morwilkie swamp

when i was in auckland recently i had the pleasure of photographing the morris/wilkinson clan.  a friend had brought them a voucher for christmas to have family portraits taken out at their way cool new house in murawai (west of auckland).  i was so excited because along with getting to shoot the family, i could make a quick side jaunt to my favourite beach, maori bay.  alas the weather wasn't so great for seeing the beach, but perfectly diffused light for portraits.  the kids were super awesome, and the younger one was even telling me he loved me within half an hour of me being there(apparently it's quite common for him to do this - bless).

jonathan smart gallery

late last year you may remember i did a shoot for my friend pete wheeler for a catalogue for his show at jonathan smart art gallery.  well i popped in to see jonathan last week to see how his summer was etc and he asked me if i'd like to come and shoot artworks in his current show.  well i wasn't going to say no to that, was i.....even if shooting art is so so hard(getting the colours right ain't easy)

precious moments

i was recently up in auckland catching up with my friends, and basically hanging out. i realised at the end of the trip that almost every day i was there i was surrounded by children. it's official, i am pretty much the only childless one amongst friends my age.
when i go out to visit my best friend, and mother of my god-daughter i always have the camera on hand. there are three in the family now and i always like to get some snaps so i can look back on how quickly they grow, especially as i see them so rarely. here a few of my fav's from the afternoon i spent with them.

 

s had a friend over, so i got a few snaps of them hanging out too.
