Cindy is having a baby! A beautiful wee bub is growing inside - and Cindy is just looking stunning. I went up to Christchurch today to do a maternity session with her. We also had time to squeeze in some fun time with the boys and Daddy's birthday cake. What a fun day - and with such a good-looking family!

-Bill Cosby
As a child I remember one of my mothers birthdays - I wanted to give her something, so I looked around my room... 'What can I give her...?' I picked up a soft toy, 'no, no, I like that too much'. How about this hat, 'no! it's my favourite.' I found an old plastic money box that I hadn't played with in centuries... This'll do.
I wrapped it up and coloured in the paper, decorated it with bows and stickers and shuffled off downstairs. "Happy Birthday Mummy!" She unwrapped it, "thanks Cathie, it's great!"
I found it in my bedroom a few days later after Mum had one of her cleaning sprees!
To celebrate parents, we have mini sessions coming up in both Christchurch and Timaru. See below for details:

Kaylee and Ryan - ENGAGED!

Wow! What a hectic day. Jake had me up early with his coughing (he's a little poorly at the moment, poor little dude), had the builder finishing off bit's on the house and then up to Christchurch for Kaylee and Ryan's engagement shoot. Kaylee spent ages hunting out the perfect dress and hair and make-up artist. In the end she picked out a dress from Two Squirrels Vintage Clothing and had Lisa Humphrey make her up. Ryan and Kaylee both looked the part and we had such a fun, amazing day climbing the rickety Christchurch rooftops and exploring the gorgeous Governors Bay. They wanted a relaxed, vintage feel, here is their sneak peek;
