Welcome to 2012. I hope you all had a great break and are now ready to face the new year with a sense of excitement. Those that follow this blog will have seen that we were forced to move house, well that’s now happened, and we’re slowly settling in. I do love that new house [...]

Today I decided that I’d had enough of the house and needed to get out and be among the people, lots of people.  So I bustled the kids into the car with a few hats, sunblock, and snacks thrown in after them, and sped towards the Devonport ferry (obeying all speed limits of course).  Once [...]

Make your invitations personal Every year, for both kids I’ve shot a photo for their birthday invitations.  It’s one of my favourite things as I get to choose a photo that reflects their personality at that age.  This year was no different, except that we’ve decided there will be no more parties after the kids [...]

I can’t believe it’s a year since I last went to the kowhai festival  in Warkworth.  I was prepared last time, and took the family, but this year it sort of crept up on me. I managed to evacuate the house in a record breaking 19mins from making the decision to take the kids.  That means I [...]

I recently had the priviledge of refreshing the website photography for the Cathedral of the Holy Trinity, and St Mary’s church in Parnell.  I’ve attended plenty of weddings in St Mary’s, as it’s such a popular venue for weddings, but I’d never set foot inside the Cathedral. Holy Trinity Cathedral – a photographic challenge! Technically [...]
