This photo I shot for the incredibly sweet and lovely free range baby clothing line has made it into the pages of this months good magazine. It’s always fun to see my photos in print! Make sure  you check out the free range baby store, it’s full of cute vintage themed goodness for little ones. I can’t wait to shoot some stuff from the upcoming lines. So inspiring.

With working on the book and other jobs that I can’t share photos from yet, the blog has been a pretty quiet place lately! Hopefully I will be stopping by again sooner rather than later with some new shots to post!

Such a sweet, fun family! By the time we were able to get together for our session we were missing the oldest sister (an ocean away in Australia). It was a little crisp, but Wellington put on a beautiful winter day for us. How pretty are all those girls?!

Last week I spent a couple of days in Auckland for a commercial shoot. Amanda and her little prince were the perfect hosts.  Despite a few winter colds, we had a great time and even managed to squeeze in a few frames at the very last light. I love the love they have for one another, such a sweet pair. They are off to Belgium for a few months at the end of the week. Travel safe, guys! Can’t wait to see you when you are back xo

A pair of cuties from a recent session. Their energy was contagious, such fun little gigglers!

Icecream is a pretty failsafe icebreaker…

Check out Lulu’s four-year-old style in full effect!

I loved how loving they were with each other… and how silly…

how adorable are they?!

The last few days have been beautiful and sunny, a nice break from the wintery Wellington weather we have been having lately! So we made the most of it and played outside in the grass for a bit. Isn’t little Mikayla just so sweet?!

This Saturday I spent the day with a bunch of lovely crafty people at craft 2.0, held at the dowse art gallery in lower hutt. If you haven’t been, and live in the area, make sure you pop in for a look next time, there is lots of loveliness to spend your pocket money on!

If you were a stall holder, feel free to link to your website in the comments, Sue will have more photos from me for you to see soon.

After four months away, my ”two week trip” to Melbourne has come to an end. It is so nice to be home, I will miss Melbourne and my lovely friends there, but  they will all still be there when I go back, and I am sure I will be back before too long!

The weekend before I left these lovely friends let me squish into the car with them and the pooch and hit the road to take in some beautiful Australian coastal scenery. It was such fun, as always. Check out their take on the weekend on their blog
