"As a qualified Midwife I have a particular passion for photographing maternity/ pregnancy and newborns.

I love capturing those special times in people's lives that mean so much - from engagement shoots to weddings, the nervous expectation of maternity to the sheer delight and love of a newborn. And then having the pleasure to capture the personalities and changes as a child grows".

Whangarei Newborn Photogrpher - Sweet Rolls

This 5 day old baby girl was just so divine with her sweet rolls. She is the youngest newborn that I have photographed yet.......... and she slept through almost the entire session. In fact she only woke because we had to clean her up - and that was entirely my fault! I had squished her into a basket, and sometimes things just have to squish out!
 
With being so young she happily tolerated positions that older babies find a bit uncomfortable. So she let me play. Thank you Mum and Dad for bringing her to me straight away.
 
 
 
 
 

Three of a kind

These three boys must be some of the best behaved and co-operative kids that I have photographed. I'm really glad they were able to come out to me for some casual pre-Xmas portraits.
 
Mum must be very proud.......... she deserves to be!

Sweet Girls

I am so glad that I managed to squeeze in this wee lady, she was such an angel for me. Mum asked for her session to be 'girly', which I love :-) So we got to have a play with a few hats and headbands. At 9 days old she was just so sweet, with such gorgeous clear skin. This mummy sure knows how to make beautiful girls..............

Bright-eyed Miss B

This little lady traveled a long way to see me for her first photoshoot. So by the time she'd slept in the car and had a feed she was wide awake, and it was play time. And that was fine by me, it gave me a chance to get some lovely wakeful shots.
 
After some talking and playing it was time for a top-up and then sleep time. And it didn't take too long and she was happily snoozing. Such an angel :-)

Blonde Babe

I simply adore babies with hair, especially blonde hair! Probably because all three of my children were blonde, but they had virtually no hair when they were born. This wee guy had such beautiful long mousy-blonde hair (my kids had about this much by the time they were two!).
 
Mr J was a delight. He loved his hands up by his face - but not so much where I wanted them to be :-)
In the end we both compromised. Ha ha, we all know that newborns rule.............
 
 
 
 

Shannon & Donovan

A typical Northland day.......... one week out the forecast was for a sunny day..... 4 days out it was forecast for occassional showers...... 1 day out and the forecast was for rain with some thunder, easing to showers in afternoon. And Shannon must be one of the most chilled out brides that I have come across! A beautiful beach wedding was planned, and what a stunning location at Pataua North on private family land.
 
Luck was definitely on their side. It bucketed down twice while the girls were getting ready, and then cleared for the ceremony. The clouds made quite a statement for the bridal photos. I thoroughly enjoyed photographing this couple and their wedding day, they were simply stunning and so easy to photograph.
 
So here is just a quick peek...........

Busy

It doesn't rain, it pours!

The blog has been pretty quiet lately, with a number of parents requesting not to have photos published on-line. And that is fine.

This week I have got somewhat snowed under - a wedding, a school and two newborns all within 5 days ........ plus trying to find time to swap all my programs onto a new computer, and organise it to how I like with my workflow. Getting there :-)  Now just need a few extra hours in each day to get all this editing done!

Whew!!!

Newborns and a wedding preview to follow shortly (hopefully)
