New album up now!

The wait is over……after a month of chaos with sick humans, sick dogs, 80th birthday parties to organise and new sporting commitments, I’ve finally found some time to edit and upload the millions of photos I took at the last club day. There are a huge number of photos because it was our little Logan’s first time racing and what kind of mum would I be if I didn’t take thousands of photos right??? See if you can spot him on his little bike that he’s named “Cheetah 🐆”……I think it’s because it’s yellow 😂

Anyway the majority of the images were from race 1 and these are on the website now…..feel free to head over there to view all the images and download any that you want, there is no cost to do that 😃

These are just a few of the images but you can find the full album here: https://junebenefield.editorx.io/chb-motorcycle-clu-2

I’m currently finishing off the remaining photos from race 2 and 3……so keep checking back for more uploads.

Enjoy.

Well I wasn’t planning on posting any of these MX shots but I got asked to take a few extra photos of some of the riders, so what was meant to be just a few photos of friends and family has now turned into quite a few.

There are over 500 images in total (and I have culled nearly half of them) so if you want to be able to search by class then head over to the online album where you can also get the images in high resolution if you want a copy. Unfortunately I didn’t get all of the races……maybe next time.

Anyway if you like them, give them a 👍 so that I know what to take shots of next time.

Enjoy xx

Happy 1 year moving to your retirement home anniversary Vinnie (aka Da Vinci’s Dream).

Your first day was a bit rocky but that’s all part of settling in.
Since then you quickly stole our hearts by showing us your quirky personality and we have come to discover you are also clumsy as f**k but you score 10/10 for cuddles.

Your pretty shy when strangers visit but you have never been shy with us, and pretty quickly you made yourself at home....sleeping in our room and when you see an opportunity....on the bed.

You discovered the kitchen is where all those yummy food smells come from and if you hang around a morsel sometimes comes your way.....especially when there is a 4 year old dropping food and treats all the time.

You love going on doggie walks (so much so that you sit in the back of the car waiting to go if I leave it open). You have come a long way with your endurance too and now you are always trying to be the one leading the pack.

It’s been so cool to get to know you this past year Vinnie and we hope we have many more years with you and your clumsy feet. We hope you are enjoying this new retirement lifestyle.

Love from your retirement family, Ross, Logan, Maya & Ruby, Uncle Terrence and me.

Thank you Giselle for trusting us to take care of this very special doggie. @ Central Hawke's Bay

I've been sitting here trying to put into words just how amazing this wedding was but unlike me....I’m just lost for words.

Tracey & Brad were just so incredible and I’m so happy to have been there to capture their special day. I can't believe how lucky I was to spend the day with such wonderful people at their family farm in the stunning rural CHB followed by a ceremony under the grape vines at the incredible St George’s Restaurant in Havelock North......I honestly lost count how many times I forgot to breathe.

After a full on few months of craziness at home and work with renovations and shifting an entire showroom for the Tile Shed Ltd, and a big day of wedding photography yesterday, it was so cool to take a little road trip out to Ongaonga today with Alice and of course the cameras 😃👍🏻
