Through my friend Ross I was given the opportunity to photograph portraits of the NZ Paralympic Swimming team just after they had completed a morning during training  session. They were heading off to Montreal for the world champs and needed some current individual portraits for their main sponsor Speedo. Unfortunately official NZ uniforms hadn’t been issued at this stage. Regardless I found a suitable space to set up my lights, do some tests and fire away in between each athlete getting a much needed bit of breakfast. Enjoy  😀

Personally I love shooting on location. I love working with natural light and all it’s challenges. Generally in the past I have predominantly photographed maternity shoots in the studio as it’s private for a mum to expose her belly but this trend has changed and it’s not always so necessary to pull up your top anymore and I suppose I approach these shoots from a more lifestyle approach to create something a little more natural with that connection between mum and dad. Anyways enjoy these images of my mate Nik and his gorgeous wife Kaz and their big boy of a bump 😀

 

Ross and I used to play basketball along side eachother…..a few years ago now. So it was a nice surprise when Ross got in touch with me and really just wanted to get a really nice portrait of them both. I suggested we go out for a type of engagement session at a location, but without the engagement. On the day of the shoot I was surprised to find out that in fact they had become engaged in between emails so it was quite a special shoot in deed. Enjoy 😀
