special trip to witness Cape Reinga at sunset from the lighthouse. I cannot describe what it felt like to be up there for the golden hour until dark... but it was by far the most magical sight my eyes have ever seen...
Thank you Northland for all the love & support during our six years living in Paihia & Kerikeri. We really appreciate it & hope to come back once a year for a visit & to photograph my photo addicts :)Book in your session CLICK HERE. Pop back to read more Jenna and our travels.

Clients are also most welcome to arrange a time to meet in person in our Studio in Ohoka, please get in touch to book.
Family | Waipu Cove
I have always wanted to go to Waipu Cove, I add it to my to-do list each time we drive from kerikeri to Auckland.. but we are always in a rush, or one of the kids is asleep... and no one likes to wake dragons.So when I received Alison's email about photographing her four children at Waipu Cove before their Christening I just knew I had to make it work... Now knowing and doing are two different things, and in true Jenna Young style I did not book any accommodation... but all the people attending the Surf competition at Waipu Cove were more onto it.. So onto it they fully booked out the whole place.So that is how Jenna and her family ended up at a doc camping ground in a borrowed tent... I thought hmm Jenna perhaps this is not a good idea, you already have to get the kids up at 5am to catch the sunrise... you need your sleep... will you get any with three kids in a tent - the youngest being four months. I managed to ignore myself and decided it was going to be fun.And then god smiled at me... My children slept all night, A L L O F T H E M !I think it must have been something to do with the christening the next day he wanted me to be awake for it.And awake I was.. 6:15am on the beach with this gorgeous family.Yes I know 6:15am, but look at that light! Totally worth it...A L I S O N you have no idea how happy you made me... Im always scared to ask people to get up early, the thought of you getting your four children ready for photographs that early.... it's one of the nicest things anyone has ever done for me. I absolutely loved getting to know your children, each so different & so much personality - you're very very lucky. Perhaps I have gone a little overboard with the amount of images, somehow i ended up with 176 keepers... I will keep the christening ones private for you and your family to enjoy :)

Little Mermaid
One of my last shoots at Takou Bay before moving down to Blenheim. Such a special spot, wispy sand dunes, blue water and the most amazing sunsets. Its definitely well worth keeping your children up that extra bit to catch the golden light.
