Birthday Getaway – Rotorua

I turned 25 in August and decided not to have a normal birthday because 25 is too BIG a number not to celebrate well!  So I planned a fun weekend away with my family and a few friends to Rotorua.

We did it style and stayed at Marama Resort located right on the lakeside of Lake Rotorua. It was cold but absolutely BEAUTIFUL! Walking through the glorious Redwoods, late night spas, jumping off tracks and walking alongside waterfalls – so good adventuring with friends! And to top it off, Rotorua Markets with the family & horse rides for the niece and nephew.

Sometimes it’s the simple things in life with quality people that you’ll remember. Check out my 25th Birthday adventure to remember:

Silos Portrait Photoshoot

Had a crazy day down at Auckland’s waterfront the other week for a portrait shoot with the wonderful Melanie Van Voornveld. In just 1 hour we experienced all 4 seasons: rain, sun shower, howling winds & the beautiful sun. However these emotional weather changes didn’t stop this wonderful lady from going to work – jumping into the howling freezing winds with just a top and skirt to climbing rails and doing the splits in the rain, COMMITTED!  This amazing girl is talented in drama, acting and dance – such a joy to do a shoot with her. Enjoy the photos 🙂
