At the end of 2020 I got to meet these gorgeous girls and I have to say, they melted my heart the second I saw them! Even their names suited them perfectly. Maddy is the olderst and wow she is a model in the making.  Kaiah is next and her smile just lit up my camera and then as if I wasn't happy enough little Anya, what a little firecracker she had me in fits.   They reminded me why I do this.  I love capturing children just doing what they do best - to play and explore.  While I like to give them a little direction now and then To View More >>

" There has never been, nor will there ever be, anything quite so special as the love between the mother and a son." This quote sums up these two perfectly. I had a lovely session with this wee Mumma and her boy Kaiden yesterday afternoon. To say these two have been through a storm is probably an understandment!   A few months ago this beautiful sole was making arrangements for a wedding that is no longer on the cards.  Instead she finds herself making a new home for Kaiden and herself and setting about finding her new normal.

Meet this gorgeous little girl, she is the daughter of Sion and Anna who recently came into have a few portraits taken. First we went down to the local drive and grabbed some family photos before the rain came, well it did spit a little and looked like the sky would open up but it did stay nice for a little bit even if it was a little cold and chilly.

Last weekend we spent the day in Taupo watching this wee girl competing in another round of her gym comp. This sassy young lady always amazes me when it comes to her gymnastics.  Her effort and determination even when things don't always go her way.  She is at level 'Step Four' She never shows any signs of being disappointed if she doesn't manage to pass on the day, she smiles and carries on.  Even when we talk about it at home she is always 'meh and its not that she doesn't care, she's just not the type of kid to let these things overwhelm her.  She will pass I To View More >>

Some days you wake up and you just know its going to be a crapper of a day and then there are days like yesterday and boom one simple wee comment 'like asking for dam popcorn' lights up your messenger like a civil defence warning. Well actually I've never had a civil defence warning but you get my drift. If there is one thing that I have learnt in the past five years it would have to be (drum roll please) You do not have to like everyone or have everyone in your life!  Yes folks you heard right. Not everyone in your circle are going to get along and that's okay. The world To View More >>
