As a present for the last 2 years in a row, i have done photoshoots with my gorgeous ( almost tween ) niece.... with a special friend invited along for some fun aswell, as you can imagine.......there were loads of giggles............. 9/10 yr old girls, thats all they do , right ??? hehe....and pose ofcourse !!!
we went for a soft, vintage-ish feel to this one............ and utilised my vintage suitcase and armchair......
where as last year was all about the surroundings of downtown auckland, very urban , modern clothes....... cool buildings........... this time we were at a very picturesque park in lovely coatesville, and i was pleasantly surprised that there was still traces of autumn leaves, which i wasnt expecting at all ...............
this is my gorgeous niece.....look at all that hair !!!!! and those legs that go forever !!!!
we were running under cover ( thank goodness for the gorgeous coatesville hall ) every 15 mins when the rain would come across.........i am so surprised we didnt all fall flat on our faces !!! it was muddy, slippery, you name it....... but when the rain went away.......... the light was devine !!!!!
and i pulled my 70-200 f 2.8 out of hibernation ....... i know i know........ i'm sure most of you photographers will be saying....what !! why dont you use it all the time??? well i dont know........ its heavy !!! and i was put off using it after doing weddings with it.......... but i had such fun with it on this session, i think it might just make an appearance more often..............
did i say giggles ?????
oh and the umbrella blew inside out a few times too !!!!
Happy birthday to my lovely chrissie xoxoxo
i hope you had a great time, and love how beeeautiful you look !!! ( and your gorgeous friend polly too ! )
big hugs
