This was a teeny mini shoot I did for Shelley Povey last week after she shot some family portraits for us (which is amazing of her because she is VERY pregnant). I can't miss out on another milestone in Shelley and Bailey's lives because I have a lot of the others here, here, here and here. Beautiful family.
And a few cute ones of our boys together...
Cute aren't they?
Next up... Milo and Elmer x

Deirdre and Nick are a super sweet couple, up for anything I suggested, including wading out into the sea in Dunedin on a Sunday night in March. They are getting married next year (2014!!! doesn't that seem like ages away?) I'm really looking forward to working with them. This engagement session was loads of fun, I'm not normally a massive beach fan for portrait shots, but I may be coming around to it...
Yum. Feels like the end of summer to me. Autumn is pretty cool though, so I'm mostly okay with it.
Oh, and just so I can show off, here is the tasty banana loaf that Deirdre MADE for me!!!
It's all gone. About 1/3 was gone before I got home actually, running around on the beach with heavy cameras is hungry work.

That's what I call him.
I have to try hard not to show off about this baby. His natural reaction to almost everything is to give us this huge beaming smile. When he wakes up from a nap I wander in to him and he is examining his little hands, then he sees me and his face lights up, rather like this...
Life with two small children, and a mostly-work-from-home job is quite busy. That would be an understatement actually. At this time of night (10pm) my brain almost ceases functioning completely, but I can just about manage to arrange some nice photographs of my baby. Goodnight!

This week is Elmer's first week in kindergarten (kindy/nursery). Since he's always been a sensitive little boy I was slightly nervous leaving him today, but very proud when he gave me a kiss goodbye, and said "bye bye Mummy!" He had a fabulous time with the diggers and dump trucks, then when I came back to collect him he was almost too busy to say hello. He'll go three times a week in the afternoons, and I get to do non-Elmer activities whilst he is there. Like working!
Here he is yesterday busy at one of his favourite recent pastimes... driving cars through yoghurt (with berry smoothie):
Only a big spoon will do these days, and a big plate... and a big chair. Anything as long as he is just like Daddy. That's great because I was thinking he wasn't enough like Steven already.

The blog has been very quiet recently, but I plan for that to all change. I've probably made that promise on here before, but this time I'm motivated!
We got back from the UK last Thursday night, and headed straight into some bitingly cold weather. Since winter here is a quieter time for weddings, I hope to be able to devote more time to blogging and other neglected activities. Not least because I have a terrible memory and love being able to look back at my blog over the last years to see what I've been up to.
It's a bit of an emotional rollercoaster travelling from my current home in NZ, back to the UK to see family and friends, and then leaving them all again to come back and see Steven, who missed his wife and son loads (I'm told). I hate saying goodbye, and tend to keep it very short and casual. Anything else and I'd be a sobbing wreck. Once again, Elmer was amazing - maybe it's his age, but he finds travelling so exciting, and was dying to see his daddy again. Unfortunately he was fast asleep for the big reunion, but when he woke up (in the car on the way home) a big smile grew slowly on his face when he realised he was back, and he reached out for my hand and whispered "Daddy".
Here are some highlights of Elmer's stay in the UK this year:
Elmer's fallen in love with a few new friends this year, and has discovered a hidden passion for worms (of the common garden variety). He's such a beautiful, gentle boy, I'm lucky I can haul him around the world and get away with it.
More blogging to come, including the current state of the house build, and a wedding I shot last Friday in Dunedin (stunning)...

I've been neglecting the blog a bit during wedding season, so I'm going to quickly post up some recent shots of Elmer. I really really want to do a blog post on the house build, but ANY day I remember I need to photograph it, it's raining. Like today! I'll definitely do it this week.
Elmer said goodbye to his Grandma and Grandad two weeks ago, as they left New Zealand headed for the UK. Considering he absolutely adores them, I was dreading the goodbye. But when the time came, he was fine. He said 'bye bye!' and I explained Grandma and Grandad were going home on a big plane. He asked for Grandma that night and I told him the same thing. Then nothing for three days. Until we were in the museum last week and Elmer was looking at an exhibit, when suddenly he turned around and shouted "Da Da!!" (Grandad) in a big loud voice. "Where is he?" he said, looking around. I had to explain again that Grandma and Grandad went home on a big plane. It was like he suddenly realised they'd gone.
I don't know how a two year old brain works, but I'm glad he's more robust than I am!
Phew, a blog post done! I will endeavour to get on here more often. An Ohau wedding coming up too!

We were hoping for a sunny day, and we got one. This was a recent family shoot out on the peninsula, and I arrived early to beat the midday sun. We spent a lovely morning running around under the trees, playing with diggers and hiding dinosaurs.
Often when photographing families I can divide kids into two different types. There's the kind who are shy, and take about half an hour to warm up before they become your best friend (Elmer). Then there's the kind who are best friends with you straight away, no effort required. Sam and Monty (I love the name Monty!) are the latter variety and utterly gorgeous. One of the beauties of being small is that you can dispense with boring small talk, like "Hello", and get straight into the important stuff, "Look how BIG the plants are!"
Since the garden is being dug up for drainage, there were two proper, full size diggers left at the side of the lawn for the weekend. Boy heaven. I think we spent about 80% of the photoshoot in the diggers.
What a gorgeous family. I quite like having a boy (who is into all the traditional boy stuff) because it gives me an intro into the world of little boys. Dinosaurs and diggers. I never knew how many different types of vehicle it takes to make a road for example, or who Lightning McQueen was. Just....um..... fascinating....
I have a wedding tomorrow, and then a wedding on Saturday, and then it's Christmas, and then it's 2012!!!!! And in the first nine days of 2012 I have... FIVE weddings!! I'm off to bed!

I photographed these guys before I left Dunedin - about three months ago now, and thought I should blog a few images before I head back into another wedding season next week.
Brothers Harry and Archie and two of the smiliest boys I've encountered. They are totally and utterly adorable.
I see that look quite a bit on dog's faces. He's loving it really.

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!

Elmer has fallen asleep on the sofa and I'm taking the opportunity to blog. I know Belinda will be eagerly anticipating these (we've been trying to arrange a photography session since new baby Sylvie was born 6 months ago!)
It was over a year ago now that I photographed Belinda at home with husband Sean and baby Claudia. Claudia is now two years old (scary how that happens) and has a baby sister who is almost old enough to be cool and play games with her, but in the meantime is at that cute, cuddly giggly stage.
I tell you what, these guys make such a gorgeous family unit, I could photograph them every week. You know how it's cool to have a 'girl crush' these days? I think I have a 'family crush'! We were chatting in advance of the shoot and decided to do a two stage session - one stage at home involving jumping on the bed, and one stage in the woods with balloons and bubbles. Organised chaos!
Lush. A few more blog posts coming up. If I don't fit them all in before I leave I will be blogging from Wales!

Stacey and Paul are old timers now. I shot their engagement photographs, their wedding photographs, Stacey's pregnancy photographs and now their super cute baby photographs! I think that's a record for the blog. Six month old baby Riki is of course, DIVINE. I couldn't wait to meet him and see who he looked like (Stacey when he's serious, Paul when he's smiling. It's the other way around with Elmer). He has such expressive eyes, he's like a little baby deer!
It was lovely to chat to Stacey about baby-rearing, and see her and Paul so content and happy as a little family unit. Makes me feel all emotional, sniff!!
Paige the terrier was also there. I'm sure she has a little inward groan when she hears me coming up the drive, poor dog.
A few from our session last week:
Love this next series I've entitled 'Crazy Baby'..
Cute! I have a few more baby related images coming up. One is Elmer dressed as a bee!

I thought I'd share some images from this family shoot I did a couple of weeks ago. When the sun is out in Dunedin the winter doesn't seem so bleak! Briar is 8 months in these, which is a nice time for a photoshoot because baby can sit confidently and is also super interactive. Briar particularly loves anything with a hint of danger it seems, including getting close to some rampant geese, and being flung around in a big quilt.
Lush. You may have noticed a few changes around here - chief among them my new website, which isn't a drastic change from the old, but a bit swankier and smoother. I'm also not logo-ing my images anymore. That's just a personal decision, I hate smacking some writing on a photograph, and the reasons I was doing it before don't really apply anymore. I reserve the right to change my mind though! We'll see how I go.
Guess what? The roofers are arriving tomorrow!!! We will have a roof on the house this time next week (quick, touch wood!) if all goes to plan. I'm totally ready for it to take 15 times as long as expected (as per usual with this house), but ahhhh, it'll look great.
Does anyone remember a house on Grand Designs that was in the Isle of Wight and was a 1950s bungalow conversion? They did an exterior cladding on there by blow-torching larch weatherboard. Burning it black. That's what I want on the side of the house :) A bit of a feature. I'll be gutted if Steven gets to do that whilst I'm away though. I want in on the fun.

Well, these are just the first two bits of wood that will eventually form the walls of the bathroom in our house, but I cannot tell you how elated I was to see them go up this week! Steven says things should happen fairly quickly now we are onto the actual building stage of the build, rather than all that dull foundation work.
Even as I type this, there are about 6 other bits of wood joining these two, but I'm only just getting around to blogging. They are very tall, and make me think how big the house will seem compared to our little barn conversion.
The last few days I've been dreaming about the finished product. In particular:
- I want a wind-break slatted fence to go around the edge of the garden area to make the house all cosy and enclosed. I wonder if we'll be able to afford this when the house is finished?
- What type of bath will we have?
- I would like Elmer to have a really magical, colourful bedroom. I wonder what I'll do with his room...
Here's the boy himself examining his Dad's handywork...
I'll blog as much of the build as I can over these next few weeks. If it doesn't rain constantly that is..........

WOW looking good - free standing baths are always the best - and nice and deep..... a word to the wise, make sure you have a shelf or something made beside it thou to put you bottle of wine on when you are soaking in the bath and looking out at that AMAZING view!

Yes a free standing bath indeed. I'm thinking a more modern free-stander rather than one with claws though.. and the shelf idea - fabulous! Katie - only 4 weeks to go! x

I photographed baby Edward with his lovely parents Tyler and Chuan, at home in their beautifully renovated Dunedin villa. Their whole house could have gone into my Ideas scrapbook for our build! We spent the session doing baby things - playing, having a bath in the kitchen sink, dressing up as a cat, lazing around on fluffly blankets...
Edward is so full of character and smiles, and didn't get grumpy the whole time I was there, very impressive - Elmer, take note.

I've been updating a couple of things on my website, the most obvious of which is the new flash movie on my home page. I've got ideas for a few more adjustments in the coming months, but thought I'd best get on with things whilst Elmer is still unable to crawl. Apparently when that happens, life as we know it will come to an end.
Roisin:
Just had a look at the new website – you are AMAZING!! I seriously have never seen photos this good. What a talent, I’m so proud! You should enter competitions or something.
Wow.

Haha, thank you Roisin. What lovely compliments! You probably don't look at the Magnum photography website as much as I do though ;)

I promised to upload an image of the ducks enjoying their new pond. Somehow I've also taken many many photographs of Elmer. Not sure how they snuck in....
Me, Elmer and the dogs (I know grammatically that should be "Elmer, the dogs and I" but I don't like that rule) took a couple of walks around the land and I took my camera. It was a cold when I took these, and I thought it might be the end of summer.. but today, a week later it is beautiful and I'm sat here in my shorts!
How can I not take photographs of someone THIS cute??
Those are man-tights by the way.
The ducks...
I think Regal is the word you're looking for:
For all the people who ask, "Sinead, why are there no photographs of the house being built on your blog?"
Believe me, when something of interest happens (i.e., something other than the foundations), it will be photographed.... and blogged... The exciting thing is I think the house will definitely be built before Elmer goes to school :)
I'm off to dig up potatoes. The Desirees have come up lovely.

Stacey Butson:
Sinead Elmer is soo cute and especially all wrapped up in his winter clothes! its scary to think that already the summer has left us!

Monica:
I hope we have a dull day in the UK summer so I can show off those man-tights. But it's that slightly worried face that I adore! Is he concerned about the colour of the ducks' water??

Thanks all! Mum the duck water is fine (!) just a bit cloudy from the clay soil. They love it!

The idea of baby tummy time is for the baby in question to lie on his front, lift his head up to survey the world and thus exercise his neck muscles. Amongst other things.
This is what Elmer does:
He lies like a cute little slug looking out of the window and contemplating life. But hey, who needs a big thick neck full of muscles when you ALREADY have a girlfriend?? Here is Elmer in bed with his girlfriend Erin, and you'll notice they are holding hands!!
I'm not sure what he said to impress her enough for this to occur, but it may have been the fact that he now sleeps in a cot!! Like a big 'ole baby. Well, I say 'sleeps'... haha, maybe 'naps' would be more appropriate...
Look at his little shocked face! I probably shouldn't have told him we're sending him out to work quite so soon....

Stacey and Paul are a funny, happy, beautiful couple. Not in the triple-whammy way that you might secretly hate them for it, but in the kind of way that they're really good fun to be around and REALLY easy to photograph. When I received their Wedding Questionnaire (that I send to all my couples) in the post, they had both scrawled all over it and it was so funny! I was laughing out loud in my empty little office. Well, I say office, I mean my desk in the corner...
During the shoot I imagined we were in any number of different cities, all within little ole' Dunedin (Stacey and Paul's dog Paige came along for the ride).
Some leafy suburb of Paris maybe:
Los Angeles:
London:
And New York(!)
Nice to imagine anyway!

Hi Sinead
These photos of my sister and brother in law to be are awesome. I love the way you have captured their fun personalities. I so look forward to meeting you at their wedding and seeing the shots you will capture on their special day!

Yay, more photographs of my baby!
He's either frowning or laughing...
He's getting some nice baby chubb now. All he needs next is some hair! My parents are arriving in two weeks(!!!) so I'll have to teach him some tricks...

Dad:
Hi Sinead, Don't worry about the hair you were pretty bald until you were two. And as for tricks, we don't expect any - just get him to say grandma, and your mother will be happy.

sheryl:
Congratulations Sinead, he is absolutely gorgeous! He has your sparkle by the bucketload for sure! Can't wait until we have a little one so we can get you to take some more lush pics!
(11.27.09 @ 07:14 PM)
Sinead Photo:
Aw, thanks Sheryl. He does have lots of sparkle, I'm just trying to train him to be more sparkly in the day, and less sparkly at night! x

Steven. The Husband:
I'd just like to say that those hands of mine have never had a manicure. Might be about time if they're going to feature in anymore close-ups. What a state. Oh it's cos i've been building, that and they were run over by a tractor

I did a little mini - photo session with Taylor and Kate at their home last weekend. Taylor is 2 and a half, and Kate is 6 months. Kate is at that sitting up stage where she is liable to topple over if there's a slight breeze, or if she moves an arm... so I have her all lined up in the view-finder and she just disappears from sight! Taylor is easier to capture as long as you have a shutter speed of about 5000ths of a second :)
This is Kate. Look at those cheeks!!
And her gorgeous big sister:
Lush!
There's a couple of exciting things coming up round 'ere, so I shall keep you all informed x
