Real friends are people you can see again after many years and take up where you left off.  Tiff it was a delight to see you again and to meet your beautiful little girl. I loved this shoot it made my heart sing.  Enjoy!!

Ciara you are growing up so fast.  You truly are a  paper bag princess,  and for those of you who have not read this book to your daughters,  then you really should.  Happy Birthday my beautiful daughter.

I loved this shoot.  Kakanui beach is one of my favourite places.  Just before the sun goes there is nothing better than running around on the beach.  Thanks for letting me spend some time   with your wonderful family it was a pleasure.

Wow it has been a while since I blogged and I have a lot to blog about, my studio is opening soon,  I have been ordering huge canvases and laying flooring and buying the most gorgeous newborn hats and petty skirts.  Look out next week on the blog for a sneak peek of the studio before it opens.  But today I am blogging about a shoot with a great group of people who were great sports and made the best out of a very chilly and wet day.

My girls love to twirl.  Whenever they get a new dress the first thing they do is check out the twirl factor.  We now know to buy only dresses that can be twirled.  Here is Caity in one of here twirly dresses.  Not many days left on the photo a day challenge.  Why on earth I choose the busy month of the year I am not sure.  This was taken a few weeks ago and pulled out of archives to be blogged tonight.  Hope you like it.  Caity will be super excited in the morning to find out it was her that got blogged.  I know there are a lot of people reading this blog at the moment so how about getting a little brave and leaving a comment for Caity to read when she gets up in the morning.

Busy crazy busy day.  All the kids at home bored and ready for school.  I am processing Wedding photos and will be for the next few weeks as we are right in the middle of Wedding Season and summer (yeah right).  Here are the two little princesses again from R& G’s wedding making another guest appearance.

He had it planned all along he snuck his hand down and splashed big time.  My youngest son  is my cheekiest yet look out world!!

Wow what a busy day today, with a wedding on tommorow and lots to organise at home I didn’t get my photo a day taken today.  But, I did choose this and processed this today so hope this counts.  Tommorow one of the gorgeous couples from my engagement shoots is getting married I can’t wait its going to be a great day!!  Here is my eldest daughter she loves the sea, any water realy.  I am finding when I am not doing client work I realy prefer to do black and whites.

Fairy God mothers in our house are very special people they are our children’s God parents but due to the dramatic and imaginative nature of our children they have become known as “Fairy God Mothers”.   So yesterday we had our eldest sons Fairy God mother come to visit and have a sleep over.  Of course this had to be the photo of the day with a little reluctance from the fairy god mother in question!!  Thanks for being a good sport and just look at how happy your godson is!!!

Wow what a busy day, we had some very dear friends come and visit so a little bit of a late night last night and then a busy day with the kids down at the beach today all 7 of them.  So technically this photo was not taken today (it was taken a few days ago).  However it was processed today so does that still count??
