Aimee & Chris' Engagement Party

good food + great company + fun games = lovely party ♥

Amanda, James, Sam & Locky

I had the opportunity to have a photo shoot with a lovely family on Saturday.

Amanda replied to my ad last week asking if I would be interested in taking photos of her family.

Of course I emailed her right away and said YES! 

Here are some photos taken on Saturday at Petone.

their kids were beyond gorgeous and to say that I had a wonderful time is an understatement! ♥

Weekend was fun.
Izzy got to meet Santa for the first time.
There was a lot of Christmas-y activities in the mall and Izzy got her face painted for free.
and so the countdown begins.. I can't believe it's already December tomorrow. ♥

quiet beauty.

♥

Summer has begun.

we couldn't be any happier with the weather last weekend.

we made the most of the sun and went to the beach on Saturday and Sunday.

I wish every weekend would be as sunny and warm as the last. ♥

I carry your heart with me

i carry your heart with me

(i carry it in my heart)

i am never without it

(anywhere i go you go,my dear; and whatever is done

by only me is your doing,my darling)

i fear no fate

(for you are my fate,my sweet)

i want no world

(for beautiful you are my world,my true)

and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant

and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows

(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud

and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows

higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)

and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)

Her Chucks need replacement. She's grown out of them. ♥

A season of growth.

Rain, rain go away!

You & I Both

You and I both loved

What you and I spoke of

And others just read of

Others only read of the love, the love that I love. -Jason Mraz

sugar and spice and everything nice

SMILE

You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile.
