Beautiful girl

My best friend in the whole world's little girl. She takes my breath away.
It was such an awesome experience meeting her for the first time.

Competition

Paying it forward competition!

I have had some utterly lovely people and families bless me with their support over the past year or two and to help pay that love and support forward, I would like to introduce a new competition.

The prize is a childrens, family or maternity session for one lucky person/family worth over $100!
The winner will receive a 30-60 minute shoot at a location of their choice and will get 30-40 colour and black and white high res print ready images on a CD - to do with as they wish.

You can enter for yourself, for friends and family or even just someone random you think is deserving of a little treat. 

Enter in three easy steps:

1. you need to 'like' the Kate Armstrong Photography page on facebook to become a fan or become a 'follower' below.

2. Tweet, blog or share this competition on your Facebook wall.

3. leave a comment with your name (or the name person you are nominating) and your email over at my website here...

You may enter as many names as you like provided you repeat step 2&3 each time you do it. 

The winner will be announced on the 30th of March 2011.

Please note, the person must be located in or will be happy to come to Auckland to receive this prize. 

Thanks again to all the wonderful people who have encouraged and supported me over the past two years.

Heidi

Long crazy day, but just had to share this picture - Heidi - one of my beautiful nieces.

More tomorrow. But now, tv on couch with man and sleep!

Just had to share

This picture from a shoot the other day...



Gorgeous Lucy (who you might remember from here and here), her bouncing identical twin brothers and her long suffering granddad trying to juggle them all.

My Guy

He is so beautiful. Even when whiny.

Party time

We hit up Amelia's 4th birthday party yesterday and I spent a good chunk of it snapping cute little faces on the camera.



 



The more pictures I take of kiddies, the more i want to do it as a job.

The Eclair, 10 weeks old

Sometimes my heart gets so full of love looking at my kids that I feel like I'm about to explode. Seriously, all cheesiness aside - full on exploding brains and body matter across the walls.







So freaking cute!

Another sneak peak!

I got to photograph so beautiful babies yesterday! Here is a sneak peak of identical twins Tom & Harry...



And you might remember Tom & Harry's big sister Lucy, who was a brillant supporting star in her mama's maternity shoot a while back.



Absolutely loved photographing these people, they were all so lovely. Its days like that which make me wish I could do this as a full time gig. Maybe one day eh?

Last call!!

I'm going back to work in November, so its last call for these crazy specials.

So if you have been thinking about getting some shots done, or know someone who is - now is the time to get booked!

And hey.. while we are here, wanna give me some Facebook lovin?

Éclair - one week old today

Starting 'em early...

I didn't realise how much is missed taking pictures of my little guy. And he is a little GUY now, not a baby anymore. When did this happen!?

Meet Cooper!

A Little sneak peak from a shoot I did the other day. Such a sweet little baby!








P.S Sorry about the AWOL-ness lately! its been a busy and stressful month.

Little boys like to eat dirt and rocks

I have been dying to share these pictures from a client shoot a month or two back, but since the pictures were for a birthday present surprise, I didn't want to upload them to the internet just in case the birthday boy came across them somehow.

This was a fun and easy wee shoot, Zach got a bit sick of staying put and looking at a camera when all he wanted to do was little boy things such as eat rocks & dirt/explore/get the car keys etc etc but otherwise is was lots of fun.












Big big thanks to Anna for letting me share these with people!

Busy bees

I've been given some enforce 'bed rest' (im choosing to ignore the 'bed' part of this) by my midwife this week so I'm using my time wisely on doing stuff to this place that I've been meaning to do for months.

So as you can see, ive created a new header and menu bar along the top. I had so much fun doing this stuff and wish i could do more of it.

As well as cosmetic stuff, I've been busy coming up with photography packages and redoing the way I offer my photographic services. Here is what is on offer right now, if you know of anyone who may be wanting some photography work done, please please please, pass on my details - it would be greatly appreciated!

My brain is utterly bursting with ideas of where i can take my photography and graphics and I'm just itching to get started.

Oh baby!!

I was lucky enough to have a photo shoot with this little cutie a week or two back and wanted to share a couple of the images.


I especially love the pouty face, so so cute!



Loving doing these baby photos! If you know of anyone who wants to get a few snaps done of their little ones - please please point them towards my current specials :)
