Hi again!
3 months without posting anything on my blog, that's not on. Really!!
And yet, there's so much I could have posted, all these photos taken in France to start with. I suppose I just let life take over, as one does. Well...not every one, but I certainly did.
And then, things are happening for me professionally and I couldn't ignore my blog any longer. Exciting things that I want to share with you.
First of all, my website, my first ever website, was launched a couple of weeks ago and this in itself has been very exciting. It took several months to get it just like I wanted it, with lots and lots of my photographs. There are still many more to be added and I need to write something about myself, which is always a challenge!
Please go and have a look at it, it's such a pity to spend so much time on something you love and have no one look at it!

If you go and have a look you will see the finished product, but I would like to thank my friend who helped me design and build the website and who spent many hours on it and several sleepless nights getting things just right for me. I am so grateful for your help, merci beaucoup Loïc, vraiment merci de tout mon coeur!
I hope you go and have a look, a nosie (love that expression, English is such a fabulous language when it comes to expressions!), nothing wrong with being curious, and that you will enjoy what you see.
I promise to write a post again tomorrow about another big thing happening in my professional life right now. Be patient...only one more day to wait before you find out!!!
Thanks a lot for your support.

Bonjour!
I don't think there's much more I can say about this photo shoot than what meets the eyes!
It had everything I love working with : a beautiful setting (Zoe's new property near Hamilton), a large piece of floaty, delicate and fluid fabric in soft pink, and of course my favourite model Stella.
A dream!

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.
