The joys of God-children

Recently my partner and I were asked the priviledge of being Godparents to a beautiful little boy.  We are both deeply honoured but as a photographer its a really good chance to practice photographing babies and in the process offering the parents a beautiful collection of photos that they don't have to pay the earth for.  Anyway just wanted to share some of my favourites of our special little guy

Spring is Springing in New Zealand

I have always enjoyed spring, especially from behind the camera.  New Zealand is colourful all year round but I have found that even in spring, NZ can surprise me.  A week ago I had the opportunity to go to Hamilton and walk through the Rose gardens there.  Despite the rain, a friend and myself managed to get out there with our cameras and have some amazing fun for 2 hours.  We could have spent hours there but with our respective partners back waiting for us we cut it short.  Below will be some of the spring looking shots that I took and the rest can be seen at www.facebook.com/proffittphotography.

Studywise I have completed Module 2 and received a 7/10 mark.  While I am not happy with this mark because of my own rushing and misunderstanding of the questions, I learnt not to rush things and to take my time understanding what is required from me.

On the business side of things while still slow it has picked up a bit of pace and I am starting to get a name for myself.  Business cards arrived yesterday and was all very exciting and made it official that it really was happening.  I think I will tweak the business cards a bit more and really want to get a variety of different photographs on the cards.  But for now I have a base to start handing out and making myself a little bit more well known.

Well I have rambled enough today.  I hope those that read this are enjoying the beginning of their next season, whether it be spring or autumn.  Here are my favourite photos of spring so far =)
