bonheur

Between assignements, these are the photographs I enjoy taking.  I love finding new locations, quirky places, beautiful light, sometimes adding my own touch to the raw canvas that is in front of my eyes.  
Que du bonheur!

2012 retrospective

Now that Thomas and Aston are back at school and Luciebelle at daycare, I have had the time to look back at last year and reflect on the course my photography business has taken. Things didn't go the way I expected them to go, isn't it always the way?? No, things took a different track, in a way.  I was in demand much quicker than I thought and i was asked to do a variety of photographic work, some completely unexpected and so wonderful.  
Here's my 2012 in a few words and images:

the year started with Stace and Dale's wedding in the Hokianga in early February
 

Then not long after that, I was approached by Emma at Redcurrent to take photographs for the Redcurrent website and online shop. You can look at the photos I took for them on www.redcurrent.co.nz (my photos are the main photo on each page / category of products and on the main page).  This was unexpected, as initially I thought I would take photos for families (babies, children, weddings, etc).  I thoroughly enjoy taking photographs for Redcurrent, they are a fun and caring company, it's been a wonderful year working alongside the team.

Here are some of the photos I took for them:

And throughout the year, I photographed lovely pregnant women and some divine newborns: 

and fun and full of energy children: 

and of course, there were my gorgeous friend Zoe's vintage dresses: 

and vintage at Te Mata Estate winery: 

and finally... I was commissioned to take photographs for a beautiful coffee table book, that will be out in September of this year !! This is such, such, an exciting project, I am loving it!! But I can't say more about it right now!! :-)

what a great year, I hope that this year will be just as good, if not better even.
thank you for reading my blog.
