Lots of great things come out of travel. And from a friendship made in Banff in Canada over five years ago between and Brit and a Kiwi, lead to the opportunity to meet again, on the other side of the world and capture this very special time. Josh & Belen, who also met travelling (see, great things!), were gracious enough to put me up for a couple of nights in their beautiful home south of Auckland, New Zealand. During this time, we drove out to a secluded beach just before sunset, to capture their love, their home and the beautiful bump in one of my all time favourite maternity shoots.
One thing I adore about New Zealand and my time travelling there – aside from the drop dead gorgeous scenery – is the total relaxed and casual vibe of the whole country. Just have fun, be comfortable, seems to be the general attitude. And I love it! This shoot was super chilled out, no shoes, lots of laughs and even some g&t for the photographer!
