My Birthday
It’s my birthday. This year I turn 36. It feels weird, but not because I particularly care about the age thing. I just feel like I’ve done quite a lot in the last year: I broke my arm. James and I got married. We bought a second dog. I went for a promotion. I gotContinueContinue reading “My Birthday”
Things I am loving this week
This week I have been really busy! The project I’m working on is due to end on the 29th October, so life has been hectic.

Everything seemsContinueContinue reading “Things I am loving this week”
Motorbike Test: Take III
Today I took my bike test for the third time. I failed. Again. Test No.3 was terrible; I failed quite majestically, but it’s okay because I went straight to Waka Kotahi (NZTA) and renewed my license, giving me another five years and a bit of breathing space. I had to sit my theory again, butContinueContinue reading “Motorbike Test: Take III”

Portrait Session: Tim and Roz
This weekend was my second weekend of portrait sessions. I had three over the weekend. This session was the second, and with people I knew; Tim and Roz and their family.

Beki Makes Things: Glitter Helmet
I tried really hard to find a helmet that really stood out to me. I was, however, unlucky in my search, and had to find alternative ways to rock a fabulous helmet. Wellington has loads of places to find materials with which to DIY your own cool things. So I went out and located theContinueContinue reading “Beki Makes Things: Glitter Helmet”

This weekend I had the pleaseure of photographing Taita Cricket Club in their new kit.
