Northland Photographer - Beautiful Families

Boys make me laugh....... with their untamed antics and delightful lack of pretense. Who wants to sit or stand still to get their photo taken when there is so much to explore, see and investigate. And the more we try to make it fun and exciting, the more they see straight through us!

So in the end Master S and Master E rule.......... and just as well because they, of course, knew best (aren't their images awesome, and so full of personality!)

Whangarei Photographer - family

Whenever I need to do a light check for my studio setup or have a play with some new idea my Littlest Angel is always there to lend a hand.

This is what happens when she is asked to 'strike a pose'..........

Whangarei Photographer - All grown up!

Doesn't time fly! My oldest baby is about to turn 16.

We set this studio shoot up at home because my girl needed some updated images for her dance project and exams. This was the first chance I have had to have a play with one of my two new backdrops.

Whangarei Newborn Photographer - Mr Wakeful!

Well there is no two ways about this - Mr J was hard work! At one stage he had Mum with her finger in his mouth, Dad holding his feet in position, and me trying to get his hands and camera in the right position. It's not that he was particularly unhappy during his shoot, he just wanted to stretch out, do his own thing and stay wide awake. He was acting much more like a 4 week old rather than his 12 days.

He was scheduled to have his session at 9 days old, but we had to delay his shoot for a couple of days due to a swollen eye. So at 12 days old he should still have been snoozy and easy. But he decided there was way too much going on to sleep. But we still managed to get some great shots. And he was such a tease...... just as I thought we had finally done it, one eye would slowly open and then, yup.... he was wide awake again!

Whangarei Newborn Photographer - Captivating Miss M

I have been so lucky with the newborns that have come to me lately. But this wee lady would have to be the best at letting me do just about anything. Even the best newborn gets to the stage where they have had enough posing. But this little lady did not complain until she got hungry - and as Dad had said, as long she has a full tummy she doesn't utter a peep. And sure enough, once she was full it was straight back to her photoshoot :)

And gorgeous....... did I mention just how gorgeous she was? So here she is, at all of 9 days old........

..... this is Dad's idea of planking.........

And Mum had some definite ideas of how she wanted her daughter photographed with Dad.

Thank you Mum and Dad for bringing your wee girl to see me. I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know her.
