A lazy Sunday afternoon, I have a bunch of new ideas and locations swimming around my head. So I take my enthusiastic and not-too-bad-looking friends out for a play.
See? I said enthusiastic!
And a bit of bright orange for good measure…

This morning I did an engagement shoot with Tim, Anna and the adorable Seth. The morning started out rather frosty, but opened up into a beautiful day for us.
When I arrived, I jumped into their car and we shot around to Tim’s parents place where the wedding will be held. … 
Did you know that the latin word for red, means literally “looks great in photographs”? Well chances are it doesn’t, but I think it should. Red is probably the most instantly recognisable colour out there, and a smart photographer can really use it to their advantage.… 
Wanna know the secret to a really great pet or child photo? Get down. Down. No – even further. Get right down! That’s it. Feel that tickle under your chin? That’s grass. And don’t worry, the stain will probably come out of your shirt… probably.… 
Jema was one of my very best friends during my teenage years. She came back to Blenheim last week, and we saw eachother again after years apart. I wish we had more time together to do a proper session, but before she left I was able to spend a couple of minutes with her gorgeous little Ashley. …

Today I was lucky enough to be able to photograph this beautiful young family. Ryan is just the cutest little guy, one of the most placid babies I’ve seen in a long time!

When Annabel called me to see if I could photograph her family while they had her in-laws staying from overseas, I had no idea how much I would enjoy meeting and shooting them! Eduard is my Dentist (thankfully he’s a very very gentle dentist, or he may have ended up with some extra warts and wrinkles :))
