ClickinWalk 2016 Auckland {New Zealand lifestyle wedding photographer}

Last sunday I been happy to took part in worldwide ClickinWalk in Auckland, New Zealand next day after shooting wedding in Hamilton NZ. A little bit more about it from official website:

"The online relationships that have blossomed within the Clickin Moms community of over 16,000 photographers are heartwarming. ClickinWalk is an opportunity for women who know one another in the virtual world to come together in the physical world and bond with others who share their passion for photography.  This event is designed not only to give women (and men) an occasion during which to nurture friendships and professional networks, but also to provide a chance to challenge both their photography and creative skills."

It was a great opportunity to us, lifestyle photographers to meet each other, had a relaxable walk and talk and capture some images along the way :) I been proud to be one of the ClickinWalk leaders with Clair and we been thrilled to met amazing women-photographers in our New Zealand ClickinWalk. Time went really fast and we met sunset at Auckland Viaduct and Wineyard Quarter.

Big Changes | Lifestyle wedding photography | North Island, New Zealand

If you wonder why it was so quiet in our Blog during the week, the answer is simple: we were really busy moving house from Auckland to Hamilton, New Zealand.

Yes, thats right, we relocated :) Its so exciting! New changes, new hopes, new life! (and a lot of packing, cleaning, unpacking, big task, ha-ha!)

If you ask me is there any changes for clients / friends, I will answer: absolutely nothing and everything :)

Aucklands clients still get the same level of service, Hamilton just 1 hour away what sounds like nothing for girl originally from 5-million citizens city St-Petersburg where travel to work could take 1-2.5 hours one way :)

Its also means wider zone coverage: we service now not just big Auckland area, but also Hamilton and all Waikato area (Thames, Coromandel, Taupo, Otorohanga) and Bay of Plenty as well (Tauranga, Rotorua) and surroundings!

More opportunities and we love to travel. Destination weddings and lifestyle family sessions are welcome!

Look forward to all exciting changes!

Capture everyday moments. Family time. Lifestyle photography

Hello!

We love to take kids out and give them freedom, run around, have fun. Thats what they like :)

And sometimes I have my camera with me. I should mention - its a hard task - trying get the best shots with fast little ones and run after them (one second and they gone :).

So we spend some family time at One Tree Hill (Auckland) and look from the top of the hill at Cornwall park and beautiful city around with Skytower somewhere at the back.

My boy took his 'blunky' - his bed sheets what he just love to take everywhere especially when he tired. Yes some kids take with them teddy bears, but our boy can't live without his dummy and english traditional style blunky with teddy bears (its not too bad, sometimes he takes in bed robots or big cars!).

And he been running around with it, and some people even helped us pick it up so it not fly away from the hill. Oh-oh!

My little princess Anna-Bella had her own fun and prefer walk around and had fun in daddy hands.

And William tried explore everything around and go high on dangerous stone wall.

At least kids had some fun and we enjoy the views!

(here my husband. Probably he have no idea I blogging his picture :)

These pics special for me because its my time with family. And after some time will be good to look at them and remember what we all did together, or what our kids love to do at this age.

(when we was driving today to Christmas shopping I tried remember what we done at AnBe 1 year old. And it was terrible - I couldn't remember any single thing. SO go back to find any picture from this day to remember...)
