one morning I woke up and, o surprise, there was fog outside. this is not so unsual for the end of autumn/beginning of winter, but it does not happen often in our little village by the sea.
now, it takes a lot to get me out of bed, especially on a cold morning, but when I saw that I was out of the door in a flash, equipped with my camera and my gum boots because I knew too well where I was heading for: the beach of course.
fog was everywhere, lying still like a blanket and I kept my fingers crossed that it would not have moved when I got to the beach....and here it was, the fog, the beach, the sea, and...me, that's all. Magic!!

the day started cool and windy but in a typical new zealand style, it turned beautiful and hot.
the gardens at the Old Church were a perfect backdrop for the festivities and the photos.
the bridal party was fun and warm.
these were perfect ingredients for a successful day during which i had lots of fun photographing this gorgeous couple and their families and friends.
wishing you all the best for the future.
some
months ago, we had some bad flooding in our region and as a consequence,
our favourite beach, Ocean Beach, ended up covered with drift wood.
one winter afternoon after school, i took this great opportunity to pack
the kids into the car, promising them much fun to be had at the beach.
i also packed my camera of course...! we arrived late afternoon, they
played and i took photos. we had a great time altogether. here is what
the boys got up to, and the photos i took. i hope you will also enjoy
the scenery, this beach is truly beautiful. xx
