Sister Update

Maeve has had her mop chopped and she can now wave. *high five*

Mr and Mrs O'Sullivan

   

   

      

This is a good book.

In fact, I reviewed it on the radio this morning! Maybe I am biased as it has a strong Korean theme, but I still think most people will like it. Listen to the last 5 minutes of this George FM podcast.

Please don't leave me.

Last night...

Last night, two of my patrons (and very good friends) played an amazing joint show at the  Kings Arms. Afterwards, Stu, Tono and I found ourselves at the Chinese restaurant Spicy House at 4am...which can only be a good thing.

Tono and  the Finance Company

Dictaphone Blues

I also got to play with my new lens. I'm not a technical/gear photographer at all. I hate changing lenses or even having the option of changing a lens. I hate taking a camera out of a functional camera bag and I especially hate taking off the lens cap (lucky for me, my lens cap is in Fiji somewhere.) So this whole "new lens" business is a going to take a little getting used to. Thank goodness for it's amazing low light capabilities. 

It's actually pretty sweet.

Lens Flare Love

There's nothing I love more during a wedding shoot than a wee bit of lens flare. It's spontaneous, romantic and makes everything look that little bit more magical.
I've recently heard you can do this on photoshop? Oh the digital crimes!

These shots were taken on my very first assisting assignment - the Irish/Samoan extravaganza of Esther and Tama. When Nikki Barlow approached me to help her out, I was a little nervous as I hadn't assisted before - but I learned some invaluable knowledge and different ways of working. Assisting for the win!

Lil Pudding

My lovely friend Holly is such a clever lady - ever since she had wee Ruby, she's been making the most of her amazing screen printing skills with her new business Lil Pudding.

And of course, it was very important for Maeve to have her own Lil Pudding onesie!

Also, I'm in Dunedin! I've just been at my third wedding of April. Holy! 

Photos will come soon...
