Imaginariums | Isabella and Tigger

Imaginariums are one off pieces of surreal photographic paintings that are created to celebrate the adventures of your child's imagination.  The quicksilver of their dreams is captured in all of their wonder with your favourite little person as the star of the show. 

Behind the scenes: of Izzies Imaginarium:

So when Isabella goes off into the land of her imagination she brings her trusted friend Tigger with her.  I asked her to draw a story of what they get up to and hers involved her and tigger bouncing with huge springs on their feet into a deep wood.  There was also her cat and an Umbrella featured as well. 

Today we shot the first series of images for her Imaginarium piece.  Can't wait to get started on it. 

This was Izzie's drawing

Beautiful Bethany | Wellington Photographer

Today I am working on some images of Leigh and Bethany a gorgeous mother daughter duo who came to have a mothers day shoot done with us.  GORGEOUS!!!!  I haven't even gotten to Leigh but I worked up this one of Bethany and I couldn't wait to show it off.  Isn't she the most beautiful porcelain creature ever?  Her skin and eyes and hair and lips...geeze what a gene pool.   So looking forward to the rest of these but let me just share this one first then I can dive back in!

Nummy Noelle | Wellington Fashion Photographer

Noelle was one of our model for a day winners that we met at the Wellington Wedding Show.  She is on her way to get married in Germany and wanted to get some lovely shots done for herself and her partner.  We had such a good time on this shoot and lucked out.  As I was taking her to my favourite black wall to shoot on there was this gorgeous mustang parked in front of it and the owner / friend of the owner / some dude on the street was standing by the car and let us use it for the shoot.  LOVE the result. 


When Noelle came to collect the images this week she was laid out with a cold and then wrote us this, " Thankyou again so much for the beautiful makeup, hair and photos! I love them! My cold is going away and I am pretty certain it is because my body figures it has to feel at least half as good as that woman in my photos looks."


Glad you are feeling better Noelle and I hope you have a wonderful trip to Germany.

The Court of the Sun King | Radio New Zealand

Just a sneak peak at a collaboration  I am doing at the moment with Clarissa Dunn and  Leimomi Oakes  for Radio New Zealand.  Leimomi is a textile historian who has created the most amazing series of 18th Century dresses.  And Clarissa will be doing a program entitled the "the Court of the Sun King"  We had a good old time in the studio which felt like it turned even more into a French Boudoir with silks and lush fabrics in every corner.   Beautiful.  The show will air in May on Radio New Zealand and will feature 18th Century Music accompanied by the images on their website. Exciting.
