Wellington Engagement Session: Damon & Jessica + Joel

Bright smiles + sunshine + a happy couple + the most adorable little boy = fun-filled-engagement/family session.

I had a great time doing this session because Damon and Jessica made it easy for me to capture how they are as a couple. They were relaxed and so comfortable with each other. A photographer really couldn’t have asked for more. And when I met Damon’s son, Joel, I just knew how much fun I was going to have photographing him because he simply LOVES the camera and the camera just adores him.

We started the afternoon at this park, where Joel pretended he was a warrior while Damon and Jessica watched him as he showed me and my camera his moves!

Then we drove to the beach, where we were given more gorgeous golden sunlight.

On this photo, you can see Damon’s first and second attempts on making Jessica’s ring, then finally the ring and the coin, that it’s made out of.

Zara Isabel turns 5

I can’t believe these photos were taken a year ago already.
Our beautiful Isabel turned 5 yesterday and how I wish I can freeze time even for just a short time, because she is just growing too fast.

Happy Birthday to our one and only!
We love you to pieces!

First day of Summer – Little girl in the big city

Today officially marks the first day of Summer and it didn’t disappoint. It was sunny and hot the whole day and I think it’s going to be even hotter tomorrow. But who’s complaining, right? Hot weather > cold weather anytime!

I took Izzy and my camera out for a date in the city today and they were both very happy.
Just look at the amazing chemistry between them, the camera definitely loves Izzy!

I think I can spend a whole afternoon roaming around the 1st district of Vienna, it’s just too gorgeous. I definitely wouldn’t mind getting lost here.

Wellington Newborn Portraits – Olivia

Meet Olivia, Angela and Kurt’s little bundle of joy!

I can’t believe how time flies. Just a few months ago I shot my first maternity session with Angela {here} and {here} and now their baby girl is here! Olivia was born on April 8 at 7:03 am weighing 2990g and I got to meet her for the first time last Saturday. There was so much love in that room while I was photographing her.. and I was so amazed to watch how much joy this little one brought to everyone there.

Welcome to the big world, little Olivia!

Marc, Diana & Zac – A year later..

You might remember this adorable little boy from this session. It was such a pleasant surprise when I received an email from Diana a few weeks ago. It has become a tradition for them to have their pictures taken every year on Zac’s birthday. And what an honor for me to have been given the opportunity to take their photographs and witness their joy as a family again. I can’t even believe a year has already passed! Children do grow up so fast, sometimes as a parent, you wish you can freeze time so your kids can remain kids for a little while longer. One thing’s for sure though, this little man here is still as adorable and cute. I certainly wouldn’t mind being a part of his birthday again. 🙂
