The Newport family all got together for an early Christmas in October, so I headed out to the farm near Gore to capture some family photos for them.

Fiordland Lodge weddings might just be my new favourite thing. How refreshing to step away from Queenstown and its tourists, and into fresh, lush Fiordland. Heather and Nicole’s big day marked the start of my wedding season. I like to kick things off in style! There’s something quite special and cosy about wedding guests all […]

Sarah and Roger chose the warmest night of the month for their engagement photos, so we headed out to Oreti Beach to soak up the evening sun. Of course wee George joined us for a few photos and his moment in the spotlight. I didn’t actually realise how cold it was until I got in […]

It’s a funny thing to be writing this blog in September, when Jagger was born in May. This wee man is the most handsome little four-month-old man you’d ever see now. Last month, I was called to Southland Hospital’s maternity ward for a different reason. In the room next to this one, I photographed a […]

When you’re a shearer, you only get the rainy days off work. Caitlin and JB split their time working in woolsheds between Southland and Western Australia. These two are due to fly out in a few weeks, and won’t be back for months, so we had to make the most of a rainy day off […]

Until the terrible wind and rain of this week, we’ve had a beautiful autumn, and Eilish and Jono took advantage with an engagement shoot on the beach. It was such a warm Southland evening, and we kept shooting until the sun went down. Fortrose is a special spot for these two, and they spend lots […]

Arrowtown is the most gorgeous old town! It’s easy to see why the town celebrates autumn with a festival – huge trees line the streets and when they turn gold, it really is something special. Jamie and Craig are fortunate enough to call this spot home, and they were keen to make the most of […]

Baby Plato hasn’t been born yet but he’s already one of the most loved babies on the planet. Lauren and Andy have been waiting for this wee man for a long time, and what an honour to capture this special time for them. After every storm comes a rainbow, and I can’t wait to see […]

A fairytale wedding for the perfect couple – Tiffany and Alex’s Invercargill wedding was a dream day. These two lovebirds met almost seven years ago when they lived across the road from one another. On their first encounter, Tiffany turned up at Alex’s house looking for some help with her car. He remembers that she […]

On a dry, hot summer’s day in Clyde, Lexi and Ollie got married! These two have known each other since school days, and they are absolutely perfect together. I know both families, also from my schooling days, and it was lovely to spend time photographing them both on such a special occasion. The Clyde Catholic […]
