isobel’s mum and dad are old friends of mine, and back in 2006 i was privileged to photograph their wedding (some photos in gallery #2 on this page) and baby shower last year too. they no longer live in auckland so this week i met their gorgeous baby daughter for the first time! isobel was so cooperative and really seemed to enjoy all the attention.

when we arrived at the park, i was disappointed to see the cloud cover obscured the sun, but i turned around and noticed some really pretty light under an avenue of pohutukawa trees and so we ended up with LOTS of great shots! here’s a selection…

good night isobel, thanks for being such a great model!
