Isn’t nature beautiful? Just editing images from our road trip down to Hawkes Bay and loved how the contrast and texture was heightened when I turned these shots into black and white. These were taken at the Eastwoodhill Arboretum in Gisborne. Will share more from the trip soon but enjoy this for now x
I love surprises. And I think a surprise gift of photos to treasure forever is the perfect present. This is Danielle and Will, and their Aunty organised this session for their Mum’s birthday. They were SO much fun… once I managed to coax them down from climbing trees, they showed such a strong brother-sister bond, goofing around and just being completely gorgeous together. And the best thing is that they managed to keep shtum about our day out for a whole week till Mum’s birthday! ♡
You may remember these guys from a while back before the oh-so-cute Philippa arrived. Well, two became three and we had some fun together in the park one Autumn morning…
These two were so sweet to photograph, very natural together, giggling away! This was shot one sunny autumn afternoon with the beautiful golden light coming out to play…
Back in October I surprised Aaron with a weekend away in Matakana for his birthday. I really love Matakana… less than an hours drive from Auckland yet you feel a world away from the city. We lazily wandered through the markets, explored the coastline and relaxed with good food and wine. A highlight was a visit to Brick Bay to walk their sculpture trail and taste their wine – definitely worth a visit if you haven’t been, such a beautiful spot!
Earlier in the year I was asked to photograph 3 generations of the lovely Parker family on their stunning olive grove, high on a hill in Mangonui, Northland. What a stunning part of the country, surrounded by beautiful beaches and acres of farmland, olive groves and forest. They are lucky to have the most amazing views from their property, which provided the perfect backdrop for a family shoot!
