I really enjoy taking photos of children, they never fail to make me laugh.  Why do kids seem to be so much more expressive than adults?  Is it because we are more conscious of hiding our feelings as we grow older?  I don't know, but I came away with my memories that made me giggle.  

Here is a bit of tongue and cheek highlights from the Plunket Fundraiser called:
"What to do when kids can't keep still"

Thank you to all the families that supported the Rotorua Plunket Fundraiser 2014!!

Just before we do the New Year Website overhaul, I am offering a double month whammy, and the last of the 'Limited Editions Portrait' sessions.

Dec/ January is a time when us Kiwis get together with family and friends.  The kids come home, friends stay over, we go to the lakes, the beaches and have lots of bbqs on the home front.

The Calico Jo's half hour digital image package, (30 minute photo session, digital images on a usb),
is $225.  For the months of December 2014 and January 2015, I am extending the photography session to 60 minutes, giving you more time to get photos with the whole extended family or your group of friends.  More time, more photos, more memories to display.

There is a $100 deposit to book the day, the balance is due once you have seen your photos and are happy to accept them.

Recap: $225 for an extended 60 minute photography session and extra digital images on a usb.

Get your friends together,
Gather the whole family,
Let's spend some time together ;)

Maternity session with Mother and Daughter and baby to be.  Taken at the Rotorua Tree Trust.  It was at least a couple of years ago the last time I took photos of this family, and I still have a favourite black and white shot of Juliet as a toddler on my website.

Lovely to see you both again,

This pretty lass is Sharn.  She is wearing dress and hat creations by local fashion designer Kharl William WiRepa.  I watched Kharl whip up that hat in 10 minutes flat! :O

You were beautiful to photograph Sharn.
