Drinkwater Family Portrait Session


We had a fun shoot with Christine and Warren, and their three gorgeous daughters Jenna, Sarah and Chloe. Cornwall Park in the springtime is stunning, and although it is always busy on a sunny Sunday afternoon, we found some nice quiet spots to take photos.


Wai-Poi Family Portrait Session


It was a special occasion when the Wai-Poi family came together recently for Vi and Geoff's 50th wedding anniversary. Some family members came from Australia to celebrate, including the newest member of the family, little Lachlan. We really enjoyed meeting everyone, and getting the chance to photograph all the precious family members at the Winter Garden, Auckland Domain.

Loomans Family Portrait Session


It was a blustery day at Muriwai (to put it mildly) but nothing could dampen the energy of the Loomans Family - Trish, Brian, Karl and Gage. What an awesome shoot guys! The black sand sticking to our faces afterwards was totally worth it.


Kathy and Graeme's engagement shoot


We had a fun and romantic shoot with Kathy and Graeme at Mairangi Bay. The spot has special significance because Graeme proposed to Kathy here. I'm really looking forward to their wedding on November 8, it promises to be a great family occasion (and I'm starting to think... bride and groom at the polling booth... that could be a great photo opportunity!)

Rylee, Jules and Michael


I first had the pleasure of photographing beautiful little Rylee when she was 5 months old. She's now 15 months old and cuter than ever. We captured some lovely family moments with Rylee's Mum and Dad, Jules and Michael, just before they headed over to Brisbane to live.



Renay and Julian's engagement shoot


It was showery and blowing a gale at North Head, Devonport for our recent engagement shoot with gorgeous couple Renay and Julian. We managed to find some sheltered spots for some romantic shots. Renay and Julian... it was such a pleasure photographing you, I can't wait to photograph your wedding!


Make-over for womenz.co.nz

I recently photographed Jane Taylor's make-over for the website womenz.

For her brand-new super-glamorous look, Jane got a fabulous colour and cut at Headstart Salon in Albany, and her colours, clothes styling and make-up done by Christine Fromont. It was fun to photograph the transformation, and the wonderful end result!



Douglas Family Portrait Session


I had a great time photographing the Douglas Family - Rose and Phil, Aaron, Jamie, Kelly and Hugh - at their lovely home. The boys were a lot of fun, and we got some great action shots while Kelly and Hugh played the drums.



Lisa wins 'People Photographer of the Year 2008'


I spent an exciting and stimulating five days in Tauranga for the biggest event in NZ professional photographers' calendars - the three-day Iris Awards followed by the two-day Infocus Conference, all run by the NZIPP (New Zealand Institute of Professional Photography). I was absolutely thrilled to win five silver awards and three bronze awards, and then be named 'People Photographer of the Year'.
