Last Friday I was asked to photograph the official opening for The Market Patisserie & Cafe. It was all go with lines out the door claiming their free chocolate and coffee, demonstrations from Craig himself and his brother making the super delicious Ceviche! Here is a little glimpse into what the day was like, thanks for having me along! TARANAKI PHOTOGRAPHER: AIMEE KELLY PHOTOGRAPHY To View More >>

When I first met with Nico and Courtney and their cute wee bub, I knew their day was going to be extra special. Words such as "whimsical" and "bohemian" floated around when we discussed the style of their wedding. Perfect! For their engagement shoot we scouted a Deer Farm not too far from New Plymouth and made some magic happen. Have a peek below.. I'm so excited for their Wedding in January! xx WEDDING AND PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHER: AIMEE KELLY PHOTOGRAPHY To View More >>

Samara and Cory welcome their first beautiful baby boy, Rex Rooney, photographed at 13 days. He is so teeny tiny and so so cute! These images will hold precious memories for years to come, especially as he continues to grow and grow! Queensberry canvases are a great choice for displaying your portraits as they are built to last a lifetime. Their high quality fabric and semi-gloss varnish protects the print from moisture, abrasion and UV damage. These 24x20" prints look amazing next to one another or as a stand alone piece!

I recently shot a story for Live Magazine in New Plymouth, Taranaki. The editorial was to showcase various New Plymouth Fashion Houses and the trends for Spring 2014. Luckily the weather held out for us as we shot on location at Tupare Gardens and Deluxe Diner.  Twenty-seven names, Elliat, Maison Scotch, Le Specs, Doc Martins, to name a few, were the great brands we were working with.  Models: Kirsty Honeyfield and Vita Hansen Make-up: Annalee Muggeridge Hair: Michelle Mowat Stylist: Laura Crombie Here are some behind the scenes images - iphone quality: To View More >>

Below is a test shoot I did recently by converting my London flat living room into a studio. It was a lot of fun. Although I myself have no tattoos I have a real interest for people who do. To me it provides a glimpse of their personality, their past, their story. It can pose questions and thought.

While I was back in New Zealand I got the pleasure of photographing beautiful Samara and her growing bump. We wanted to include all the sentimental elements like the wee booties knitted especially by Sam’s mum, (in Taranaki colours of course). After spending some time in the studio we took some lovely photographs on her partners land capturing the last of the evening light. Bliss. To View More >>

Not so long ago I did a Still Life shoot with Net-a-Porter's social media team. We photographed 10 looks in total!

It was published on Instagram and has already gained 11,800 likes and counting!! To View More >>
