a little bit of kiwi summer...........

well, i think this session deserves to be on the blog............ so i feel like i have finally had time to 'blog it' ..........
alot of thought goes into each session i do , so that its personal to you ........... your family............your kids...........you dont want to look at something on your wall where you think......oooh thats really not us....all stiff and still........... lol............ so i had a lot of fun when i was set the 'challenge' from a mummy wanting 'kiwiana'......... i straight away pictured a really old caravan park.camp ground.......... and especially seen as cool old caravans are SOOOOO  hot right now............ hehhee....
so i scoped out a few places............and found the perfect spot..................and i think...........well i hope..........i managed to get a look of retro / kiwiana / old kiwi summers.............. in to our session..........you be the judge...............

the chance finding of an old tyre swing , was a bonus.......... and i love that the caravans were still visible in the background..............
i had seen this precious red caravan when i was ''scoping''out the camp ground...and fell in love with it.....as did the mum of these two gorgeous ones............. and we asked the incredibly sweet old man who was in it, if he minded if we took some photos.............. bless him , he thought we meant of him......hehe.....but he very kindly said ofcourse we could.........
we started heading back to the car...........and came across this awesome fence, and old school bus shelter........... the colours , i just love............. and well, as you can see.........these kids worked it !!!!! they were awesome !!!!

so lucky to have so many cool backdrops at our disposal..................................
but i love the challenge ................ and i love the challenge when told what ''theme'' or look or personality we are going for ..............

enjoy

gorgeous carter and louie............

I know i havent done some blog love for since before xmas.........but lets get back into it......... and i can start babbling..............
there is one thing any photographer knows and loves.........when a family asks you back......... time and time again, its the hugest form of flattery.......... and this lovely session was no exception............ i have now photographed this gorgeous wee man , 3 times............ and this time got to meet his new baby brother aswell............
i could have stayed and played all afternoon.......... what little characters.....loved it !!!
you might recognise this wee man as one of the "ittiBitti" models from last years shoot at the beach........
we started inside on mummy and daddy's bed.....any kids fave place....and when told to 'jump'.... well....enough said really.............. we had a huge amount of laughs, this little guy is quite the entertainer....and loves having his photo taken....as you can see.....plus i am nice....hehe.... and thankfully....nothing to be afraid of....lol.
we headed out the gorgeous deck area after....for some car races .....and baby in a basket action.... and then back inside to get little louie by himself..................perfect lighting and a perfect evening for it ..........

to finish it of nicely, throw in a beautiful mummy ............................ i ADORE the ones with mummy in them....and especially LOVE the one where mum and bubs are having cuddles and carter is sitting there watching me...................... CUUUTE with a captial C !!
thanks so much laura and harley, for inviting me to your home to photograph your beautiful boys...... i hope you enjoy your preview.............. ( i just noticed i put the same photo twice...ooops )

much love
