Jai

What an amazing little man...  He slept through the whole session.  I love the little expressions that appear on Newborns faces throughout the session.  I often wonder what it is that they could possibly be thinking of at different times!!!  It was hard not to be absolutely smitten by Jai.  It was plain to see that Mum and Dad had been smittened a gazillion times before me though.... 

Paton

Paton has the most amazing eyes.  They shine just like she does.  She really didn't want to miss a minute of the session.  We did eventually tire her out.  How truly beautiful is she!!!!

Zachary

When Zach smiles the world is just a brighter place.  When he laughs you can't help but laugh with him.  He is just a joy to be around.  How lucky Mum and Dad are.....  What a beautiful, beautiful boy!!!

Tara and Chris

Tara and Chris - their love is so inspiring.  I couldn't wait to share their images with them. (sorry I can't put them all on my blog). And Tara what a gorgeous tum... I so look forward to your Newborn's session.

Love Stories

I know I have said it many times before "I am so lucky to do what I do".  Since coming back from holidays I have had the best time.  How special it is to be able to capture every ones love stories. 

The love between a couple

The love between a parent and child

The love of a newborn

The smile and sigh of a parent when their child does something that touches their hearts

The coos of a new parent when their baby starts to cry

The reassuring cuddle a parent gives their child

That special caress or that knowing look that passes between parents

How lucky I am to be able to share in these things that are so precious.

Our little adventure in the South Island of New Zealand

What a great time we had, so many precious memories for all of us.  Here are just a few photos that I took.  We used the video camera quite a bit too.  It was my younger children's first time on a plane.  What a rough flight we had over too.  Not a great experience.  Their first time to see snow.  Our second day in the car and it was snowing all around us (my husband captured that on the video camera).  I stopped the car and the children made a snowman.  It was just beautiful.  We went skiing took some lessons and by the second day the children were experts.  Amazing, Amazing scenery.  Just wonderful....
