Little Rascals family photos
Year 4 photo shoot with this coffee group has just been completed.  It's been lovely watching these Little Rascals get bigger every year, with new siblings added along the way.

Gatsby inspired, 1920s
I really do enjoy photo shoots inspired by the 1920's and The Great Gatsby.  I love the styling, the flamboyancy, and the old hollywood lighting.  
This session was last week, taken at the awesome 'Kulture Shock' store in Ngongotaha, Rotorua.  Makeup and styling by Sheryl Morrisey.
​Here are a few of my faves.

Sharn and her pony, Dolly, were part of a very pretty photo shoot for make up artist, Shaquille Baker.
The theme for the photo shoot was, Boho Bride.  Here are some highlights.

"Life is full of whimsical happenings", Watson from Sherlock Holmes

When the Hieatt family hired costumes for a 1920's engagement party, they realised it would be a great opportunity to have some fun family photos done.  Feathers, Falsies, Pearls, Lace and Lipstick, a vintage photo session on a rainy afternoon.
