🚗 CHB Bound This Weekend 🚗

Waipukurau is calling, so I’m heading to CHB this weekend with my Sony and dogs in tow. 🐾📸 I’m hoping to float around the JA, JB, and JC rings in between my runs (JC 500s and JA 500s) so that I can try capture a little bit of everything throughout the event; however, if you’d like any specific photos of your dog(s), please don’t hesitate to come say hi or grab me if you see me lurking with the camera around my neck! 👀 Weather all permitting of course! 🤞🏻☀️

🌟 I will also be available for mini shoots over the weekend! 🌟

In case you missed it:
The North Taranaki event photos are now live on my page. Have a browse while you’re settling down for the evening, or playing passenger princess! 🤪

Before we leave tomorrow (Friday):
I’m aiming to chip away at some of my outstanding tasks, which include working through some final edits for mini shoots as well as getting those already purchased event photos out to their homes! 🤞🏻👀

Things have been a bit slower these past two months thanks to a very full on work schedule, but it is finally starting to ease up a bit as the UoA students hunker down into exam mode.

⚠️ Just a head’s up! ⚠️
I’ll be having my annual agility break during July/August. The ✨️ Feilding JDT Benefit Show ✨️ is looking like my last event until September, so if you’re wanting to take advantage of the agility mini shoot packages, then we have 3 shows to make that happen! 💛

✨️🖥 Working Hard Behind the Scenes ✨️🖥

I’ve been a bit quiet on social media lately but that’s because I’ve been trying to keep the editing flow alive behind the scenes while trying to stay on top of my day job work (student labs this week… yay🥴) and obviously paying the doggos attention and making sure they receive their quota of walks, cuddles, and training time. 🐾 My PC is also slowing down a bit so I’m having to do multiple restarts if I get stuck into prolonged periods of intensive editing…🙃 If anyone wants to give me a workhorse laptop for my birthday coming up soon, I’ll send you some links for the potentials! LOL! 😜🤪🤣

📝 Current Work load:
🔸️ Finishing off some mini shoot galleries (hoping to have all of these up to date and delivered within the next 1-2 weeks - I appreciate the patience🙏💛).
🔸️ Doing the basic post processing on the Napier/HB Jumpers Championship event photos (hoping to have these go live sometime this week if all goes according to plan).

🗓 Upcoming Events:
🔹️ North Taranaki Jumpers Event: 18/19 May 2026
🔹️ Hoping to be at the CHB Jumpers Event on the 6/7 June 2026 (so it’s a maybe)
🔹️ Hawera Indoor Agility Event: 20/21 June 2026

If you have a new addition to the family, or are wanting to capture some special memories of your dogs, then please get in touch! I am always happy to book in some mini shoots while attending the events. 😊🐾

⚠️ Reminder:
Price increase is coming on 01 May 2026. More information on this can be found in my previous post, and the new price list will be available on my website from 01 May 2026.

⚠️ Price Increase coming 01 May 2026 ⚠️

The time of year that I absolutely dislike but in order to help alleviate some pressure from the rising prices of everything, and taking into consideration the time and effort I put into editing all of the purchased photos, it’s time for the annual price increase. 😅😬🫣

✨️ Event Photos:
From 01 May 2026, any albums posted after this date will be priced at:
🔹️ $9.00 for a single event photo
🔹️ $23.00 for a 3-event photo package
🔹️ $15.00 for a full edit on event or single mini shoot images

🐾 Event Mini Shoot Packages:
This price increase will also affect my event mini shoots.
🔸️ $40.00 for 3 fully edited photos
🔸️ $65.00 for 6 fully edited photos

ℹ️ When booking the event mini shoots and purchasing one of the packages, there will still remain a special deal for any additional photos purchased:
🔸️ $10.00 for an additional fully edited photo
🔸️ $6.00 for an additional basic event style edited photo

There’s still some time to jump on the event mini shoot bandwagon before these prices take effect.😊 I will be at the Napier DTC Jumpers Champ event on 18 & 19 April 2026, so if you have been on the fence about booking in for your own portrait keepsakes, then feel free to message me! 📩

Also keep your eyes peeled on a sneaky sale on all 2025 + Jan/Feb 2026 albums ... 👀 This will be announced soon! 😍
