Recently I shot Sparky at Woodhill Forest up at Muriwai Beach. He's a funny old thing, doesn't take much to being ordered around, will not pose on command and pretty much just looks at you all the time like you're ridiculous. It's remarkably hard work to shoot a horse, but a lot of fun.  For the full album click here.  For the full album click here.  To View More >>

Throwback Thursday! Royal New Zealand Navy September 1980 Intake Reunion (2010) Back in 2010, I had the pleasure of heading along to the RSA in Browns Bay and shooting the reunion of the September 1980 intake of the Royal New Zealand Navy. It was an interesting evening, with some interesting stories and some even more interesting characters tellng them. It takes a special kind of person to be able to cope with being away at sea on a boat for any length of time. And these are the people that volunteer to do so. Respect to each and every one of them!  For the full album of photos from that To View More >>

I've shot the McKay Family for many years now, starting with Jen & John's wedding way back in... let's just say way back. Previously we've used the park and beach as a backdrop, this time we set up in their home. This gave the kids the chance to choose their own props, which worked really well. We got some great shots!  Next week I'll be putting out a Friends of Jen (& John!) portrait special so keep an eye on the Facebook page. It'll be an in-home special like this shoot, so it'll include me coming to your place plus some digital images. Will be interesting to see what kids choose To View More >>

Winter Party 2015 - A Night in Bollywood With colour so bright and vibrant it literally sent my camera's white balance mental, the Ruapehu Ski Club's annual Winter Party brought the bright lights of India's Bollywood to the moutain. Inspired by marigolds, incense, elephants and a vodka laced mango lassi, the building was transformed into the Lodge Mahal for the evening. Despite the weather conditions, and a closed mountain, we were still able to get the decorations up the mountain and ensure the party continued for the 85 members of the club who attended.  The amazing chefs, Kirsty, Mike, To View More >>

Smokefree Band Quest 2015 Last year I went to my nephews Band Quest competition to take photographs and was lucky enough to hashtag my way to winning him a 20th Anniversary Fender Strat guitar, which was pretty cool. Yesterday I went along again to watch him and got to photograph him playing that very same guitar! I'm pretty biased, but he's super talented. And my only request is backstage passes for Aunty Heidi once he's famous.  \ To View More >>
