Lucy

I have been neglecting the blog a little over the last few weeks so that I thought to try and be better during this last big week before the big holidays start. I just wanted to quickly show you a few images of Lucy who is a young cellist. It was very special having her play in our studio as the sounds made our former church come alive..the high studs really help.

I told her she can come by any time to play for us and our clients...there is hoping we may get lucky again!

Siblings

A few weeks ago Kerrie-Lee asked me to take photographs of her family in their home which is full of character so really suited them and their children which are equally full of character. As soon as I stepped into the place I was warmly welcomed by a big hug from Freddie, their youngest son. Then there was William their oldest and Ella their daughter which has the most amazing ginger hair and porcelain complexion.

The nice thing was that the three siblings got on really well which created a great upbeat atmosphere.

Here some of the most gorgeous favourites

Andy and Ryan's Graduation

Hi Everyone, In May/June I was quite busy photographing graduations which was a lot of fun. I will publish lots of this years graduation images on my website soon however thought to give a little sneak preview of one of the shoots as I loved their story.

Andy and Ryan at Uni right at the start of their studies. Together they still are and finished the biggest step, their PHD together. It wasn't this season but already two years ago. When it was their graduation they were so busy with everything but organising to have some nice shots taken. So now, two years later as things have settled a bit, they hired their graduation gowns again to have some nice portraits of their special time taken by me.

Luckily Ryan studied law so that we had access to the law school which is just beautiful and filled with memories for so many of you.

So lets show you some of their favourite images:

Bianca Andrew - Opera Singer

Remember one of my recent posts of Christina, an opera singer? A friend and fellow opera singer Bianca saw her images and just loved them and had the brilliant idea to want to have some gorgeous shots of herself too! That's when she contacted me, the New Zealand's famous opera singer photographer Sabrina Hyde! :-)

Bianca brought some very nice gowns along and was just a pleasure to photograph. She is full of character which is something that comes through in her images. One of her strength alongside the actual singing is the talent in actual stage performance.

But see for yourself!

The amazing Mussel Expedition around the Sounds

Hi there, I received a booking for a wedding in the Queen Charlotte Sounds the other day which brought me back to my memories of the amazing Mussel expedition I was lucky to have been part of a few months back...

I was asked if I would like to photograph Southern Ocean's mussel factory as well as come along on a trip to the Queen Charlotte Sounds to visit the mussel farms where they source their mussels. Well, I was already all in so was amazed when there was more to come!

This was topped up by an al-fresco luncheon at the gorgeous Furneaux Lodge which was again followed by a the charter plane ride back to Wellington to put on a some nice evening attire to attend a private 9-course degustation dinner at and with Martin Bosley.

So lets wrap this story into some photographs I took on the day of photography heaven.

First stop: Southern Ocean's Mussel Factory in Christchurch. Luckily they have got away without damages and only minor injuries from the recent earth quakes so that they are still going strong to deliver shock-frozen mussels to the world that taste as fresh as if you just fished them out of the water of the Queen Charlotte Sounds...

Christina

Christina is an up and coming opera singer who asked me to take some images of her which she could use for promo material and as nice headshots. Like me, Christina is a red head which made it feel almost like a crime to lose the colour by having some black/white shots, so most are in colour.

Christina decided to wear her bright red dress as well as some matching lipstick which turned her into a real opera goddess you'd love to see and listen to on stage...

Opera is romantic and so are these images..

How to survive an Earthquake - Please read and save your life!

This Blog entry is for once not about the photographs I have taken but about the way we think to be able to safe our lives when an earthquake strikes. Sometimes we blindly follow protocols that have no basis in fact. Most of us were taught to hide under desks or in door frames in the event an earthquake, and based on the information below as well as my own common sense, I cannot believe I have not challenged this before.
