I absolutely LOVE working with families over the passage of time - and it's awesome when parents realise the importance of investing in professional photography as their children grow and change. In the case of the Gilberts, it's extra cool because each time they've come to see me they've had one more adorable girl to include in our session.

These days thanks to the rise and rise of the 'selfie', most of us have far too many photos of ourselves...and more than too many of our kids.

For a Hawkes Bay wedding photographer, the first country wedding of summer is an aphrodisiac a little like falling in love. Pair me and my lens with historic Greenhill Lodge with its jaw-dropping backdrop of rolling hills and it is hard to imagine a more perfect match

Falling in love is not something that happens literally to people, unless you're Hamish, of course. Eight years ago he walked into a student flat in Palmerston North and was so overwhelmed when he saw his future wife for the very first time that he fell over the clothes horse. A few impressive dance moves the following night (which he busted out again on their wedding day) and Bridget was his. Forever, as it turned out.

It's been 18 months now since my own pregnancy (time flies when you are having fun, and have a new boss!). Because of wedding photography and family commitments I've pressed pause on maternity photography until the winter.

Little wee Charlotte is quite possibly the most kissed little newborn in Hawke's Bay. Aside from her Mum & Dad, she has her besotted big sister, Isla, showering her with love. And how she has earned it - a little fighter right from the start and finally safe and sound, at home in her parents' arms, my favourite place for magical newborn photography.
