After a wonderful month in Brussels, a few days in London, we flew directly back to NZ (one hour Singapore stop over is perfect when we are lucky enough to score empty planes) arriving late Friday night. 3am Monday I was up getting ready to fly to Australia. The airport Park and Drive is wonderful except when you arrive back 4 days later, midnight, it is pouring with rain and your car battery is flat (no, I didn’t leave the lights on, dodgy battery is all).

I spent four days with some amazing american and australian photographers in a mansion on the coast. Here are some pics from a family shoot I had on our last day. How gorgeous are they!

The most delightful teddy bears picnic you ever did see…

Private Group Class
A popular class option that is fun and informative. Get a group of your friends together for a mum’s night out at a friend’s house, or a daytime class while the kids are at school. The three hour group class is €75 per person with a minimum of three participants. Each person will receive a textbook to keep as a reference. The class lasts for 3 hours for 3-5 people and can be extended to 4 hours for over 5 people (due to the extra questions that may come up with a larger group size). If you are interested, contact me with some possible dates/times that work for you and your friends so we can co-ordinate the class.

Was so thrilled when Diane asked me photograph her wedding. I knew it would be magical, indeed it was. She was STUNNING. I loved the day and adore the resulting images. How can you go wrong with such a beautiful couple.

Sophy and Katie did a gorgeous job with hair and makeup, the gorgeous bouquets were by Starz Florist and Kumeu Valley Estate was the perfect venue.
