WOW! I seem to attract all the hot couples for the weddings. Adele and Tristan were so much fun not worrying about getting their butts wet or hanging off rocks. We discovered a hidden part of Balmoral Beach with small cliffs with vines…our secret little oasis (although we could have done without the mosquitoes!). They are actually getting married at Balmoral Beach as well so we tried to do the ‘get down and dirty’ shots that we wouldn’t be able to do in a lovely white dress Congrats to you both! I look forward to having more fun at the end of February. There are 24 photos showcased so it may take a while for the page to load…

I had the privilege of spending Christmas Eve with the Dyer family and their new little 6 week old daughter, Jane. She is definitely a cutie and came out with a few surprises during our session Thank you to heather and Grant for welcoming me into their hoem and allowing me to capture these special moments. Here are a few favourites from our session.

On Monday 22 December Maurice, Mel and I headed out after 6.30pm to Deepwater Park off Henry Lawson Drive near East Hills. It was almost deserted which made for great photo opportunities! It also made for some cheeky moments instigated by Maurice. Unfortunately those pics are not for public show Maurice and Mel were such good sports, climbing into the rainforest (that Deepwater tried to grow) and lying down on the overgrown plants. Thank goodness we didn’t see any snakes or funnel webs! Thanks again for such a great time Maurice and Mel, you two are naturals in front of the camera and I look forward to snapping more happy moments on March 7!

I have picked out a few favourites to share.

On Sunday 14 December I met Sharon and Les Scott for a sunrise portrait session as a 10th birthday present for their two lovely border collies, Boof and Bundy! They look much younger than 10 and we had a great time running around Brays Bay Reserve (Concord) watching the sun come up – such a beautiful time of day! Thanks to Sharon and Les for allowing me to share this special time with them. Here are some of my favourites from our session…
