It is important to me to support worthy causes. I recently donated a voucher to the Harcourts Avonhead Team for the Harcourts Grenadier Bid for a Cause Charity Auction Event fundraising for Cancer Society Southern. My voucher was part of a combined hamper which raised $4000 on the night contributing to an overall tally of $135,000.00 far exceeding the goal of $100,000.00. An amazing result to help find cures for this disease which affects far too many.

Wow what an incredible week at the NZIPP Iris Awards and NZPhoto Show..have only just been able to catch my breath.

3 Days of incredible judging in the Potrait, Wedding and Newborn Categorys. And providing feedback for the Amateur Awards Photojournalism Category.

2 Days of NZPhotoshow Conference with incredible speakers. Finishing off with our Gala Dinner Award night, a night I will never forget.

I achieved a new level in Honours, Master with Distinction 2 Bars.

Then was awarded to my complete suprise, the Honorary NZIPP Silver Spool Award for services to the NZIPP.

Next was the Curtis Pool Award in honour of Dick Poole and Brian Curtis. I was one of the top 4 entrants invited to toast Dick and Brian. (Canterbury NZIPP region tied with Auckland on points.)

Lastly, I was announced as the Creative Wedding Photographer of the Year.

Thank you to Maia Arielle and Angelo Maggione for bringing my ideas to life.

Thank you to for sponsoring the Category, the NZIPP, Honours, Judges and All the Volunteers that make this week epic.

An amazing time of year when the NZIPP family gets together. So much love, joy and friendship as we catch up our buddies from around NZ and Aussie.

Thank you to our Aussies for the time you take away from your businesses, families and loved ones to come hang with us. The energy, joy passion, friendship and the little bit of crazy you bring to our organization is second to none. You are the best.
