Practicing portrait shots

Well I don't know about anyone else but I am well and truly over the rain in the Bay of Plenty!  I am suffering from serious lack of photography chances due to not being able to get out because its been so miserable.  Today I decided to bite the bullet and actually use my poor over photographed daughter as my subject and practice some portrait shots.  I am picking that within the next few years she will be well and truly over being photographed.

Anyway heres a few of my favourites as always 

First Official Photo shoot!

Last weekend I was honoured to be a part of a young boy's Cancer Fundraising Shave EVENT!

NO, I was not the one doing the shaving or being shaved, however I did get the opportunity to do the photoshoot for it.  What an amazing experience.  Not only to catch up with the GKR Family who I have missed, including Noah himself. But I got to practice doing my first proper photo shoot as well as have fun with the crew involved!  It was the most amazing experience and let me tell you we could learn a few things from Noah and his bravery.  This boy is 14yrs old, battling a rare brain cancer and STILL can smile and "keep the love".  Was so great to see him smiling and having an awesome time with everyone.  

A big special thankyou to Dawn and Susan who let me a part of the whole event.  A huge hugs for Noah, you are inspiration dude!
