Edie is one of the coolest, sweetest and confident little girls I have met and Ira is your typical three year old boy; you know, inquisitive, full of fun, laughter and doting towards his big sister, but that is also what makes him so special. Ira is a courageous young boy who suffers with a condition called Apert Syndrome. Apert Syndrome is a very rare craniofacial syndrome, which means he’s had to undergo about 15 surgeries ranging from minor to major operations to ensure his brain has enough room. Apert Syndrome affects about 1 in 150,000 and doesn’t affect mental ability (aside from an initial delay due to the set back of being in hospital so young).
I first met Ira and Edie during one of our many childcare centre photo shoots. After getting some some great photographs of them both at the childcare fundraiser, it was great to welcome Ira and family into our studio for a family portrait sitting. This was one of my favorite sittings for the year because of the energy and spirit that Edie and Ira brought to the shoot, the love that was apparent in every interaction between the family and in the amazing images which we captured of everyone involved.
Ira has still got some major surgeries ahead, but in spite of it all, and some kids (and adults) honest stares – he is a confident, happy, popular and resilient little fellow. No doubt I will be seeing Ira and family again.
“I just wanted to say THANK YOU for the amazing photos of our family. You captured happiness and light in the kids which is just priceless.” – Maria B

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

I recently photographed kiwi actor Melanie Lynskey for New Zealand’s Woman’s Day magazine. Melanie is a warm, kind and friendly down to earth kiwi girl, very cool to think how much she has achieved in the Hollywood scene. We had fun taking the photos at Wellington’s boutique Hotel Ohtel, the best little Hotel in Wellington.

When Lachlan was all of two hours old I had the honour of holding him, when he was three weeks old I had the privilege of photographing him. So tiny and perfect. It also meant that I could create the album that I had been planning all along. That of Tanja, Jarrod and Liana and then the little family once Lachlan came along. A perfect keepsake for little Lachie.

It was a gorgeous day under the huge old trees in the gardens of Ruth Pretty’s in Te Horo for Julie and Seby’s wedding. It is a magical setting ideal for fun and creative photography. Once on location the bridal party had no reason to leave the venue, which meant less time away from their guests. We photographed well until the dancing started and I am sure the party went on in to the wee hours, when we left everyone was having a ball.
