Life in blueberry farm

This is a little video that was made by Jordi, a lovely spanish wwoofer who came to stay with us at the Blueberry Farm last year. It shows you the back grounds of where the studio is located and a little bit about the goofy personalities that make up the place. Hope you enjoy....we sure enjoyed making it.

Katy Perry ft. Snoop Dogg "California Gurls" Official Music Video HD

This video was one of the ones that cemented that I really wanted to do Pin Up Photography. I adore Katy Perry's sense of humour! I think it is fantastic that she is the daughter of two ministers. Classic.

Gorgeous Grace | Wellington Newborn Photographer



I had the privilege of meeting Kerry Graeme and Amie when Grace was still neatly packaged inside.  It was challenging for the ADD aspects of myself to do the Pregnancy photo shoot when Amie was so obviously stealing the show.  She was just so darn cute.  But we finally knocked it out when I could be brought back to Kerry...but as you can see Amie featured in most of the pregnancy shoots as well.  When gorgeous little Grace made an appearance on the scene, I got to spend time with her as a Lactation Consultant first then I got my lens turned on her.  The shot above of her asleep on Kerry just makes me want to cry she is so beautiful.

The music track can be downloaded from the Expedia website.  It is Tend to Me.  I love this song!!!

The Gorgeous Fairy Trina and her handsome  husband Greg from Wellington came to visit us on the farm for a photoshoot with their gorgeous twins Zavier (Zuzu) and  Nazir (Nunu) and the forever happy even with a gunky eye baby Kasra.

Trina is a popular Children's party Fairy based out of Wellington you can find out more about her and book her for your children's parties by going to http://www.fairytrina.com

When Trina came into the house to do her ordering session my assistant said to me. " It is like the room lit up when she came in."  I have to agree completely.
