ITS MIDNIGHT

Its midnight and I should be asleep.....my famous line.  God my poor punished body, its screaming for sleep and I can't stop the madness....I do have every intention of getting up tomorrow morning and going for a walk!!!  Bet a million dollars I wake at 7, push snooze and daydream for the next hour about going for a walk but will just wait one more minute!!! Anyway lets start the new day (cause its now 5 past midnight) with a photo of my precious girl.....at least I acomplished something good today!!!

Ok one more

Only because I love these hats....and the model.  Brenda you are the best, she has a tonne more GORGEOUS things at her store Natural Star her blankets are divine and made out of the best organic merino....very cosy!!!  

I could be a little biased

Being a photographer I think is the bestest job there could be.  You get to banter with other photographers who 'get you'.  You get to deal with some amazingly talented people who I would like to be in another life.  If I had the opportunity for 3 wishes they would be 1) Peace

2) No hunger or poverty 

3) I could knit like Brenda from Natural Star 

She has been waiting a loonnng time for some shots from me and finally I have succeeded at producing some.  I had the cutest most sweetest little model today who was very obliging.... Actually I think she's my best model to date...however I could be a little biased.

Here is Little Miss Andersen sporting some of the loveliest knitwear around.

and one more just because I think she's adorable

The Best shop in town

Ok so if your ever in this neck of the woods and have to drive through the heaving metropolis of OAMARU (hot little town north of Dunedin) then its a must and a do, to stop into one of the best baby shops in the south.  THE FROG PRINCE has to be the cutest greatest store with some absolute to DIE for items.... I personally adore the place (can you tell) and would kill to dress my darlings in Dagamars range of yumminess.  I challenge all to stop and check it out.   So whilst in there today I fell in love with these gummies...I shall be returning to pick them up!!!  

Sleep baby sleep

This beautiful, gorgeous little man with the most amazing eyes....was not so co - operative in the sleep department.  Now do you really blame him??  Being poked, prodded, undressed, made to lie in fur.  We were very delicate and tried to accommodate his highness, however he was much more interested in what was going on around him than what the sandman had to offer.  Soooo we only managed to snap a couple with him snoozing, however next week his mother and I shall prevail and we WILL get him to sleep....pleaseeee  

Thinking thinking always thinking

Its always great to have willing models especially the kind that patiently wait whilst you fidget and fiddle with new toys.  My latest addition to the world of Fiona Andersen Photography, is a very large,very white  roll of  seamless paper.  Being a little daft I didn't quite realize how cumbersome it was going to be.  However with some help from a very pregnant 'willing model' and some strategic maneuvers the backdrop was arisen and we got some great sweet shots of these two little dreamers!!! Also letting everyone know that instead of having to brave the frosty winds and drizzly rain there is now an inside option for catching those happy moments.  Please contact me if you would like to book a session. 

 

One more

There's a chill in the air...aaaahhhhh, so just one more post of some beach time.  

Everything fades away

Ummmmmmm...please pause..... we have sun...yes....do you read me.... I say we have sun!!!  Whoooooop whoooop.... oh bugger where's it gone.  That pretty much sums up our summer.... stinking hot one day, jumpers and ugg boots the next!!!   Today however we had a glorious one, the sun was beaming, the company was good and the Sav was poured, thank you Rach  and of course Mr Kelly who were splendid hosts and once again lent our their deck for some giggles and barbequed sausages, a favorite of mine!!

Only in this amazing, beautiful fantastic country... I'm thinking I should do some promotion for the NZ tourism board.... do you get to go swimming (in the freezing cold ocean) and have a couple of Hector dolphins to hang out with and catch a few waves!!  Well sadly myself and the girls were late....NEVER...... however the others got to hang with the slippery mammals...blow and bother.  What a magical thing to do in your back yard!!

SO due to being LATE I quickly snapped a few of Ella before we headed back to the infamous deck for saussies 

I need a genie

You know when your super dooper tired and you've had a long day.....you wish your bed would just sneak up behind, give you a gentle shove and magically you would be placed there with two cool feather filled pillows, a cosy warm feather duvet (its all about the feathers....poor ducks) and a gentle breeze brushing across your face...ooh ohh and someone to rub your feet...someone who doesn't want you to do the same immediately after... so lets make it a genie, cause they disappear straight back into their little bottle thinggee thats sitting right by the magic bed, with the magic pillows and duvet!!!  Well after a fabulous long day with some fabulous people thats how I feel...... Today Nicola and John said I DO in front of all their friends and family and what a magical day it was.... the bridal party (bless their souls) made me love what I do, I especially would like to thank John for showing us what he's made of.... LITERALLY, need I say more!!!    Nicola was stunning and had gone to such an effort to make everything look spectacular....and her GORGEOUS bridesmaids who as mums made me feel ok when I dashed to the car to feed the midget we call QUinn.

BIg kisses to all and best of luck to Nicola and John who are a fun amazing great couple!!!

Soooo a couple of shots before you head away to the land of sun....oh don't forget to pack me!!  xxxxx
