high winds, airplanes and big guns ......

I always love who i get to meet through this job........... and all the clients i meet that i become friends with ........... 

but there is something extra special when you get to photograph good friends , you have known for ages......... and i have the chance to really let their personalities shine through............... this was one of those times !

as you will see , we had some fun!!!!  ...  i am so excited i finally managed to squeeze them in for a family session !!  long overdue !............

This was a very fun session............ it was a super windy day, and where did we choose to go ........... on top of North head ! it was wicked ! .......... i think we actually ran around it a couple of times, sooooo funny !! purely following little Boston.......... he was on form...... and we followed his lead..........

from 'being' airplanes down the windy alley............ to rolling down the hills.......... it was a non stop session............ i think we all had a good workout .....hahaha....................
we managed to grab Boss for a few semi still ones in the tunnels etc.........and then we were off again !
thats where my background as a sports photographer, always comes in handy....... photographing , running......photographing....... hahaha...fast trigger finger !

cute little monkey , he had a ball !!!!

then we found the grassy hill........... so down he slides........haha...... in view one minute...gone the next !

enjoy your sneak peeks Mel and Clint  ....love you guys xoxoxo

well, here we are........ i have been an editing machine ............i was getting a bit behind with editing, with some family things we are experiencing right now............ but here i am............. and i have edited a few of these to this beautiful little family can see our trip to muriwai wasnt a complete wasted trip !!! although little lady wasnt having a bar of it....heheh...... how can that little darling NOT look cute !!  

i had to get some shots of these gorgeous wee legs !!! how cute is she !!!!
we were thinking beachy shots/ black sand etc........ but here is a prime example of how you cant 'plan' too much when it  comes to little ones....... she HATED the sand...... so we ended up on the small reserve by the carpark .....lol.............

For you , willy and lisa........ i hope you enjoy your little previews...........

i had the pleasure of hanging out with this little family in the domain, one sunny day.........

here's just a wee peek ..............

we wandered around all over and came across a few different back drops............. that little cutie pie, was such a treasure !!

just a wee sneak peek for you guys....... i had fun hanging out with you shar and brian...... and that delicious little lilly.........xoxooxox see you soon , sam

just a wee ramble...........

i was thinking i hardly do just have a good old ramble on here..........so you're gonna get one!
i feel like the last few weeks have been consumed with me making my website....... so inbetween all the editing i have been doing, i have also been doing my NEW website........ as some of you may know.......... well, i tell you , i now know why the designers take so long....hahahaha....crikey......... and not only the time, but my god, i changed my mind so much........oooh i like that way better....ohhh no , actually................. i think its safe to say my husband...aka tall man.... really tunes out and gets a hazey look in his eyes whenever i start talking about the site, pricing packages, and generally anything to do with that !!! and fair enough to , it consumed me !!!!!!! ...... but now its done and waiting to go live.......... i can relax............. a little, and concentrate on the editing and my lovely clients waiting...........( not that i ever stopped editing....i just felt like i was always on my website admin)

easter was good here.....quite a weekend of visitors, which i love !!!
we had the 'easter egg hunt' on sunday , and the kids went mad....it was hilarious...and although they didnt eat nearly as many eggs as i expected them too.....the excitement of the day and all the visitors was their sugar high !

sooo..... with another cuppa tea........ i am here , blogging......... and thinking how chilly it is today !!! the sun is shining , yes....but wow.....its definately autumn here now !! chilllllllllyyyyyyyyy.........but i love autumn colours for photo sessions!!!

when i daydream, its generally about 2 things........................ my dream studio space....( which i will show you one i love !!!!!) and going on holiday !!! hahahahaa.....
here is a studio i found .....how drool worthy is this !!!!!!

she is in the states.....http://jenthompsonphotography.com/#home/  and is a very lucky lady !!!!  one day !! its in my 5 yr plan !! hehe

i always end up talking about ''work''' ............ maybe as my work is my passion...........and now i sound like a website........... hahahaa...... i am constantly thinking and researching ideas for packaging, and different ways to offer presentation pieces for clients...............so its great to keep my mind working............ and dont worry, not for one moment, do i forget my kids.....hahhaah...i'm typing this with little easter egg eating fingers wrapped around one arm....as she wants another one !!!!!! oooh now i am getting beaten !!!! time to log off................

wow its good to vent.... and just realease my thoughts into the universe............. so universe.....as boring or as interesting as they are........... HERE YOU GO !!!
