This was my highest scored image and this was some of the positive feedback given.
This is a beautiful, timeless newborn portrait that’s been crafted with care and an eye for detail. Well done on the soft lighting and keeping your edit realistic while presenting a clean and precise finished product that the client would dearly love.
I chose to enter this image as I adore this pose and try to do it where I can. The Womb pose shows how babies fit in the utero how incredible is it!
I chose to enter this image as I really love how I have captured this real and raw moment between Remi and Mia. The freedom and the story it tells is every mother’s dream. I know this memory will be treasured by Isabelle forever and it is one of the most beautiful moments I feel I have captured this year.
I really adore capturing my clients story and showing culture where I can. Jah’s mum was very clever and made both of the KOROWAI’s in this image which is a huge and delicate job. I hand drew the Moko Kauae not something I had ever done before but I had this vision and im so pleased with how it all came together.
I find alot of heart and soul in generational memories. They hold so much value. I really wanted to capture the importance of how our memories will always hang on our walls even long after we have left this world for future generations to see. I always am educating my client’s on this and wanted a visual image to put my words into reality. I cant thank Hayley and her family enough for allowing me into their family home and letting me capture my vision. I know this will be treasured and is a subject I will continue to persue.
As most of you know I love Dandelions, they are in my logo. I have longed for the perfect photo of making a wish and during this family session Remi did the most perfect “make a wish” blow. The way each dandelion danced and the look on her face is so pure and magical.
Dandelions are rich in spiritual symbolism, representing resilience, hope, and transformation. Their ability to thrive in various conditions symbolizes overcoming challenges and the power of perseverance. The act of blowing on a dandelion’s seed head to make a wish is a common practice linked to hope and dreams being sent out into the world.
As a photographer we are obsessesed with light, me personally love to chase the light, manipulate and play with it. On this particular evening it was something else. The sunbeams were so vibrant and it was just a dream honestly. It made for the most magical memories of Beth and Taylor’s chapter of two beautiful human’s about to enter into a new chapter of their lives together as they become parents for the first time. I adore capturing this chapter it’s one of love, connection, hope and dreaming. I entered this purely because I felt this moment mixed with the beautiful light was pure magic.
Again feauturing beautiful Jah but this time with her partner Costa and their baby girl when she was womb side. I didn’t even know this at the time but when I directed Costa to do this pose I could see this instant connection and the Energy boy was it strong. You can feel it when you look at this image even. They then told me that this is a native New Zealand Tradition called the Hongi when two people put there noses and foreheads together. I entered this image as it was one of the most energy filled captures to do this date and everything about it drew me in!
