New Year, new life..

Monday 2 January · Portraits

What better way to start the New Year, than with a maternity portrait shoot. New Year bringing a new life-very soon.

An awesome couple, Anna & Will are about to bring in the New Year with baby Ruby, due in only a few weeks.
I had the pleasure of photographing a portrait shoot down at Smails Beach, Dunedin with them, and Buddy the dog too.. who seemed less interested on the shoot, and more on the dogs, beach and sea behind them! What do people say about never working with animals.. I did manage to get a couple of him though.

So Anna, is blooming and looking gorgeous, with doting Will who can't wait until Ruby arrives in the world.. however neither can Anna, but then that's maybe also because being that near to delivery, Will was pulling her up the sand dune, whilst I pushed.

But the weather played nice, and sun stayed out and the sky was painted the perfect blue.

Thanks guys, I hope you enjoy the images, as I really enjoyed taking them.. Can't wait to meet your darling wee girl. Mel xx
