Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! (Auckland family-wedding-couples photographer)

Its time to say Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Another year pass by so quickly with so many amazing sessions: family, maternity, newborn, graduation, couples, proposals, elopement, weddings! (One family had a three photo shoots with me this year, this is a record in one year :))

Great time with beautiful souls, such a honour for me to be their photographer and document all these memories for years to come!

Its unbelievable how much variety of event we saw this year, including continue to be official photographers for NZIFSA, photographing all major ice skating competitions in Auckland (including North Island Championships and Nationals where skaters from all over New Zealand come to participate and show their passion and love to the sport). Such a pleasure to photograph!

As you may know, I’m an adult skater myself and this year had an amazing season with personal achievements - 2nd place in ISU Adult Competitions in Oberstdorf, Germany, 1st place in Winter Sun, Brisbane, 3rd place in Hollins Trophy, Sydney and 4th in Crystal Cup, in Melbourne. So many great memories and beautiful times together with my friends.

My kids had an important year in intermediate and high school; son get into development soccer team (Auckland United) and my daughter worked hard to learn all double jumps in skating and took a Silver medal in Nationals in Basic Novice U12 grade. All the hard work paid off!

Even though I needed to spend more time with my family, we had an incredible moments with my gorgeous couples and families.

I also incredibly grateful to continue teaching online photography workshop “Love, Light & Laughter” at Click Photo School (running from 2018, such a great time helping other photographers to find their voice and why in photography and life).

Family Graduation photos {West Auckland photographer}

I had a last minute request from my friend to take some family graduation photos with her son Michael {who just had a ceremony and earned PhD, such an exciting path!}. I drove to West Auckland to became a special occasion photographer to document these important moments for his close friends and family.

I love to shoot different events, especially weddings, so Im approaching the photo shoot with two ways - to get natural organic photos {when everyone happy, enjoying their time going with the flow}, get some behind the scene documentary photos and also capture some stunning portraits {with some elements of directions and posing, aiming for a casual look}.

We took some lifestyle photos in Henderson family home, when family been having some lunch and then got some beautiful photos at their backyard, memories that worth to remember!
