I had a fun-filled graduation session recently with Judeena and her family. Judeena was celebrating her graduation with a conjoint Arts and Engineering degree from Auckland University.
At a recent family photo session at the beach, Michael joyfully lifted baby Aveia up into the air. It was a lovely moment, and when I was processing this image, I noticed some gorgeous little details. I love how you can see the sand, backlit beautifully by the late afternoon sun, flying off Aveia's feet. 
During my portrait session with Mark and Megan yesterday, I was reminded of the joy of being a kid on a beautiful winter's afternoon... thanks guys!

At our recent workshop we played with slow shutterspeed... spinning, zooming and generally dancing with our cameras, painting with light, and incorporating flash. I also got the chance to be the model, which was fun! I have to say, though, that I'm probably better behind the camera than in front of it.
My pics of gorgeous Zumba instructor Carolina Arias are being seen around the world - in this case, Chile.
We recently held a workshop for photographers called 'Mastering Light'. For part of the afternoon, we photographed our lovely model Idette and played with backlighting, flare and off-camera flash mixed with an underexposed background... lots of fun!

Last week, amongst all the horrible weather, I ventured out to the beach with Heather and Jared, and their sweet daughters T'Keiyah and Aiyanah.
The light was exquisite, and the girls took great pleasure in getting completely soaked.

A shot of gorgeous Idette, from our Indoor Portraits workshop yesterday. In this image, a mixture of window light and flash has been used.
It was such a pleasure photographing the beautiful Goundar Family at the beach yesterday. I have serious sari envy - why don't I have a cultural dress that is so vibrant and feminine, and moves so beautifully? 
A new series of photography workshop have been scheduled for May - July 2011 - click here for more information.
I have just attended the wonderful annual conference of the Photographic Society of New Zealand, and had a blast! Kudos to the all the organisers. I attended splendid workshops and listened to inspiring speakers. This time, I was not a presenter, which made me feel like I was on holiday.

I had a blast this morning photographing Zumba instructor Carolina. She really knows how to move! 
I travelled up to Waipu Cove recently to photograph Leasa and Chris and their three stunning daughters, Brooke, Madison and Jamie.
