Over these school holiday - which did drive us all a bit mental - I've been thinking about how I photograph. How I photograph life, our family, our experiences, and ways to really start making this more than a hobby again. I was lucky enough to start photographing weddings at the Wellington Zoo! It is such an… Continue reading Another trip to the Wellington Zoo and photographing your children
With the cold lately, it's been hard to get out and about. But, the moment that sun pokes through the clouds, we try and take advantage of it! A few weeks back, we took a little trip to the Wellington Zoo. We got to see so many amazing things, a tiger feeding, a couple feisty… Continue reading Winter at the Zoo
We aren't an overly political family, but somethings can really grind our gears. So this weekend, the boys participated in their first protest march! Well, rather, they came along for it with us and got to witness democracy in action! Of course, there was a little playground action first. If you aren't aware of what the TPPA… Continue reading TPPA, Go Away!
Life with twins can be hard enough, but what do you do when you have to climb 72 step everyday to leave the house, with two babies in tow?

"He's in and out of consciousness and has a lot of swelling to the side of his face." the nurse told me.… Continue reading So when the horrible happens…
Ok. Totally crying. This past week, one of my bestest friends in the whole wide world came to visit us in NZ. It has been a whirlwind trip for them, visiting so many places in such a little amount of time. But I feel so lucky that they spent a week with us here in Wellington.… Continue reading Such a beautiful week…
"Go see the ducks." "Off to see the ducks." A couple weekends ago while we were enjoying some of that summer heat, Jacob suggested on a Saturday night that we should go the next morning and see the ducks down at the Wellington Botanical Gardens. The boys were keen. It turned out to be a lovely… Continue reading Duck!
Ok. Heatwave is maybe overdoing it. But it's been hot here lately. Easily 27C in the shade and horrible in the sun. And to remind everyone not in NZ, we are lacking that vital part of the sky - the ozone. The sun is scorching. Sunscreen, hats, sunnies. You can never be too careful. Needless to say,… Continue reading The Great Wellington Heatwave of 2015!
