“Little feet leave big imprints on our hearts”

They don’t stay this tiny for long. Document them before they become little people with big ideas. Most parents dimly remember the whirlwind that is the first few weeks of your baby being here.

If you are taking photos on your phones don’t forget to print some. Make those books and create hard copies that you can hold onto even if your phone breaks or is lost.

How gorgeous is Meelah! She came in to the Patea studio for a Fairy session Saturday morning. It took her a little while to warm up to the idea but I got there in the end & caught a smile!

Do you have a little girl or boy who is all about them too? Get in touch to book a session!

It was busy in our Patea studio yesterday. We had a little fairy, a new baby & Jenni from Jenni Corbett Art.

Jenni posted her selfie with her art on her page and I noticed she didn’t have a great photo of herself. So I invited her in for a portrait to fix that situation.

I think her portraits turned out amazing.

Eli rocked his newborn session yesterday. He was such a peaceful little soul.
Thought i might get some eyes open but obviously I was boring. Every time he opened them and I tried to have a chat with him he crashed back out.

Hi, I did the draw late. Was hoping I’d have internet where I was on Saturday to do the draw live but it wasn’t to be.
I redid it today and recorded the draw instead

Caught up with my friend Darlene before I head back to NZ. She wanted a photo for her work account as they need one for the Teams profile etc.
Natural light and beautiful smile was all we needed for this. Thanks for letting me share
