Last month I agreed to do a pro bono photo shoot for Assistance Dogs New Zealand. This sitting was not your average photo shoot, as the subjects were three autistic children and their very special helper dogs. I suppose I would describe these beautiful animals as guardian angels for autistic children, providing a friend/companion who is loving, loyal, obedient and who loves them unconditionally, but also provides the parents with a second pair of hands and eyes.
I have and continue to photograph autistic children at several of Wellingtons Kindergarten and childcare centres and use my favoured approach to the photography of these unique children (patience, patience, patience). Thankfully we are now operating from a large natural light studio, which provides a lighting and stand free environment for all of the younger children to run around in, obstacle free, and believe me we used every inch of our studio space for this shoot. It was a great environment to see the dogs actually working, as they provided an anchor to where we needed the children to stand and the children just did what they did naturally, exploring the environment, cuddling, holding the dogs and following them around wherever we needed them to be.
All these smiles were genuine and we got some great images for Assistance Dogs NZ, all because of these wonderful dogs and their trainer Julie Hancox. – - – http://www.assistancedogstrust.org.nz

Well it has been our first week in the new studio and I cannot say how much of a difference it has made to my whole approach to my portraiture. Since Studio Bluefish closed I have been shooting, it seems, with one hand was tied behind my back. Don’t get me wrong, we really got some amazing portraits at our old location, but it has been difficult at times to get the natural and playful look to my images with a roll of paper hanging off the wall and less than three meters for the children to run on before being too close to the lens to focus. I was really tired of just “making do”
The new Outwide House location has brought excitement for where we are and what we do, re-kindled the creative fires and given Penny and I focus and determination to be one of Wellingtons finest portrait and wedding photography studios.
Pop in for for a visit and join in with our excitement. You are all welcome! Also watch this space for details on our grand opening weekend and some more exiting news coming very soon from Inspire Photography.

Well, I have just been away for a week and popped in to the studio space to check on its progress. Wow is all I could say. Things are really taking shape there now and you can get more of a feel for the space because of the walls giving us the shape/outline of what we imagined. We are getting very excited.

Firstly I must apologise for not posting any portraiture for ages. It seems that within a blink of an eye we are reaching the end of another year and I have not uploaded any of my work. With this in mind I am going to try and showcase some of the beautiful portraits sittings we have taken and try to update Facebook with our work on a regular basis.
Here are a few portraits taken on location last summer and considering it was a blazing hot day, we managed to get beautiful lighting for these photographs and some great personality rich shots of the kids.

Recently I had the enjoyable job of photographing Miranda Harcourt and Stuart McKenzie at their Wellington home for the New Zealand Woman’s Weekly. I have photographed Miranda at home before, however this was the first time I had the pleasure of photographing Stuart too. The shoot coincided with the National tour of their show Biography of my Skin, an entertaining and astute production receiving rave reviews. You can see from the photos Miranda and Stuart don’t take themselves too seriously; I particularly like the image co-starring one of their chooks. This is one funky couple.

One of the perks of being a photographer is meeting a variety of people from all walks of life, and even being able to peek inside their lives. Recently Penny had the opportunity to photograph Mark Paston and his family for the New Zealand Woman’s Weekly. Mark had recently returned with the All Whites from their hugely successful campaign at the football World Cup in South Africa. Mark and his wife Amy have a wonderful little boy, Jack, and the two hours spent with them was relaxed and fun. Not only is Mark an exceptional goalie but he is also a humble and generous man, kindly donating his anthem jacket (and signing a football) for the local Special Olympics basketball team, where Penny is a volunteer. Many thanks to Mark and family!
