The White Horse

I absolutely love doing maternity sessions, mums are at their most beautiful. And I especially enjoy doing these sessions outside somewhere. It just adds to the natural beauty of the moment.
This session, mum loved horses, so we met out at Te Karaka at the Riverview Treks & Pinehollow Riding School, what an awesome place, if you love horses get in touch with them, they are so lovely.
They had this beautiful white horse ready for us, and she was so gentle. She knew that she was with a pregnant mum, as she gently rubbed her head on the mums tummy, it was just beautiful to witness.
I cannot say enough how much I loved doing this session, the scenery was wonderful, the whole time we were there it was really special.

Learning your Craft with Creative Live

I've had the pleasure of learning a lot of my craft with Creative Live. My specialty is newborn, maternity and family portrait photography which has been perfected by these amazing classes and bootcamps on Creative Live.

At the moment I'm enjoying a class from Sue Bryce and Kelly Brown, Bumps to Babies which covers some great posing techniques and tips for getting the image just right, using correct angles and lighting, techniques of posing baby with parents, maternity posing, and each monthly stage of baby over 12 months which is a fantastic idea to market with your business.

But not only do you learn the technical side, there is some great ideas for marketing  which is so important to our businesses, the ideas will keep you busy for a long time but the real bonus is the amount of tools that come with this class, Photoshop templates, marketing cards, posing guides, birth announcements, session reminders to name a few.

This course covers a lot of aspects of your business, for example; branding, how important your name and branding is to your business, this is the first thing your clients will see to  get to know you and your work.

How is your website performing? What are you specialising in? Pricing, marketing, blogging, social media...... I know I'm going to watch this class many times to let all the information sink in and keep me inspired. Learning from such successful business creatives has to be a "win win" for my business.

The Beauty Within..

Smile Baby Maternity
Maternity session in Grays Bush Gisborne

I just adore photographing the blossoming beauty of an expectant mother, although uncomfortable, she is glowing, she has an aura about her, she should be so in love with her body right now, it holds a child, a living, moving child that will need and want her love and nurturing for the rest of its life.
In just a few weeks this child will be born, and will become a huge part of her life, extending her family, this child will be a son or daughter, a grandchild, a cousin, a nephew or niece, a great grand child, adding to the generations before them, a new story is beginning.
Who and what this child will become has a lot to do with the history before they arrived, the lessons taught by parents and grandparents to be passed on to this new child, add to this the amazing inventions that are to come in this child's lifetime.

It just astounds me.

And you dear mother are a goddess!

Belly Beautiful

Smile Baby Maternity
Man I love doing maternity sessions, 'Mama to be' looks absolutely glowing and is so ready to be meeting her beautiful little bundle.
Hair, skin and eyes are at their healthiest and 'Mamas to be' all have a look of pure contentment and are ready to nurture.
I love being able to capture that look, that moment in time that all her children in the years to come will look at and know how much their arrival meant to her.

I carry you close to my heart, and you will always be there.
