road trip family sessions – Melbourne to Sydney!

peta mazey — Mon, 29 Apr 2013 08:53:23 +0000

You may have heard that this June I am going to Australia to stay with my bestie Kate, while I’m there we have plans to shoot some kids fashion stuff, photograph some cool Melbourne families and drink lots of chai and her amazing coffees.

We have decided it would be super fun to do a road trip together, from Melbourne to Syndey, via some cute families. We are offering special road trip packages to families in between, including families in both big smokes. Our route will be determined by the families we visit, so don’t be shy, email! We’d love to come visit.x

It was brought to my attention that my Photoshop actions site has been down for possibly over a month! Big whoops! It’s all back up and running now, click here to go visit. So sorry if you have tried to visit over the past month!

While I’m on the subject of editing tools, I have been hard at work on some lightroom presets with light leaks and simple colour and bw edits. Check back soon for more info. All of these photos were edited with them

splash!

Chloe and Matt’s amazing wedding weekend ended with a splash. Literally! Here are a few fun shots from the day after the big day!

chloe & matt – taupo, new zealand wedding

I first met Chloe when we were 6 or 7 years old. We went through primary school together, then took off on different paths into the grown up world. Whenever I’d bump into her it would be like no time had passed – she was still that warm, kind, bubbly Chloe of my school days. When she approached me about photographing her wedding, I knew it would be amazing. But I couldn’t have imagined just how spectacular it turned out to be. At every turn were smiles that were just about bursting with joy and love for a couple who have clearly earned some beautiful friendships.

The wedding rolled over three days on Matt’s amazing family farm, and it was a true DIY spectacle – Guests stayed in the coolest make-shift campsite (check out the cloud heart over the tents, 100% real!), details were lovingly put together with the help of talented friends, and the ceremony was officiated by Chloe’s proud Grandma and Matt’s family minister. I could go on for days about how incredible it all was, but I’m better with pictures than words…

Congrats Chloe and Matt, you were made for each other x

Just some lovely words that I thought went nicely with this image, from Gibran’s The Prophet

Next time I pop my head in here, it will be with some images from a seriously magical wedding. Can’t wait to share x

At Home With Lola

Lola was all sugar and light for me. Such a joy to spend a few hours with. Not only was she a little darling, but their home was a dream to shoot in… so amazing.

Dover & Madden 2013

peta mazey — Mon, 04 Feb 2013 20:28:08 +0000

It’s been nearly 2 years exactly since I shot these beautiful Dover & Madden hats… and they just keep getting beautiful-er. The detail is incredible in person, and the hats are just to soft and cozy! I’m excited to see what this year has in store for Dover & Madden, a little birdy has filled me in on a few of their plans and they sound pretty amazing.

For now though, here is my gorgeous little cousin, Charlotte, rocking her first modeling gig like a pro.

On the farm

peta mazey — Wed, 30 Jan 2013 23:59:51 +0000

These kids are a bit awesome. Between them they ride ponies and motorbikes, they breed and sell bunnies and quails, they hunt and fish and cook and have plans and dreams to do even more great things. Some of you long time visitors might remember them from way back in the beginnings of this blog when they featured often. Boy have they grown!!

I mostly just got photos of the little lady, the boys were off doing boy stuff.
A little family portrait with ma and pa…

I told you they had grown!.. This was the first time I photographed them, nearly 6 years ago. I guess time does that to a person.

A Birthday Present

peta mazey — Fri, 18 Jan 2013 01:38:50 +0000

For my cousins birthday, her hubby dressed himself and his son up and sneakily met me at the beach for a mini photo session with the aim of getting one great shot to frame and and wrap.

This was The One

But we ended up with a few more than one shot…

Happy Birthday, Victoria! I Hope your day is as lovely as you are x
