Sandcastles
I met these three gorgeous little people two weeks ago. We planned a beach shoot in Paihia followed by a quick session at my favorite grassy spot at Waitangi. Each of the kids were very different. Zoe is quite quiet and very good at smiling for the camera, she has a real sweetness about her, I think its her eyes, they are so smiley.Little Tom is far too smart and knew I wanted to get a great big smile out of him, he found the beach situation quite odd, what is this lady doing? Why is my mum jumping round on the beach like an idiot (thank you Sarah for doing that, it paid off, his little smirks are gorgeous)And last but not least Mya, I'm going to call her a little spectrum, she is exactly like me! in fact if I was 20 years younger I'm sure we would be best friends. I have many happy smiley shots of Mya, but this is my favorite from the shoot. I hope you guys enjoy your online gallery click here and enter your password and thank you so much for allowing me to photograph your children.
Tom + Anna {Wedding}
Tom + Anna are Kiwi's who live in London. They decided to escape the cold and plan a mid-summer wedding in the gorgeous Bay of Islands. Northland had other ideas.. RANDOM RAIN from every direction, it teased us all day with its coming and going, eventually easing for the second half of our location shoot... the mist did not lift thank goodness and gave us the most beautiful light while Tom + Anna's fabulously fun wedding party strutted their stuff in front of my lens.I want to thank Tom + Anna and their wedding party for being such troupers. Rain can prove a challenge during location shots - but you guys were happy to go with the flow, nothing was a problem. It was an absolute pleasure to Photograph your wedding, Hayley and I have both been chatting about your special day all week and how well suited you guys are for each other... awwww... I could go on about Anna's perfect dress, stunning jewellery, tearful ceremony (yes I cried again), Anna's relationship with her mum (super sweet) and their brilliant choice of Waikokopu Cafe for their reception venue... But I won't do that I will let the images do the talking.
