Whangarei Newborn Photographer - Sweet Bundle

I was invited to photograph this sweet wee newborn girl in her own home, just a bit easier for Mum and Dad with two busy young boys to occupy. But Dad had it sussed, taking them for a walk while Mum and I focused on their new little sister for a while.

I also had the pleasure of photographing their second wee boy when he was a newborn, and it was great to meet him again..... although I'm not so sure the feeling was mutual :-)   I couldn't get over just how alike the two handsome boys were.

This wee lady was a dream to photograph, just needing a little patience to get the poses that I was after. She never cried, just now and again waking enough to decide that she really didn't want her hand under her cheek, but she'd prefer it to wave around in front of her face....... and it was great to suck on when it got within sucking distance :)

This one was done by special request, to match the image we took of their son.

Whangarei Portrait Photographer - Special

I was honoured to be asked by this family to take their family portrait photos. Little Miss K has been playing hockey with my youngest daughter for a number of years, and she has the very good fortune of having devoted grandparents who come to virtually all our games.

The special occasion that this family was celebrating on the day that we took their photos was their 50th Wedding Anniversary. This couple are incredably inspiring with the amount of voluntary involvement that they have had in their community - from Surf Lifesaving to hockey. And I'm sure what I know about this couple is just the tip of the iceburg.......

Whangarei Newborn Photographer - Just adored

It is always such a pleasure to have clients return to have the next wee addition to their family photographed. I photographed big sister 2 years ago, and oh boy, has she grown and changed! Gone is the dark hair...... replaced by such gorgeous blonde ringlets :-) And it's funny how personalities of newborns often remain so true - Miss O was wide awake for her newborn session, right until the very end. And as a toddler she is still very bright eyed and bushy tailed, and loved running around after my cats...... thanks Grandma for helping to entertain her.

Mr A was a true star for his first photo session, sleeping the entire session! He didn't even mind big sister giving him those rushed rough 2 second cuddles. He is one very chilled out little boy!
