I had the opportunity to photograph the Diversity festival at the Vodafone Event Centre. This beautiful and colourful event gathers about 400 children from schools around Auckland. They get the chance to train all year long with amazing teachers and music industry professionals, to perform amazing chorals at the end of August. What a great event to document!

As part of the ongoing NZ artefacts collection, I photographed more items for the Auckland Museum online store. There was a bigger variety of unique jade pendants, jewellery and tikis along with traditional maori wood carvings. NZ family games and children’s books were also part of this time’s collection. The biggest focus however, was on red poppy artefacts in remembrance of our soldiers for the Auckland War Memorial Museum. Rem

I recently did a photo shoot that I’d love to share with the world. The Auckland Museum recently acquired a new range of kiwi pieces and Jessa Cochrane and I styled the artefacts for the latest addition to their online store. The pieces were simply magnificent! Entirely done by NZ craftsmen and artists, each of the artefacts contained elements of jade or maori koru and tiki symbols and a few other elements that made them exclusively unique to New-Zealand.

It’s always very special, witnessing two minds work as one to create an amazing product – synergy at it’s best. I recently got the awesome opportunity of doing a photo shoot for the perfect power team : Two Auckland based designers from Grey Lynn, with a unique eye for fashion blending their different styles for a Fashion Show.

I’m so happy to share a few photographs from this stunning 50th wedding anniversary which took place in Auckland last month, since they had their wedding in the Mint Springs Farm that is a great wedding location. What a blast to be part of this event! As you can see it was an afternoon full of significance and emotion across the generations. In this main photo tears of joy filled the eyes of the golden jubilee couple as they opened this beautiful anniversary present. A 50th wedding anniversary is an incredible milestone!! Congratulations to the happy couple, lovely Barbar and Dereyck. What a success – so many beautiful children, grandchildren and so much love.
