Whilst in Worthing I alsomanaged to see Lerryn and Jamie, who I first met around the same time last year. They are so entertaining, I really enjoy spending time with these two. Lerryn reminds me of myself a little when I was that age. Bossy, but in a good (funny!) big sister way, and full of imagination and exciting ideas for play. Jamie is just edible. I wish I could record his voice for my blog - he looks like a little angelic 3 year old, but then he has this totally adorable husky 'been here before' voice. Lush.
We played in the garden at home, and this year we also went to the beach where Grandad has a beach hut.
A family portrait there, even though I may not be popular for including it on the blog! Aren't they all beautiful and photogenic though?? No reason at all for anyone to think otherwise.
We are off for a family holiday in Cornwall tomorrow. My brother Aidan and his wife Katie who married last year are doing a post-wedding 'trash the dress' style shoot with me whilst we are there. Hopefully it will involve wading through the (FREEZING cold) sea!

I was in Worthing (near Brighton) this weekend staying at my cousin's house. She arranged a couple of photoshoots whilst I was there, and this was one of them. It was nice to get back into the swing of my documentary portrait stuff. I feel like I haven't done this for ages!
Worthing is such a British seaside town, and I noticed that so much more after three years in New Zealand. The little white beach huts, pebble beach, Victorian houses, pubs, trinket shops.... It's all very cute, and in contrast to the big landscapes of NZ.
The Sweeney kids are lovely, full of energy, and up for all the games and tricks we played...
Lush. I'm off to take Elmer to the park for some slide action. Another blog post in the works for tomorrow I think..

We're all over the place at the moment, but I have a day in between a camping trip in Wales and a weekend in the South East of England to blog.
Elmer is having a whale of a time. He's making new friends and experiencing all sorts of new (British?) things. Sitting in a tent listening to the rain for example.
Here he is on the plane from Kuala Lumpur to London. Did I mention the journey took 83 hours? We were delayed by snow in Christchurch and that threw out our connecting flight. Elmer did very well but was pretty tired by this point. I think I only took one photograph on the entire journey.

And enjoying our camping holiday (including new girl friends):
I'm off to pack!

Doesn't life fly by? It seems like only last week that Shelley first telephoned me to ask about wedding photography, and now she is only weeks away from welcoming her and Bailey's first baby into the world.
We photographed Shelley, Bailey and Bump in the middle of the Dunedin winter. Since Shelley and Bailey don't live in town, we needed to find somewhere to do our indoor photographs. Luckily a friend of mine offered her home which is up for sale. However, because nobody is living in the house at the moment, it was FREEZING cold! Shelley is the consummate model though, and managed to carry off the glamourous model-in-empty-house look without a peep.
So excited for these two!!
Lushness. Oh and thank you to Cass for the use of the house!

Winter photoshoots are always slightly risky in Dunedin, because on the one hand we could have a freezing cold, windy, wet day, or we could have a lovely mild sunny day. This was one of the latter. If the sun does come out, it's my favourite light of the year.
Rachel and Rodney are very sweet, as you can see here.
It was a bit cold for no sleeves but Rachel is made of sterner stuff than me :)
