Had the most amazing time with the Star Jam crew. The love was just palpable in the air. If you have a friend with special needs make sure you get them involved with these guys or if you have a musical talent they would love extra volunteers I am sure. I was jacked up on wonderfulness when Sam and I left this shoot. My son even decided he wanted to assist them with their end of the year production. So much fun!

Dark White Goddess | Wellington Illustrator

One of my favourite artists of all time is Tamara de Lempicka.  Sophia's eyes are so amazing she reminds me of a Lempicka model so I Lempickaed her :).

Soulscape Series | Derek Elvy

I have had it in my head for a long time that I wanted to do Soulscapes.  Images that combined my nurses intuition, empathy, and vision with my artistic vision...however until I did the Weta Traineeship I really didn't have the skills to produce my vision.....but I got better :).  So I asked my friend Derek if he would be my guinea pig for the first full scale soulscape and being the Avant Gard Guru that he is he thought it would be fun so he let me. This is the result...he described it as very Dante and he loved it which made me so happy.  A bit darker and wilder than normal but also incredibly hopeful as well as I see it.

Isn't Eva just gorgeous.  I just love this shot of her.  Eva is one of Wellington's most famous burlesque dancers and has such grace when she moves her body.  Always a joy to photograph.

Free Range Kids Farm Day | Wellington Children's Photographer

The weather today was dodgy at best but boy did we make the most of it.  I made up for never having had a daughter today with a marathon girly dress up party in my farm house studio.  It looked like a fairy exploded in my closet when we were done and it was wonderful!

And my bling buying session at the Equip sale was completely justified!

The First Museum Hotel Girly Shoot

Our first Museum Hotel Girly day was held this past weekend.  We hired our a suite, set up our lights, brought in a crack Hair and Make Up team and had a good old girly time!  Half of the girls wanted modeling portfolios and the other half just wanted to have some incredibly sexy and beautiful photos of themselves.  Some ladies had lingerie shots as well in the privacy of the suite.  It was a grand old time held by all.  We are holding these at the Museum Hotel monthly but they book up fast so make sure you get yours booked in.  The cost for the day is $250.00 and for this you receive a delicious time being spoiled getting your hair and make up worked to perfection.  Then you will get to have a modelling lesson with Mandi Lynn who will show you how to display your body in the best way to accent your assets.  Then it is off for an hour and a half long photo session around the hotel and out in the Wellington waterfront.  Beautiful!  To find out more leave us your details and we will get in touch with you.
